Which setting uses the most direct path - is it Bright since it doesn't engage any jumpers?

Sorry, it's not you on the consignment page. You'll get an email when it is.

No, it actually is me. They just emailed me right now about it. They probably closed shop yesterday before they could send out all the emails. It's a pretty big relief to know that the one shipping is actually mine and not someone with my first name who ordered around the same time as me. Here's hoping I get to listen to it before leaving for the weekend.

Is EMS that slow to update their tracking info?
Has anyone received any info on their tracking number? I've been waiting for mine. Cherry informed that it was being shipped the 5th because the express was working that day.
Does anyone know what the express is?

Express means EMS express service.

my DHL number still doesn't show anything. That's strange. Last time they sent me a number it was already showing that it arrived in OH.

Does your Sun V2 look like the OPA in the center of Curra's pic below? The "Sun V2" I received with my Compass has similiar components, but does not have the glowing diodes in the middle. The middle diodes on mine are more like a block "C" shape with wire legs, but no bulb-like lighted/glowing portion at all....

MINE SHIPPED TODAY! YIPPEE!

I'm pretty screwing excited, I've never had a full-sized amp or DAC before, and I have two big 250 ohm pairs of headphones sitting on my desk just begging for an amp.

Mine is the same as yours - glass sealed diodes, not LEDs.

Where is the webpage people like doping panda are seeing the orders?

I know it will be a while since I ordered mine last friday.... Trying to be patient - can't wait to see what I am missing since I'd just been running my HD580s off my Soundblaster Audigy 2 platinum EX with no amp.

Here's the link to the A-GD consignment/delivery page: н¨ÍøÒ³ 1

I received the tracking numbers(DHL in my case) from Cherry via email after my delivery info was posted on the A-GD page.

Like many other people, when it came to actual shipment tracking my DHL status page didn't update after leaving Hong Kong until I signed for it here in the USA. That's DHL's issue, not Audio-gd, and it was really no issue at all. By most accounts the gear is getting delivered in a very timely manner.

Thanks for the info, that's interesting. Does anyone know when/why the Sun V2 changed? I'm not going to change the top of the unit, I don't care about the bling factor. I'm just curious if there are sonic differences to the original Sun V2...

I rec'd an email that mine shipped April 29th via EMS. Per the tracking it arrived in Vancouver today. You can also check on Canada Post's website.

About how long does it take after payment before the compass ships?? I see my name and country on the consignment page, but i don't think its me since i haven't received any email yet. I ordered mine on April 25.

It should be about two weeks. If you ordered on the 25th, it could very well be you. I would just email audio-gd to see if that Compass is yours. I didn't receive confirmation that my Compass shipped until I asked them about it.

Man something is wrong with DHL this time. I remember when compasses were shipping on monday, people would get their compasses on thursday or friday. Right now all the tracking info says is shipment acknowledged. It hasn't even left anything!
