Is it the cost of postage? Is it that we don't deserve it? It's this attitude that puts me off dealing with certain sellers in the future. I wouldn't mind if Head-Direct were an American company - obviously then I'd expect them to only ship to those who live in the ConUS. However, we are talking about a company in the orient with customers worldwide. I've ordered from Head Direct before, and now I'm not sure I will again.
If we do it worldwide, I want to know if you guys want to pay $50 shipping?

I think thats a fair offer, and I thank you for replying to my post. I'm sorry if the tone was a bit harsh.
Mind you, someone outside the USA / Canada would have to win it first.
Thanks

I would love to own a desktop amp like this one.
I would write a review for sure, which would pretty much be a comparison against all my other gear. After that I would definitely be upgrading my source/DAC right away to make justice to this beautiful desktop amp!

man I think this would end up costing me a lot after upgrading everything else. But maybe a few tax returns could handle that.
