Very impressive stuff. Thanks for posting this.
As a wearer of (open-fit, non-custom) high-end, micro-Behind-The-Ear, Receiver-In-Canal hearing aids (aka micro-BTE RIC), it would be great to marry the amazing audio quality of IEMs, the best of hearing aids (durability, battery duration, very fine-tuned programming (gain and frequency)), and the convenience of a conductive microphone for phone calls.
These technologies exist for 2 out of the 3 but not all three yet.
I can't imagine such a device is all that far off given the technology that exists today. Alas, the creators of the individual technologies don't generally overlap, but having such a device would be awesome for those of us who have hearing loss, really enjoy good music and need to talk on the phone.
Soon, soon.
And folks such as Kathy Peck will be very busy.
Cheers.

Some day I'm going to get some nicer in-ear monitors. Interesting to see the process.

Headphone advice
Advice for a relative newbie. I’ve been striking out with the magical combination of comfort, ease-of-use, quality sound, and within budget. Seeking advice on my next move for satisfying headphones. I listen mainly through my MacBook Pro or iPhone. Sennheiser 598 have been pretty good but the MBP 3.5mm jack a on the right whereas the headphones plug in on the left. The cable drives me nuts. I then tried Etymotic E3XR in-ear. Gorgeous clarity but I dislike sticking them deep in my ears. Recently, I tried Sennheiser 550-II wireless. The freedom is just the ticket but the sound was anemic. Is there a good over-ear wireless solution (with big ear cups to accommodate glasses) or should I look for a more liveable wired solution? thanks.

High frequency response
When a human can only listen between 20 to 20,000khz. Why do audiophiles have frequencies lower than 20 n higher than 20,000khz?

Another Drop HYBRID Tube amp PLEASE
I believe MASSDROP X ALEX CAVALLI TUBE HYBRID AMP was nice step for Drop and tube amps. I wish drop would make another tube amp not just bring back drop cth back. The reason is cth back single tube is not enough as well not enough output and input selection. The next Drop hybrid tube amp should 2-4 tubes and have both rca inputs and balanced xlr inputs as well as rca and balance outputs. Lastly the this Drop hybrid tube amp should have pre rca and balanced xlr outputs. An amp designed like this work nicely with amps/dacs you offer as well leave plenty of Drop dac/amp stack combinations. Thanks again Drop I hope next year we will get more Drop exclusive amp/dac offerings.

Order shipment problem that nobody it caring my support request at Drop
I ordered a headphone 4 weeks ago. Shipment is waiting at Germany to be send to Turkey for 3 weeks. I'm sending customer request forms for help from Drop but it looks like nobody is checking it or not caring, getting no response from Drop. Any idea to get their customer support's attention?

Readying the impression putty:
I wanna take a moment to thank Kathy for making everyone feel at ease and coming all the way to our office to hang out for awhile. Kathy is an amazing woman who has accomplished so much. Take a moment to read her profile piece if you haven't already (https://www.massdrop.com/talk/56/music-profile-kathy-peck-the-h-e-a-r-organization). What was your experience like when you got your first impressions made? If you haven't had them made yet is there anything holding you back (besides financial reasons)?
