TLDR: Massdrop has been selling UNAUTHORIZED/POTENTIALLY FAKE Chord products. https://www.facebook.com/chordelectronics/posts/1161256660641020 WTF Massdrop???? And someone who joined the drop has confirmed the issue here https://www.massdrop.com/buy/chord-mojo-portable-dac-amp/talk/1817061 My comment may not be relevant to these MD made products, but it is related to audiophile stuff anyway. So you better have a proper answer to this, otherwise you will lose me and many other potential customers. @CEE_TEE UPDATE: MD has answered to the issue here https://www.massdrop.com/buy/chord-mojo-portable-dac-amp/talk/1821097 TBH I'm really happy that I can put my trust in MD again. Hope that this will be a lesson for MD and for us as well.

guisess93RELAX!
They are NOT fake. Maybe you should do some research before you scream fire. They're almost certainly grey-market, i.e. a retailer dumping their chord stock.

guisess93"POTENTIALLY FAKE" Once again, you have no idea how this kind of stuff works. If you think MD is selling fakes, you're incredible stupid. Grey market dealings is used in many markets to avoid the producers who's trying to price gounge the consumer. Your false flag is only doing harm. Grey market = 100% legit. So do your research before you make another stupid post.
The company you should point your anger at is CHORD. Massdrop is doing this to provide better deal for the customer.

Sep 20, 2017

guisess93IMO, not concerned about them being fake, but having shady vendors from which the Chord Mojo is sourced from. Comments on the MD Mojo drop where users are stating " serial number removed" or others stating their Mojo "looks used."
Given the horrible refund and return policy Massdrop has would concern me

Sep 21, 2017

DanLeprecisely. I really hope that they are not fake, but nevertheless these products were old, seemingly used, and coming from "shady vendors". All these things really set me back

guisess93they are just grey market and chord is having a fit.

guisess93You have no idea about the age of the product, yet you say theyre old. "Seemingly used" what? There is nothing shady with grey market, which is created by the brand Chord who's trying to price gounge the consumer. If anything is shady, its CHORD practices. Grey market seller benefits the consumer.

Sep 21, 2017

jrjr2I'm so done with you dude. Please go read @audioslave 's comment in CHord Mojo drop. And FYI I bought my watches from grey mkt dealers, but I do know who they are, what their websites are. Here with MD's transparency, I dont know shit, and thus they become "shady vendors". As I said in the other discussion, if you want to save $50, wait 6 weeks to receive an old unit, without the manufacturer's warranty, BE MY GUEST. I've wasted more than enough time with you. Thanks

guisess93Wow. Chord doesn't seem to approve of MD's business practice. I'll be keeping an eye on this.

Sep 21, 2017

jrjr2As guisess93 suggests, read the Chord Mojo drop comments, users are stating the devices they received with missing serial numbers. Others on the Chord Facebook page where Massdroppers received what looked like a "used" Mojo. It wouldn't be so bad if Massdrop had a better return policy.
guisess93 is just providing information, it's just a matter of how you decide to use his information. I received an Aune DAP and realized after two months it stopped working properly and MD stated they only allow returns or replacement if I contact them within 30 days of having received it. My concern is if the Mojo stops working shortly after you receive it, you have 30 days from Massdrop and 0 days from Chord, then you're SOL!

DanLedoes your Aune DAP have a 1 year Massdrop warranty like the Chord Mojo drop does?

Sep 21, 2017

EinTheVarianceMy mistake, didn't realize the Mojo had a 1 year warranty from MD. No, my Aune DAP is covered in their 30 day return policy nothing else. When I contacted them 40 days after having received it I was told they would not do anything for me.

guisess93This post is not remotely relevant to this topic discussion tbh you should probably just delete your original post.

Sep 22, 2017

rhenomI beg to differ. These drops are all for audiophiles, so they are somewhat related. I didn't say anything wrong, so I won't delete my post. Sorry

Sep 22, 2017

guisess93Except that it's really not "related". They had a vendor issue with ONE product that was not THIS product. Massdrop is not an evil corporation trying to exploit its own customers. You even linked their own response (which they didn't post here because it's not relevant) yourself.
But hey, you seem pretty committed to this whole being a dick thing so you do you.

Sep 23, 2017

guisess93Didn't know! Its in an old box, with the serial number cut off, and unauthorized by Chord. What else do you not notice Md? Have fun with that old Mojo battery.

guisess93I know that your intentions are good and you are trying to help people. Thank you.

Sep 23, 2017

mfletchThe box in question, is over a year old with no serial #. The new boxes are a different design. These have batteries in them, which could be problematic.

Sep 23, 2017

Are you seriously trying to equate the use of the words "cunt" and"dick"? I don't think you could find one person out of a hundred that would agree. "Dick" is a fairly benign insult, along the lines of "Jerk", "Loser", etc. "Cunt" is one of the most degrading and offensive terms out there. Or, as the urban dictionary states, "Considered by many to be the most offensive word in the English language". Using it here was uncalled for.

•

Sep 23, 2017

tedhershfor real? English is not my 1st language and I honestly think that dick = asshole, and cunt = female asshole. If what you said is true, then I'm truly sorry for my language used then. Sorry to you and others, not sorry for using it against those who insulted me first though :-/
On a side note, another sad example of gender inequality. Even in swearing, women are still associated with the worst thing. I wonder if my feminist nazi friends know about this and what their reaction could possibly be if they do :)))

Sep 25, 2017

guisess93Oh just give it up already. Call a militant feminist the word you used and you'd probably get a punch in the face- it's considered the single most insulting word that can be used, *from the female perspective*.
I saw your original post about the Mojo complaint last week, and even then thought it completely irrelevant to this Cavalli drop. Keep the noise somewhere relevant. Upvotes don't matter, there are plenty of idiots who seem to like irrelevant noise. Don't use upvotes as a measure of self worth, especially as there are no downvotes allowed here.

Sep 25, 2017

RockyMountainsYou see it as irrelevant, but I don't. If you are "idiot"-ic enough to blindly trust MD, then be my guest, and your opinions are also like "noise" to me :)

Sep 25, 2017

tedhershYou are over reacting. Cunt has a different meaning around the world. Ireland...Scotland...Australia... it's not that big of a deal.

Sep 25, 2017

MotorradAgreed, it is different by country, but in the US and Canada it is considered to be one of the most offensive words you can use towards a woman. Considering MD is based in the US it will be moderated and considered offensive. From RockyMountains point of view he's not over reacting.

This little digression is a perfect example of why the original post about Chord equipment doesn't belong here, it just generates distraction that has naught to do with Cavalli.

guisess93Your a good guy who was just trying to inform and protect other people. I've been bashed. Their are some mean people out there. I surround myself with positive people and try to live a positive life. This world has so much to offer. Keep sight of all the beauty we have been given and try not to worry about those who cant or won't see it and enjoy it. Pay it forward and peace!

More bass!

I currently have the the HD 6XX, which sound great but, I'm am looking to upgrade the power of the bass as i really enjoy punchy low end EDM music. Any suggestions in the $200-$300 price range would be awesome.

Trying to add Topping LA90D amp to Topping A9D preamp

Any help would be appreciated...I added an amp to my streamer, dac, headphone amp/preamp system and am now not getting any music through the headphone jacks on the preamp - the specifics: Wiim Pro Plus - optical connection to - Topping D50 iii dac - TSR to XLR connection to - Topping A9D headphone amp/preamp (all worked fine as a headphone amp until I tried adding:) - XLR connection to - Topping LA90 D amp. Amp switches are set to bypass, stereo, low gain. In this configuration, I am not getting any music to either my SE or XLR headphone jacks. I made sure I switched the A9D to "preamp" and "xlr" modes. I have no idea what I might be overlooking or missing...any thoughts would be deeply appreciated! Thank you.

Mic not working pc38x

I just got my pc38x in the mail today and the out put is quiet but fine and I'm happy. But the mic will not work when on my Xbox series and I was wondering if this issue can be resolved or if the head set is not compatible with Xbox.
