Surprise suprise, they can't provide a 3rd order sample at this point in time....
Here is the message. "We talked with our R&D team regarding to the schedule of audio. As our timeline is to achieve the 3rd order Ambisonic in first shipment in October, from now to October we still have a lot of work to do. The 3rd order Ambisonic is not ready yet. Right now our priority is the KickStarter, frankly speaking, we do not have more personnel to optimize the recording. However, we have officially put forward the needs of the 3rd order Ambisonic, and R&D team will prioritize it. We will try our best to give you a demo before the KS ends. However, if we can't do it, we will update you as soon as it comes out."
