This just in, from the Hadphonia support forum:
 
 

Posted by syaknikwa: i thought the 3g is supposed to ship at the end of November??? Rob: First batch went out this Monday. Just finishing the second batch...

 
 
So, some are making it out the door...that's good news!  Also, the Arrow info page now states "New orders will ship at the end of December 2010."

I received an email on monday stating arrow 3.0 had shipped so I am part of the first batch. I had originally received shipping notice on nov 13th for Arrow 2.2. For some reason Robert decided to wait and send me the newer version which is fine with me. It has basically been a 5 month wait as I placed my order (#2528) on july 16th. I only freaked out about the wait a couple times keeping in mind I was eventually going to receive a great amp. My friend owns one of Robert's earlier model (lyrix I believe) and it was far superior to my ibasso D2boa. I hope production speeds up and everyone waiting for their amp doesn't have too big wait. Hopefully I will have mine in a week or so!!!

 

[syaknikwa]

so the first batch is still in orders 2500's? does anyone have theirs shipped that are orders 2600's or above...

 

[Golden Monkey]

I'd just like to know how many are in each "batch", then we could at least estimate...this sucks.

 

[SoulSyde]

I just posed a similar question to Rob on his forum.  I wanted to know what he means by a "batch" and what number he's up to in the shipping process.  I will let you know the answer.
 
EDIT: ...if I get an answer. 

 

[dizzyraider]

Not sure if it is still the same, but Rob has shipped in batches of 100 at a time. At least that was how he handled 2300, 2400, and 2500 orders.

That should be the name of a thread

oh, wait a minute...it is!

All kidding aside, I hope it arrives before Christmas so you can enjoy it over the holidays.

[proedros]

Here's to hoping someone shall decide to sell his 3G version...once these finally ship.
 
If you change your mind and wanna sell ,pm me.

Well, as Papa Smurf famously stated, "Not long now, my little Smurfs": From Rob, latest post on the "delivery timetable" thread, "The next batch will cover almost all open orders. As I wrote the new generation is much easier to assemble but we still have to test them all carefully... "
 
 
 
Things are coming together nicely...all the cans are in place (except the Beyer T50p's that died after two days), my Whiplash TWag mini-to-mini came today, I have lots of FLAC files loaded up on my J3, I have six or seven different types of tips to try out on the SM3's, and now this...here's just hoping shipping to the US doesn't take like three weeks or some crap...

 

[syaknikwa]

Thanks for the updating us Golden Monkey ..... I hope that we could get our amp this month so that we can enjoy the holidays

I'm planning on purchasing  Alessandro Ms2i and I already have UE triplefi10s. I'd like to know how important it is to have a high quality amp. The Headstage Arrow seems to be the most interesting option, as it's ultra portable and can power both highly efficient and inefficient phones. However, after some research it seems that it'll cost me $315, which is more than the Alessandros (which is what I am primarily getting the amp for)... Do you guys think it's a justified purchase, I've never owned a portable amp, so I don't know how crucial a HQ amp is for the SQ of my tripleFi and Alessandro Ms2i. I'd also appreciate it if anyone would recommend similarly capable amps, which cost less.
 
In addition, I'd also like to know how the shipping service of Headstage is, I've heard of people waiting 2-3 months. I don't think I can tolerate that...
Cheers,
Leander

Well I own both MS2i and TripleFi10 so I could tell you what I think when it arrives.  As far as shipping goes he is making them one at a time for each order and testing them to his own specs so your getting a very nice piece of equipment that is worth waiting for. I recommend going and getting some factory production unit or another handmade amp that has been around long enough for there to be some laying around for sale. Otherwise just order and wait. It seems the speed has picked up considerably lately though so who knows, maybe not such a long wait.
 
On the MS2i front. I have heard them on a very high end desk amp plugged into a very high end source once and they opened up a great deal and I couldnt believe what I was hearing. Im not that confident the arrow is gonna make much difference but we shall see soon enough. They do seemed under powered when used with a Cowon S9, j3 or Samsung P3.
