A friend of mine @toxicdrift  who  bought a Cozoy Astrapi  Portable DAC Amplifier is arranging a tour for the nifty little DAC and I will be helping him with the same . If you're in India, are a 100+ Head-Fi'er or higher, and would like a chance to try out the product , please reply to this thread with the following:
 
- Your location (city and State): 
- Headphones / IEMs you own: 
- Music sources (DAPs, phones) you own: 
- Portable amplifiers you own: (if any)
-Reviews on head-fi if any : ( not necessary )
 
Initially, 5-6 applicants will be selected. You will not be required to write a formal review of the product ( though you are most welcome to write one), but would be helpful for other members as well if you will at least provide your feedback and experience of the product in the impressions thread.
 
 
Rules:
 
  • Tour participants will be able to keep the unit for 6 nights, and will forward it to the next participant on the 7th day after receiving it (so if you receive it on a Tuesday, you ship it the following Tuesday).
  • ​The product will be shipped with the original box and accessories. Please do not lose anything from the package. You should be able to pack it well in a sturdy box with good enough packaging (which may come with the product you receive) and also ship it using a reputed Transportation service with tracking .
  • If you're in the same city as the next participant you can meet to do a handover if you like. Please pass on the packaging as well.
  • When you receive the product , please mention in this thread.
  • If you are the next person on the tour, please PM your contact details to the person before you as soon as you see they've received the product (that way they have your info well ahead of having to ship it to you when it's your turn). This will help avoid unreasonable delays and keep the tour on schedule.
  • When your week is over, please ship the product to the next participant WITH TRACKING. Please provide tracking details to the person you ship it to as well as keep me or @toxicdrift in the loop.
  • If you would like to post a review, post it on the review page here (http://www.head-fi.org/products/cozoy-astrapi ) and link it in thread. If you don't wish to do a formal review, some impressions on the impressions thread would be appreciated
  • The last person on the tour will ship the Astrapi back to me, unless further tour participants are added.
 
 
 
Will welcome entries till 30th of June or until the tour unit arrives , whichever is earlier .  Since we do not have a official distributor/ reseller in India yet  , we might consider a Group Order for the product if enough people like it and are interested in buying it at a discounted price.

My best wishes. Even though I don't qualify it gives me as a audio enthusiast much pleasure to see such efforts made in India. We seldom see audiophile grade audio equipments officially here. Kudos for your efforts guys.
