Hi all, would appreciate your wisdom & experience.
Looking to upgrade from TT2 to Dave and came across this site:
http://diyhifiaudiophile.com/home/4...eadphone-amp.html?search_query=dave&results=3

Can this price possibly be legit or am I naive for even asking? Anyone from @ChordElectronics here?

Haven't found anything negative about them online, but when Googling their address, about 5 "fishy" (porn, anima) sites come up.
Also, I have contacted them and received professionally written replies (specifying total with shipping and insurance to my country), again, with their website and address in the signature.

Love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

I just noticed that they located in my country. Never heard about this store, let me check to the chord distributor here.

I registered and went through the shopping flow and they only sell to USA? Weird, why not USA plus local market at least?

Definitely weird and fishy, their new unit of Audeze flagships are 50% off as well.

This site is likely fake. I had a family member fall for one of these. If you go through with your order, they'll send you something totally useless (like seeds in a packet) just to show that they sent something to you via the tracking number. Then you spend months with your payment method trying to recover your money. Just beware.

And their site says they are in jakarta.

no one should be wasting time on this.

The sad truth is that one day people WILL genuinely be writing this, without trying to scam you. Imagine your grandchildren saying "my grandpa died and forgot to write down his password from his BTC wallet, need a security expert to crack it"

Or it’s in his iphone and I can’t unlock it - even if i open his eyelids to activate the face recognition.

Dear Mr Tim Cook,
please help

Ps let’s help grandpa keeps the password as password1234 and his phone lock as 1234
(After we set up the iPad for him for FaceTime calls with him due to Covid lockdowns)

Here's a pic showing how large the DC4 is in comparison to my other equipment

I feel like I am close to getting to my end-game. Maybe
(Yes, I definitely need a new rack )

You just need a Hifiman EF1000 now for your Susvara's !

This site is likely fake.

Many years ago "we" had a dealer (not audio products) whose website was scraped and recreated, including an ecomm workflow.

You had to look carefully to see the URLs and redirects. They too offered products at crazy prices.

If they offered pricing at closer-to-reality pricing, you would think the scam would be more successful, but that is not the customer they are targeting.

They don't even need to send you a packet of seeds, they just want your info to sell. That is likely their actual product.

Official distributor Chord Indonesia confirmed this one most probably a scam. At least for all Chord products are not from them as they never supply to this store.

come on now, you know there is no such thing as end game....only until the next new thing comes along

And or you have run out of money !

 

[jlbrach]

yes there is always that

I find my Dave completely underwhelming as a headphone amplifier. There are far better options at much lower prices.

It works quite well with Meze Empyrean and that’s all that really matters to me at the moment. I’m not really looking to drive super power hungry headphones with it.

 

[jlbrach]

there are certainly better options as a stand alone amp but few if any as a dac/amp combo..other than a handful of hard to drive HP's the dave will drive most HP's quite well
