I love it and am curious because I want to see what reference IEMs can do.

  Or they'll just update the DAC chip. as they did with the HA-2 to HA-2SE

Thank you. And I'd love to see the Oppo HA-1 on Massdrop.   PFKMan23

I plan on attending.

  This will be an unpopular opinion, but with how the Raganrok was handled, I think he's going to be pretty tight fisted until he's almost ready to release the thing in it's final form.

  Well played, but the fact that there's nearly a $900 price difference helps things. The m903 which what the poster aluded to would be a more equitable comparison.

  Where they immediately defective or did they break over time?  Depending on the when, this could somply be a return to the retailer.

Any details on the parking discount?  I checked the hotel website and it's $22 for self parking.  I did not realize inflation was that severe.

In a sense yes. In my prime I had a Singlepower MPX3 SE, sold it, bought a Balanced Beta 22 and I eventually sold that.  Now I'm down to a Pico amp/dac with a few headphones.  I'll admit I'm curious about a few things, but there's no compulsion to buy/try that there used to be.

Just sent my registration fee in.  I hope I can make it.

  I think you mean headphone amp and preamp. Last I checked, it wasn't a power amp.

  If those are local taxes and duties, then yes, I'm sure the distributor is passing on those costs to the consumer.

Short of a secure escrow, no.

  While I'm not the biggest fan of PayPal, people having been saying that for years, but yet Paypal is still the major player.  I'd say as long as Ebay exists and is a major player, so will Paypal (Ebay owns Paypal).

I got them earlier today.  Sorry about the late check in.

  You know he could be waiting for Black Friday to be posting the prices.  Not all retailers have prereleased their sales for Black Friday.

I'm really happy to see JH Audio offer universals for the Roxanne and will be interested to see if they offer universals on their older models as well.

Really dumb question, but any idea when  these might be released and is there a MSRP yet?

Is the $1499 the normal cost or a show/debut special?

Is RMAF still the presumed debut of the Ragnarok?

  Any idea when you might place the order for the 2014 run?

Is the silver/clear/gunmetalish color the only color option?  And if an amp was ordered today, would it be put into a queue for a 3rd run?

You could always just get another stock cable.
