It's back on Massdrop. $359 There sure are a lot of people reporting dead units of this and the D50.

I'm strongly considering joining this but the lack of warranty is concerning.
Am I crazy or am I not seeing "all" these dead units in the reviews?
There aren't plenty but there are a handful if you look enough. Here's one for the DX7s for example:
"NO WARRANTY AFTER 30 DAYS:
Mine stopped working after about 60 days.

Hi Ben,
Thanks for reaching out to Massdrop Community Support, this is Hilary and I am happy to help you today! I am very sorry for my delayed response. I'm sorry to hear your having problems with your Topping.
It looks like this didn't have an included warranty. For products that do not have an included manufacturer's warranty, members have 30 days from the date of delivery to report an issue. For products that include a manufacturer's warranty, members must report an issue within the stated warranty period.
After reviewing your transaction, it appears that the time-frame for reporting an issue has passed, which means we are not able to provide a replacement or facilitate a return.
Thank you for your understanding of this policy. If we can help you with anything else in the future, please contact us.
Best Regards,Hilary"
And another for the D50:
"Great DAC, Great sound. Competes head-to-head with DACs 5-10x the price in terms of sound quality.
Problem: It died 5 months after receiving it. No warranty from either Massdrop or Topping.
The problem is in the power supply chain. It now wants to draw way too much current no matter what supply I try.
Disappointing. Next time I will not purchase from Massdrop without a warranty."
