Why haven't I received a shipping code or response from customer service for my order in over 3 weeks?
Hello, I apologize for using the community to post a customer service ticket essentially, but I haven't gotten any update from this website for my FIRST ORDER regarding some headphones I ordered. Essentially, my partner ordered me some gaming headphones ( Drop + EPOS PC38X) a few weeks ago. I have an attached screenshot of the confirmation code on this post. Normally I'd expect a shipping code to be provided, at most, a week later, but I decided to give this website a little bit more patience because to begin with, my girlfriend was skeptical, but after reading some posts on Reddit recommending this site, I convinced her it wasn't a scam. 3 weeks later, lo and behold, we still have not gotten any kind of shipping update. I am just wondering, on average, how long it takes for an order to get to the buyer here. I have ordered from websites like Shien and etc, so I am not really stressing anything, but considering the fact that I sent customer support an e-mail 10 days ago and...

Assume the individual needs to keep it under $300. I always thought it would be more important to get a really good DAC and something decent enough to drive your headphones.
Headphones>Amp>Source Files>DAC
Keep in mind that I started with a decent sound card (Sound Blaster Omni) so upgrading to a cheap DAC (the Modi specifically) did not produce any audible results. IMO, you're much better off getting a good amp with an okay DAC (Matrix M-Stage or Asgard/Modi) than an okay amp with a good DAC (Magni+Bifrost for example).
In that price range, I'd recommend buying what I am using right now: Audio-GD NFB-15. I've been through several Amps and DACs and I don't feel the need to upgrade anytime soon. I know that if I do, I'll need to spend a LOT of money for not a lot of improvement. The Q701 and the NFB-15 is a price/performance sweet spot for me.
As always, subjective, YMMV, etc.
