Managed to order one after one hour of clicking.
Congrats, I got in too. I received the confirmation email 3 minutes after drop started so should be below #500, hopefully...
Managed to get one. Didn't know I couldn't cancel once the drop has ended. Thought I had a week to decide. Is it easy to sell this on carousell?
Doubt so. Once ppl know abt the 200 usd price range, ppl will camp for the next drop. Unless your set is within the 500 unit and there are "collectors" out there.
I got offer of USD300 excluding shipping to buyer if my set was the numbered #500 and below
I got one too. X-fi sound card good enough to drive this? Or should I get a cheap and good amp for US$100?

Thanks. I'm thinking of getting the fiio e17k. Is it good enough?X-fi should be good enough but may not push HD6XX performance all the way. Have a look at this video and note the part he touches on DACs and Amps.
E17k definately not enough to power this adequately. Actually nothing portable will power this.
You should be looking at a desktop amp for this purpose. You can get the E17k to play this loud but that does not guaranty it sounding good.
hmm ok. i read on head-fi that they are just enough to power it. what about the schiit magni amp? is the DAC really necessary if my source is from an x-fi sound card? don't think i got the budget to add in the schiit modi. my music files are just mp3, which arent that high quality to begin with.
