Massdrop Unlocked: CEntrance DACport Slim (exclusive) for $100
The Massdrop edition (a popular trend these days in the world of Massdrop) is currently available fully unlocked for $100 with free shipping at the members-only but free-to-join website. The offer ends in about seven days from today (with today being the blog-posting date). A total of 100 units are available in this particular offer.

CEntrance DACport Slim (Massdrop Exclusive) for $100
Members-only shopping site Massdrop continues to work with some manufacturers for exclusive products, their latest is the CEntrance DACport Slim tiny little USB DAC, offered for $100 with free shipping. A total of 500 units are available. As of the time of writing, less than 15% of them have been claimed.
Massdrop is however also creating some warranty confusion with a few other products, since multiple manufacturers have come out publicly stating that what is offered is not considered a “USA authorized” purchase (for warranty purposes). The confusion can easily be solved by Massdrop being very clear about the warranty situation, so shoppers can make informed decisions. Those who don’t want any risk, can simply avoided those products, shoppers who are comfortable with more risk, can decide by having all the facts. Rant ends 🙂
