Reeks of scam. Better call up Justin Weber @ampsandsound to check if that merchant is a scam. The only dealer of ampsandsound that I know of is TSAV

FYI: the true legit site: https://www.mimic-audio.com/products/mass-kobo-model-465?_pos=1&_psq=mass&_ss=e&_v=1.0

These reviewers such as Zeos and Joshua Valour have fooled me in the past saying that the Topping A90D was the best amplifier and how good it was. It turned out to be a lifeless and boring listen.

The only thing I can say is try before you buy. I 100% believe the 465 is the best headphone amplifier ever made, but only because I have tried it, not because people told me it was. I encourage everyone here to do the same.

I hope that it is in SoCal CanJam this year. Because if it lives up to the hype I'm buying it.

What's the lead time these days? 4 months or more because of a queue?

I asked mimic audio and they said 1- 2 months

Wow 17K just for headphone amp. If it could drive speaker and headphone with same authority then it would have been popular amp. 17K is too much for just a headphone amp when most move to speaker for serious listening at that price point.

Hopefully it will be there in Canjam NY.

The maker will be at Canjam NY next weekend with a 465 for demo. Good luck!

Absolutely. I’m looking forward to listening to the 100K Audio Technica Narukami system.

Very true. I’ve always thought of canjam as a way to find the correct direction to head towards and where to look deeper, not necessarily determining what your final purchase should be then and there.

Saw the Z-Review. Wish Zeos had gone ahead and removed the cover.
About MK… well it is not as if a committed designer with solid work ethics can’t achieve / out-do what MK has done.
The Chinese industrial complex should buy the whole MK line .Take ‘em apart and Xerox as much as possible; and then sell via Linsoul, Topping or SMSL guises.

Wait, what?!? Am I misunderstanding or are you suggesting that they should steal this artist’s work to undercut him?

Um…NO. Masuda San makes these by hand, and they’re fantastic. I’d love to have one, but I’d rather be without than see his work stolen.

I've only listened to it for a couple of hours but the hype is real.
