Hello, hope all is well with everyone. Also hoping there is some better visibility now regarding the delivery delay of the X16. Can one of you please provide us with an update as to when we can expect them to start shipping again? Thank you. (I purchased one the day this review was released and am eagerly waiting)

If mqa really asked you no to repost this. Please don't. Especially because it does not contain any info on the topic we are really interested in: a shipping date ;)

The latest reply from MQA "X16- The device is waiting for our listening test. This will now not take place until the new year, as our listening team have all started their Christmas break already. This will be one of the first devices to be tested in the new year, and I will keep you updated on this."

I'm very sorry to inform you that the shipment can only be made after Christmas. Sorry for keeping everyone waiting!

Is that the final step in the certification process?
