Quick update for the group. These are in Chinese Customs and are currently awaiting customs clearance. Chinese Customs has not provided an ETA for us, but due to the the past Holidays shipments are moving a tad bit slower than usual. We will be reaching out to see if the process can be expedited in anyway. We will keep the group updated throughout the fulfillment process.
Expect an update from us on 1/7 or sooner if something comes up.

HassanSI just received mine today and there is terrible background noise! It makes a crackling noise constantly that increases and is combined with a whine anytime I do anything on my PC like scrolling in a web browser or even moving my mouse cursor...
I might try getting a DAC with optical as the noise seems to be directly related to my PC.

ChrjzI have had that issue with other amplifiers, Particularly a high pitched whine whenever the mouse is moved. I was able to resolve it with an external USB DAC (FiiO E07k if I remember the model correctly). I think it's noise that couples into the onboard audio driver, usually fixed when the driver runs off a separate power source.
Out of curiosity, have you tried the Darkvoice with something else, like say a cellphone/mp3 player? If so, what are your experiences?

tapantherI have a USB DAC; I've been using an ODAC that didn't give me any trouble with my previous amp... but it is bus powered. I have gone ahead and bought a Fiio D3 that I intend to connect via optical which should eliminate any interference from the PC, in theory.
I have no problems listening to it with my phone as the source and the amp itself is completely silent. So, here's hoping that I get it to be friendly with my PC because I do like it. I look forward to trying some better tubes with it...

AudioI literally just got it hooked up with a Fiio D3 via optical to my PC and it is working perfectly, dead silent. Other than that, I can't comment too much on sound because I haven't really had time to listen to it a whole lot, but it drives my 600 ohm Beyers very well. From the little time I have spent with it; I like it but I imagine it would benefit greatly from a good set of vintage tubes.

New addition to the stable.

I made the decision to take advantage of the $600. price on the HiFiMan Arya Stealth, here pictured with the Meze 109 Pro. I think 2025 is going to be a really uneventful year so far as new purchases. I've also upgraded my Fiio BTR7 to the newly released BTR17 and I purchased the Earmen stack which consists of Amplifier, Linear PS, DAC & Streamer.

Drop x Campfire Audio Darkstar Review

The Darkstar definitely has a a unique sound that has an audiophile sub-bass bias. It is a balanced sound with open sounding mids and well extended treble. There is no mid-bass bloat thanks to...

BMR2 discounts for BMR1 owners

How about providing a BMR2 discount for BMR1 owners? Most of the "improvements" in the next gen should really have been there in the first which was a pretty big disappointment for most of us. UPDATE: 40% discount offered. That's great, I'm in. Thank you DROP.

DROP BMR1 Broken?

Can anyone help me with this? Went away for dinner and came back home to my speakers making this static sound(Video Link). Its like this both in Line In and Bluetooth mode. These speakers were super super hot but I was told that it was normal for it to be this way. Sucks that literally I am just about two months out of the 1 year warranty :/ If anyone can help me that'd be great.
