23 daps??? Dude. I only have the Fiio M11 Plus ESS which is lacking in airiness and and micro details but has ;l./,a good bass presentation. The retro looks of the XM5 are just so tempting.

Iām mostly a lurker these days (kids), but just wanted to say thanks for this one. Really enjoying it so far. I had similar issues with tracking, I just did the basic preorder shipping. Pretty surprised it showed up today. It just landed in NY a day or two ago. I didnāt upgrade to 4.4.

I also have a tracking number that shows as invalid. I think my Deuce order was around number 150. No information about where it is. I contacted FF immediately upon shipping notification to inform them that the code was invalid. They replied with thanks for letting them know and said they would investigate. I didnāt hear from them for 5 days, then asked them for an update. They responded that, āTracking information can sometimes take a little time to update in the system.ā Itās been 10 daysā¦
Seems like theyāre just BSāing to cover whatever issue occurred with shipping these out. What a mess.

Iāve now got a collection of BS responses from those clowns.
That would imply the packages are movingā¦ or have been scanned, some might be, yet I think there never was a proper āfreight forwarderā involved. If a genuine competent forwarder was involved we would mostly all be receiving our packages right about now, or at least have intel.
We all paid enough money for proper tracking, yet seems very little of that is happening.
My gut tells me the vast majority of kits never left the warehouseā¦and just a few go out at a time.
If they have gone out without scansā¦fk. Here in the Philippines that literally could be 2-18 months, Iāve experienced that range, no shit.

Does the XM5 sound better than a Chord Mojo?
Please pardon my ignorance, I have zero experience of DAPs since my iPod I had back in 2008ā¦

Got a question
The ESSEX Boys.
You think the folks convicted did it?
I never heard of the story but itās wild.
Looks like they got hit by pro hitters on both sides of car.
Not a wasted shot.

For all the frustrations with ordering and shipping - I have nothing but praise for the Deuce itselfā¦
I get a good fit and seal (did change tips) and I am really enjoying how the set sounds with my sources and library. I have yet to try the IO cable and probably wonāt as I donāt hear a need for it. I mean Iām digging the Deuce just as it is. It is pretty much spot on to what I imagined it to be from Chrisās descriptions, which is why I was excited to get one.

Any drugs/gang related enviroment is still crazy. Iāve been a target myself because our bunkerbarges are a dream for the mocro-gangs who work the ports to take contraband away from the docks and ship it off for further distribution. Bunkerbarges constantly sail from ship to ship in port without anyone asking any questions.
Because I kept refusing cooperation and contacted police, I was rewarded with a severe beating and a chisel hammered through my hand.
I got of well compared to some others. Probably because I am well connected with customs, police and anti-terror cells. (I have a niece that was indoctrinated by IS and tried to blow up a trainstation. But thatās a small part of a different story. My family is weird.)

Iām super psyched to get mine, whenever they decide to arrive. As of right now itās been 13 days since I got my tracking number and no signs of movement on the tracking website.
(This is what tracking has looked like since Oct 8th. No changes)
Iām going to wait until tomorrow to email them, I think 2 weeks sounds more severe than 13 days.
But Iām planning on asking them if my tracking number is wrong, and if my order has even shipped.
Who knows, maybe I can convince them to bring it to CanJam Dallas and I can just pick it up in person.
Also thinking about asking them for an interview at CanJam for my video.

Is that a key grip or production assistant in the reflection on his left?
Was that in the movie?
