Order status update....but not in a good way. Placed order on April 29th for a June 2nd ship.
Got this email today.
"Due to an unexpected delay, these orders may ship later than the original estimated ship date. Our apologies for any inconvenience. If we find that the drop is going to be delayed by more than 30 days, we will let you know."
SpozI'm in the same boat. The thread below looks like they experienced delays also. Placed order March 14, Received June 2. 2.5 months total turnaround time. I really hope it doesn't take that long : (
chonalgasHey Buddy, I got some good news yesterday - hope that you did too! I'm in Australia, so I hope that it doesn't take that long from now...
Something good is coming your way!Your Topping D50s DAC, A50, PA3, & P50 has shipped and should be arriving soon. Keep an eye on its progress with the tracking number.....
DarkMegamanGreat name, btw! Yes, I even have a tracking number. Hopefully yours and others' will follow soon. Have to admit I was expecting the worst after the initial email. Don't know if this makes any difference (it shouldn't) but I ordered the complete stack - D50s, A50 & P50.
DarkMegamanI ordered black. Currently listening to music from a Samsung Note 10+ (no headphone jack or internal DAC) with an Ikko Zerda USB DAC and Ikko OH-10 IEMs. Am pairing this Topping stack with a pair of Airpulse A100s for my office. Cannot wait!

Spozno problem man. we are all here for one reason. get great price for great products! but it seems like with the price match i got better deal! apparently apos paid for your tax (they didn't charge me for tax). on my credit card statement for a stack with d50s, a50 and p50, after refund, they charged $395.00 with free Priority Shipping. 3 to 7 business days, plus processing time. Free for orders of $200 or above. hopefully i will get a shipped email soon from them.
DarkMegamanHey buddy! That's great news for you!
Unfortunately...from apos.....
"We do price match to Drop. Unfortunately, we only ship to addresses within the US at this point. We are actively evaluating new markets for our future expansion, and we will certainly update everyone when we are ready to expand into Australia."
I'm thinking about getting a DX7Pro instead....
SpozJFC mate. That's a kick in the balls - after they said it was in transit. I'm just waiting for a pair of Etymotics - said to be with DHL Jun 12 th.
It really seems that whe Mass Drop folds, 30% due to faulty product issues but 70% cause they couldn't organise a a fanny fart in a whorehouse.
Stay casual cobber.
BierTrappistFanny fart in a whorehouse...LoL!
This is just getting weird now - my transaction still hasn't been refunded, my order still hasn't been cancelled AND the stack is available again to buy?!?!
Spozhow's thing? I am no expert, but it definitely sounds better than my fiio e10k. I bought the entire stack, but i don't think you need p50. I tried it without it, I don't seem to notice the difference (could be just me).
I mainly use the stack for my CD collections but the Bluetooth function on d50s is really a life saver. I have music streaming service and I didn't notice any distortion going to d50s unlike streaming to my car stereo. There are 7 profiles on d50s and I use profile 1, it just sounds more comfortable to my ears.
a50 is awesome too! I mainly stick with 0dB as l like to listen to soft voice. On a bad office day, I switch over to 9dB and play some EDM to drown myself!
reminder to everyone. the devices don't come with any rca cable. Get it beforehand, so you can enjoy it on day 1.
