I Miss Pro Audio
I don't want a set of fancy earbuds or a new DAC. I miss the musical instruments, microphones, effects pedals, and super flat sounding monitors and headphones. I know Pro Audio and Audiophile were supposed to have merged, but it seems like its just Audiophile. I don't need a bluetooth amp with ornamental 12AX7 tubes. I want a Volca FM, or maybe an awesome multi tier keyboard stand to organize my home studio. Please bring back Pro Audio.

It's been nearly a year since an instrument was sold on here. I think I may cancel my membership.

While I am interested in headphones and DACs, it would nice to see more drops focused at making music, such as effects pedals. Personally I wouln't buy a guitar that I have never played before since they can vary so much even with in a single model, but I would have no issue buying a synth or a keyboard from massdrop. Also if this is supposed to be "audiophile" they should do more speaker amps, CD players, passive speakers and stuff like that.

See, that's why I had suggested to just call it "Audio". As soon as you use the audiophile tag, it targets to a very, very specific market. One that does not include keyboard stands or mixing boards.

I bought a Novation Mininova on here, and there were enough people for that. Bring back the synths. There are a lot of us that want them.

I was actually wondering about this today, and I wasn't even around for Pro Audio's existence. I'm about to get in the market for higher quality upgrades of some aging karaoke gear. It would be great if I could lean on Massdrop for deals for solid PA equipment, or even more deals on serious stage microphones.

inorite? Pretty much everyone likes music... I don't get why more people aren't involved in *making* it.
Protip: You don't have to be *good*! You don't even have to let anyone else hear!
Seriously, the only way you get to be good is to start out bad and do it, do it, do it. And you don't have to have aspirations to become a famous performer--or even a working recording artist--whether it's noodling around on a guitar, programming a synth, or mixing & blending your favorite tracks on the decks, playing with music tickles your brain in a special way. Everyone should do it!

Canadian Massdrop.ca
I am tired of import taxes every time I participate in a drop. I don't mind paying the actual price of products in USD even with the Canadian dollar doing so bad. I was wondering if there is any chance of a Canadian branch ever opening up so drops can be mailed quicker and import taxes wouldn't apply. I know there are a lot of Canadian customers who would appreciate this as well. Something similar to what Amazon.ca does.
*BTW Check out The Next Best Thing Studio on youtube. Do me a favor and support a fellow Canadian ;)* http://Youtube.com/nextbestthingstudio

THX AAA Speaker Amp?
The THX AAA 789 headphone amp seems to be a big success thus far, but has there been any thought about developing a speaker amp using the same technology for Massdrop?
Benchmark has the AHB2 that uses the THX AAA tech in a speaker amp, and it’s received rave reviews, but it’s pretty dang expensive.
Any chance on a Massdrop collaboration or design that could offer that kind of performance for a more wallet-friendly price?

Massdrop Version of Sennheiser HD 25?
Has anyone at Massdrop thought about creating a collaborative version of the Sennheiser HD 25? Team members could confect a dark blue plastic model, or finesse and fine-tune the HD 25 Aluminum (not the Amperior; I'm talking about the proper HD 25 with fully detachable cable, etc.).
Comparison review king |Joker| of TheHeadphoneList gives the HD 25-1 his highest rating (http://theheadphonelist.com/headphone-review/sennheiser-hd25-1-ii/). I once spoke with him about his background as an audio engineer because I'm an old-time studio musician who has found that the HD 25-1 might be the only DJ headphone that can be used in studios for basics and overdubs. |Joker| seemed to agree.
I'm always recommending versions of the HD 25 to friends. It would be nice if I could bring those friends to Massdrop on the strength of a special edition with a reasonable price.

Best Audiophile Headphone for Gaming?
Hi, I'm by no means an audiophile but would like to treat my self to a premium pair of headphones. I will be using them predominantly for gaming and casually listening to music (top 40/hip hop). I'd like the headphones to be able to locate footsteps whilst having a decent bass. I've heard great things about the DT1990 Pro and HD660s which fit my budget of around $600.

Music source?
This is going to sound dumb, but I recently bought the Fiio FX1221 without knowing much about it, on a whim I guess, and don't know what to do or where to go to get music. I am used to the iPhone and iTunes, have bought quite a bit but don't think that'll be able to download to the new unit. Can someone point to a download source where I can get some tunes for free? My tastes tend to be old rock and newer country, so I don't need the latest pop or metal. Thanks to anyone that can offer some help.

Topping DX3 Pro
Opened the package and found the AC adapter has EU plug not for US market. Unable to test the device before finding an AC adapter. Have never seen a careless manufacturer like this before. Wonder what inside looks like.
