Just a quick update for everyone with regards to the contents of the explorer packaging, tidal codes and t shirts.

Inside the Box:

As you know, as part of the IndieGoGo campaign you are all receiving a complimentary Leather Case and Charging Dock. Unfortunately the supplies for these did not arrive in time to go out with your explorer, so we will be shipping it to you separately at a later date. You should expect to receive them within the month

Tidal Codes:

I will be working on sending everyone their TIDAL codes over the next week and will do my best to make it happen as quickly as possible!

T Shirts:

I will be shipping your shirts directly from the US starting next week, so stay tuned for tracking info.

Tracking Numbers for Explorer:

I will be sending out tracking information as I receive it from DHL, the timing of which is beyond my control. Let's hope they are quick!

Great news fellas!!! I haven't used my Finders for yonk in anticipation for their perfect pairing with my Explorer! Look forward to this arriving down here in Australia, it's also good timing as my trusty Sony NWZ-A15 is on it's last legs!

What the heck is going on here? Deleted posts and blank quote replies? This is the official launch? I sure hope not.

@dlayman , what deleted posts and blank replies? I'm not seeing either of those anywhere. Anyone else??

I don't see deleted posts. But I think the reply to @henricks is what he's referring to.

Yeah, I'm not really sure! To answer his question, though, no, this is not the launch, only the initial delivery to Indiegogo backers Launch will likely be sometime in May or June, and we will roll out the fanfare for it

Has anyone actually received their Explorer? First impressions?

 

[TJY95]

Got mine few hours ago!

 

[vrapan]

So have you received tracking numbers?

 

[Jackpot77]

And so the long wait begins! I'm estimating I'll be in the third batch at least, so looking forward to hearing some initial impressions while the weeks roll on until mine makes it off the production line. Helps pass the time!

China to Uk in 3 days including the weekend ... Unbelievable thank you very much Echobox! - and no customs charges either! Thoroughly impressed with the speed though.

Awesome! Probably to early to comment on sound, but how does the build and UI seem out of the box?

It has arrived. I've put some initial impressions over here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/816464/echobox-audio-explorer-impressions-and-discussion-thread.
 
Some pretty pictures, too. This thing kills with HD600. Solid. Clear sound, some UI wonkiness, I'll be communicating to Sam so they can get to work getting it completely polished. I can confirm that USB OTG 32GB read with no problem. Library scan was a bit slow, especially after the lightning in a bottle M1S and i5. Be patient. I have a feeling that the amp circuit will improve further with some time.
