Same thought as you - I have ordered mine (titanium) and it should be delivered on Wednesday. Currently I have a nice Aune DAP but without Tidal or Spotify option. Local price is 12990 CZK, that is about 480 EUR or 510 USD (we have 2y warranty period given by law).   Quote:

I am fresh X10 owner and I think that price/value ratio is great. I also experienced freezing on some albums. I have updated firmware to 1.1 and at the same time resized album covers for those freezing ones as I noticed that it in all cases it was quite a large jpeg (even 10MB in some cases)...

I guess that Tidal offline content can be played with Tidal app only in Android mode and not in Pure Music mode?   Quote:

Please can anyone help - is line out DAC only output or DAC + amplification? Respectively is it possible to use HPA-3U as DAC only?

I just got used HPA-1 from ebay. To my surprise when I open it I have noticed that condensators are scratched:         Any thoughts please? Is the production quality so poor?

Thank you for the link but the cable was heavily wrinkled all over on several places, not only just above Y split.   Quote:

Anyone experiencing quality issues? My first pair had wrinkled cables making it cable at one side of the headphones ca 1cm shorter (or the one on the other side 1cm longer:-) I have communicate it with Massdrop and quickly agree on replacement. I must say that Massdrop customer support is...

Matrix M-Stage HPA-3U as both DAC and amp.   I will try to put Gold Note DAC 7 in front of it over the weekend.

Auction started from 1 USD, it is the market that determined the price..   Quote:

Wow first one sold yesterday on ebay for 600 USD!
