I saw that too, but it isn't reflected on his "Shipping Page". Probably just hasn't gotten around to updating it yet. I ordered mine early March, so hopefully I am in this first batch!

Could I please have the link to the shipping page?
I just ordered to today + using EMS, so I'll be playing the waiting game.

Shipping today seems to have been the batch orders. (See the shipping page.) So, unless you happen to live in Malaysia or Singapore, that's probably not you. Sorry. But if you think progress is slow, just watch the number of Compasses appearing on the shipping page in the coming week and you will know why things are taking a bit of time.

I guess waiting for you should be less long than for previous people who ordered. I'm amazed to see that they even plan to ship 4 days after ordering for every Compass ordered after April 10.

I'm sort of curious what the final tally will be. Considering almost all the US press probably comes from this Site it'll be an interesting measure of how much power head-fi has over the market in general.

Seems like the first batch's units went mostly to VR-Zone forums MO as expected.

Ordered my piece on 11 - 12th March, can't wait for it. Maybe I'll write some impressions (with my bad English skills) how it performs with my music taste, as there don't seem to be many junglists/technoheads/oldskool trancecrackers and IDM or ambient listeners... at least within those who ordered Compass, I guess.

If I'm not mistaken, just two days a week. So the first batch should go in a little over 24 hours.

It already did. Some 24 of them.

Expecting mine to be shipping in a week or so

FYI for US folks: if this thing doesn't make it past customs, I peeked in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule and found that the likely charge for import tariff is 4.9%. Apparently there is some other user fee that can be assessed as well that I think would be a flat $5-$9.

Shouldn't this thread be renamed to something like "Audio-gd Compass Discussion" or something now...

Have yet to see this happen with anything I've ordered from China (5 or 6 packages in the last year or so), just for the record.

WOW a balanced C2C that would be very cool. Kingwa is amazing, I cant believe how open he is to these ideas!

As far as customs goes, ive gotten to hdam orders from audio gd with no problem except one order came though LA, then went to New Jersey, then showed up in oregon a week later!

Also my roommates compass came with no hitch.

Hopefully mine will come no problem.

I purchased Feb 22nd. Hope I am in the first batch as well. I want to get this thing burned in quickly to see if I should order another for the office before the promo price is over.

Do you think I could get Kingwa to make a custom one with 2-3 toslink inputs? I want to use this bad boy for blu-ray, DVD, Airport Express...

Ok, FAQ and 1st post updated. I've started a thread for discussion of the Phoenix balanced HP amp here.
