Hey everyone, it looks like the shipment of these is going to be arriving early, and we plan to ship them before the end of September (instead of October!). Will post another update shortly when we have more precision about the ship time.
Sept 21st Update: Shipment arrived at our warehouse today. We'll spend a few days unpacking, counting, and shelving everything, and then it'll start shipping. My guess is everything will be shipped by early next week (hopefully sooner!)
KevinWhat the heck. Last time I checked, it said it would be available for two months. I bought the DAC and interconnects to use with it and now it's unavailable. Any information on whether it will be available again? Will it be another months-long wait?
KevinYes but its not really the same thing aesthetically. One is ugly and one is beautiful. The font and branding is much more sophisticated presented, making it probably one of the most simple high tech utilitarian beauty with a simple black box. The font and the branding of THX logo is so beautiful and well presented. Most people in the community agree that massdrop looks more beautiful than the drop variant. It stands out with the rest of the stable of their hifi amp/dac possession to most headfi owners.
Compare to that eye sore thick white bold 'DROP' and unpresented font looks cheaply made and there is no shade of shiny reflection and well presented font like the "massdrop THX 789 amplifier" as shown in ASR link.
Here is my suggestion, if the 'DROP' marketing brand is so important to you people, then I suggest to place the DROP logo at the back of the amplifier to prevent eye sore to the user just like the 'massdrop variant'. Change the font and other things to the same exact look of the 'massdrop' variant. Everything exactly the same but change Massdrop to DROP branding font at the back of the amplifier. While retaining the exact identical aesthetics and fonts, try to improve the materials and built quality. While they are at it, improve the sound signature of transperency that competes with the HPA-4 and equipped THX 888 chip while at it. Please, is it possible ?
I have been desperately searching to purchase the massdrop THX 789 and found no luck. Aesthetics are more important.
Tyler-ivyI don't think you completed your order... there's nothing in your account. Or perhaps you may have a second account that you used to order. Best to email customer service and they can try to figure out what's up?
KevinStill carrying on with the backyard operation planning and communication? Unbelievable. I don't see the point of this amp anymore now that the Topping A50s has been released. It makes this amp obselete price and performance wise. The amp is a has been. Only novices and hype bros would buy this how.
