Ugh, this whole thing is so strange.
I posted in a thread the OP put in Summit-Fi as well, regarding a vaguely similar personal experience I had when I ordered my DAC1. Long story short, I had ordered a used DAC1 and received a brand new DAC1 USB instead - so I made a brief post about the event, contacted the seller, and he let me keep it with his blessing.
But that's where the similarity stops. I'm most confused by the video upload (why does everything need to be a video upload?), this gigantic thread, the for sale posting, the thread asking how well an E10 can drive the HE-6, the part where he actually dissected the headphones and wondered whether or not he should remove tape in them, etc - all of it combined makes one really strange tapestry. It's one thing to get a mistakenly upgraded order, make a thread saying it's neat, contact the seller and then hang tight and come to an agreement with the seller. It's *completely* different to take the things apart and list them for sale and start talking about how the difference is going to be paying your bills -- all before you've heard back from the seller.
I know you're excited about the unexpected hot-arrival, but you can't let it get to your head!
That's where I sit on this issue. Be good to HifiMan. They're good people.
What he said! ^^
. This thread has played out, and frankly I am disgusted by the moral fiber of a great deal of participants in this thread.
