Agreed.would make much more sense to include frequency response graphs to product descriptions.. I just scroll past half of the "audiophile" products simply because there is a lack of real evidence to back up the "awesome" reviews from Billy Bob and his cousins.
Some people might argue that a frequency response graph is too technical for the typical consumer to understand.. I'd argue that any self identifying audiophile willing to spend big bucks on great sounding equipment would never shy away from adding to their understanding of audio. Without data sheets, everything is subjective and that is not how to make an informed decision. If I see a product on massdrop that interests me, the first thing I do is search out frequency response graphs, technical specs.. I couldn't care less how "cool" they look, or reviews from other end users. That stuff is just gravy...I need the meat.
Plus freq. response graphs are incredibly useful and easy to decipher once you understand their purpose. Head-Fi is an awesome resource, and should really be linked in product descriptions (if avail)..

Goodbye Drop
Recently had my headband snap on my Elex like just about everyone else. Drop tells me I'm a week out of warranty and to go ask Focal for help. Basically "Go fuck myself". After this level of customer service, I am done with Drop. Product offerings have been less and less as of late and this level of customer service is just trash. They don't want to back up their own products and want you to make repairs yourself. It's gotten to be a terrible business model that doesn't want to try and connect or care about the customer at all. Goodbye Drop. I'm done.

The right Dac/amp for Sennheiser 560s/6xx and Hifiman Sundara
Ok.. If this works, I'll just need a dac/amp for the above headphones and all I need is an optical IN on the dac to hook up to my optical out from my TV. And an optical OUT to go to my optical IN to my a/v receiver. In my head, I'll be able to use these headphones with enough power to listen to music, movies, and console games which are all hooked up to my HDMI arc inputs of my TV. If this makes any sense, could someone recommend a dac/amp that has these features that produces a minimum of 192khz/32bit with enough power to drive both the Sundara's (37ohms, low sensitivity) and the Sennheiser 560's (120-150ohms) and possibly the 6xx (300-333ohms) ? A remote control is preferred unless I'll be able to control the volume from my a/v receiver... If this will work. It'll work, right?

Highest Priced DROP Items?
Hi. New here. We're an old-line manufacturer of high-end audio (pro, mostly). Moving into the high-end consumer audio world. In y'all's opinion, what is the maximum price appropriate for a product offered on DROP? Our first consumer product will retail for around $7k. Are we out of the DROP ballpark? Tks.

Beyerdynamic 1990 pro or 6xx
I have bought thebeyerdynamic 1990 pro and I'm reading reviews still on other products. I have seen the 6xx is highly recommended and if the lower price reflects quality in sound and build. I have listened to live music as a music student for 15 years or so now and want to find something that will mimic what I hear daily, if a price bump is necessary that makes sense but if what I'm sesrching for is cheaper, thats a bonus.

Order Status
The following is a response I received today from Matthew from Community Support on my inquiry as to the status of my order of XDuoo XA-10 Dac/Amp ordered on Nov 28, 2022, with a ship date of Jan 6, 2023. Is this a way to do business 1 we have a large backlog of orders, 2 Shipping times for all orders have been pushed back ALL ORDERS 3 Our warehouse is also experiencing outages due to some orders not being delivered 4 Looking at your order I see we have no inventory 5 We do not have a shipping date for your order currently Was I ever informed about any of these issues? NO, I was not and probably many other of your customers are angry and in the same situations not being given any information about their orders being delayed and why.! This is my second order for an electronic item in the last 3 months you have not been able to deliver to me due to you not being able to get in stock and ship by your estimated date. I want my money refunded now and I will take to your CEO and to...

I know from past experience that Massdrop and head-fi have a pretty close relationship, but it would be very nice if we can get some more details of stuff you're selling on the drop page (rather than hunting for reviews). I've personally always really enjoyed the information I get on goldenears, and I typically use that as a reference (when possible, and I don't mind the terrible Google translate of the Korean site). I typically won't buy headphones unless I have some idea that I'll like the sound profile. I find many reviews too subjective and typically contain comparisons of products that I'm unfamiliar with. Without the sort of detail I'm really looking for, I'm lead to shrugging and thinking I don't to burn a few hundred dollars on a gamble . For those not familiar with goldenears here is an example from when they were still porting content from the Korean site to the English site:

What do you guys think about getting some more data on these drops?
Thanks for reading!
