Massdrop has this unit up for sale. Looks intriguing. Anyone know anything about the sound of this absolute unit?

The Figaro 336 is the Dark Voice, there was a 337 and 339 in addition to the 339i.
They don’t seem to be generally available.
My only concern looking at it is the fact it looks a lot like 2 Dark Voices stuck together down to separate PSU’s and even power cables on the back, and volume controls on the front.
Theoretically if they use both halves of the output Triodes, it should be able to provide half the output impedance of a Dark Voice, which would be a win.

I think previous drop before the current one had an issue between the supplier and drop, so orders were canceled and refunded.

It looks like somebody…

Well ,I’m on the Figaro bandwagon again and am super anxious to grab one from DRop… can’t beat the price of that thing, not what Drop is letting them for.
