So if Hifigo is not an authorised dealer, where do they get their stock from then?

A) Out of the back door or
B) An authorised dealer is selling stock to them and iBasso is turning a blind eye

There must be a lot of margin in there if an authorized dealer is selling to an unauthorized dealer who is *himself* selling at below (or way below) regular authorized dealers’ prices.

iBasso, unlike other chi-fi brands have authorized resellers across the globe. Then why buy from shady sites like Hifigo ? If you read some of the posts on this forum on how difficult it is to return/replace items purchased from there, you wouldn’t buy either.

I didn’t suggest buying from “shady sites.”

I was only pointing out several things. First, looks like lots of profit margins in there. Second, how about *more* than a one year warranty from Ibasso when buying from an *authorized* dealer.

All HeadFi stuff have a high margin.
There‘s a good reason why people stick to their preferred dealer/reseller for every new purchase

HIFIGo basically stocks everything but isn’t an authorised dealer for anything, that’s why prices, same exactly as buying from Ali.

On another note, having owned DX240 and currently owning Elite, id say Elite is better from memory so take with a pinch of salt, but obviously for tuning sakes size isn’t the biggest issue anymore?
Id exepect 260 to be brilliant but id wait for some feedback

May not be better sounding on full size headphones. The DX240 with Amp8 is a lot more powerful, which should allow it to drive harder to drive headphones better.

Because most people would be totally justified in thinking that Hifigo are an authorised dealer.

So why should the customer then be penalised by warranty restrictions when they have purchased an iBasso product in good faith?

If Hifigo is a "Shady Site" as you state then why is iBasso allowing their authorised dealers to supply them potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars of stock every year?

Based on your logic, it would then be easy for the customer to form an opinion that a "Shady Site" is dealing directly or indirectly with a Shady Manufacturer.

Can you see where reputable damage starts to manifest itself if iBasso chooses to do nothing to prevent these activities continuing?

First iBasso would need to find out which of its dealers are wholesaling to Hifigo.

It would be very easy for iBasso to purchase one of their products from Hifigo using a mystery shopper and then trace the serial number back to the supplying authorised dealer

I think you are right.

You're assuming iBasso isn't aware of how HiFiGo is being supplied, of course.

No, I am assuming that iBasso are fully aware and prioritising sales and profits ahead of looking after the best interests of their customers.

Hence the warranty restrictions that are being imposed on customers who haven't purchased their product through an authorised dealer.

Which, as I pointed out before, actually doesn't work, certainly in New York State, likely in many other states, and probably many other countries.
