I wanted to order from Hifigo becausethe price is cheaper than in Europe and I don't have to pay customs fees. I don't understand why prices are always higher in Europe than the rest of the world

Because we pay VAT.

Because we pay VAT.

All countries apply tax, not only Europe

We have the highest VAT in the world. As an example the USA do not have VAT per se, but a sales tax that varies between 2.9% to 7.25%.

Sales tax in California is almost 10%
Just saying...

I'll take that over my 23%.

Cost of living? Europeans pay for that up front, but Americans simply borrow their way into oblivion first.

Where I live is 16%.

Denmark pay 25% vat and yet it's the happiest country in the world with best services and a sincere respect for the environment, so what's important isn't how much vat we pay but how well our politicians spend it because in the end we would benefit from it.

Let's drop the VAT discussion, and go back to DAP discussion...

Help! I've fallen down the rabbit hole and I can't get up! Before last black friday, I only had a Hidisz HD80S with Grado SR80x. Then I bought a Hiby R5ii for the black friday sale. I had no IEMs, just an old pair of Shure earbuds, so I bought Tangzu's Heyday IEMS (which I think are remarkably good for the price). Things escalated from there with Hifiman HE400SE, then Hiby RS6 followed by a used MEST MK2, then used Cayin N7, used RS2, then Hifiman Ananda Nano. Music is a huge part of my life and I've mainly used speaker setups, and early mp3 players (Rio, PJB100 (the first HD MP3 player), iPods) with cheaper earbuds. I love my Chifi Onix SP3 tube amp, so I had to get the new N3Ultra. Make it stop!

Looking forward to hearing the new toy. I think that should be it for a while. I'm quite enjoying head-fi life.

You need to check yourself into a sanitarium and get help. Just make sure to take the N7 and the MEST MK2 with you before you go.

I remember this being mentioned before, Hifigo is not Cayin's official seller. I also recall reading that some people who pre-ordered from them received the product later since official sellers get their stock in first. Plus, if something goes wrong, you can't contact Cayin for support and replacement, and instead will have to send it back to hifigo for them to deal with whoever sold them the product in the first place.

I think that should be it for one month?
