My little room work in progress.
It's not done, I apologize for the mess. Health issues have put this on hold. It's a small room and I'm likely to sell off my KEF 104.2 loudspeakers and some other gear after surrendering the living room to my wife after her patience of 35 years. She deserved her own little sanctuary.

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.

Figured I'd weigh in here. In a lot of cases, shipping costs are a necessary evil especially when fulfilling orders to multiple locations throughout the US and Canada. As a Canadian vendor, I can definitely tell you that Canadian shipping rates are far worse than US rates. This isn't just due to the crappy exchange rates either - it's just the nature of the beast. In my experience, shipping costs will vary from company to company based on their negotiated rates, method of shipment and how it is fulfilled. Some companies will be able to ship to customers directly (cheapest of all methods), while others may need to use fulfillment and/or distribution centers (higher cost). Point of origin also makes a difference. Massdrop works with many different vendors from multiple regions. It's a bit of a balancing act to make products available to multiple locations with the same discounted price points. It's one of the reasons why we currently limit our product sales to US and Canada. Selling products to the European market would be awesome for us and our customers, but I don't think our customers would like a $150 shipping bill (can't blame them).
All this being said, and IMHO, most vendors will try to eat as much of the additional costs for fulfillment as possible and offer up the best overall deal to the customer. However, you should expect to see shipping cost variances on the drops since Massdrop works with vendors who have multiple fulfillment methods and restrictions.
Hope this helps,
Josh
