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.

I had a good experience with Drop. Thank you Drop.
Impressive warranty service. Real quick. I needed to return my 6xx for a buzzing in the right speaker. I inquired with the manufacturer regarding the two year warranty and was batted around a couple of times before being directed back to Drop. Drop then covered the warranty even though it was a couple of days past the purchase date of the warranty’s terms. I’m not stating you will have the same results. I initiated the claim prior to expiration. I was issued an rma, I returned my unit and had a new unit two weeks later. Thank you Drop. Another happy customer. I’m not a bot. Send me any puzzle and I’ll complete it.

The Massdrop DAC typo (maybe) in the product description page and the Trojans discovered in the driver download from the xDuoo website have forced me out of this drop. Bummer as I purchased a tube for this device today.
If you're doubting whether it has dual chips or if it's even a WM8740, here is a picture of the internal:
I use Malwarebytes Pro (paid version) and that has the malicious site blocker code in it.
I scanned the downloaded archive file (.RAR) with McAfee and it popped up with the detected trojans.
I'll definitely buy this if I feel confident that the manufacturer isn't gut swapping to offer their product at a lower price.
That Massdrop made a typo in the specification.
Or
That WM8470 DACs were built (since they don't currently exist), and put into custom XDuoo TA-01s built just for this drop.
I'm still concerned that the manufacturer's site is blocked by Malwarebytes and that the .rar download has 2 embedded trojans. Aren't you concerned about that? I don't feel comfortable having to deal with this company if they send me a defective unit.
Cirrus Logic owns Wolfson Micro:
http://investor.cirrus.com/news-and-events/media-center/news-details/2014/Cirrus-Logic-Agrees-to-Acquire-Wolfson-Microelectronics/
Now, go to http://www.cirrus.com/en/ and search for 8740 and notice that you'll get results. Now search for 8470 and notice that there are no results.
As for the trojans, note that "Artemis/*" is a generic result from McAfee, for when its heuristic engine detects behavior that might be suspicious. As someone else mentioned, their own antivirus scans showed nothing. I scanned that download myself with MSE, and didn't get anything either.
As for malicious code on website, Malwarebytes isn't the greatest software you would rely on as a firewall, not even Google Chrome's blocker
And just like McAfee garbage antivirus, it was very likely a false alarm. In case you're going to wonder on what did I base this claim on...below is a link that shows the number of false alarms on the antiviruses out in the market. MS Security Essentials being 0, ESET NOD32 having 1....oh look, McAfee with 10. http://www.av-comparatives.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/avc_fps_201503_en.pdf
So yeah, this product has been on Massdrop more than a few times already. I was one of the few to buy this here when they did the first drop and even helped them fix the specs they missed out on (RCA doubles both input and output instead of just input). If the malware was such a serious issue that existed, this would've been picked up ages ago.
