This is a buyer’s market, and the US$315 ask looks fair to slightly firm against your recent comp set: it sits above the US$282 median but well below the US$534 75th percentile. It’s not a bargain at US$315, though it’s still comfortably inside normal used territory rather than drifting into ambitious pricing.
What makes it attractive is the Darkvoice 336SE’s reputation as a warm, spacious-sounding OTL amp that pairs especially well with high-impedance dynamics and other easy loads. The inclusion of NOS RCA and Tung-Sol tubes adds real value if they’re confirmed genuine and healthy, and near-mint condition is a plus on a tube amp where cosmetic care often tracks owner care. For a buyer, the key upside is getting a known tube-rolling platform with a useful accessory package already sorted.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Drop originated as Massdrop in San Francisco in 2012, pioneering a community-driven model that aggregated enthusiast demand to source and develop exclusive products directly from manufacturers. By bypassing traditional retail chains, it built a loyal following of over 7 million members through limited-time "drops" of unique gear, earning acclaim for delivering hard-to-find items at competitive prices. The brand rebranded to Drop in 2019, expanding into its own designs like the Drop SHIFT mechanical keyboard and wireless headphones, often in collaboration with names such as Sennheiser for audiophile-grade audio.
In the hi-fi realm, Drop specialized in headphones, DACs, amplifiers, and cables, alongside mechanical keyboards and gaming peripherals, with audio as a flagship category. Its approach emphasized user feedback to refine products, yielding sought-after collabs like the Massdrop x Sennheiser line, blending accessibility with performance for enthusiasts.
Drop held a niche position as a disruptor in the mid-tier market, appealing to savvy buyers seeking value-driven, community-vetted hi-fi without high-end premiums. Acquired by Corsair in 2023, it shifted toward gaming hardware before shuttering its core operations in March 2025, marking the end of an era for direct-to-consumer audio innovation.
