Shipping info updated - thank you.

TEAC UD-301 Headphone AMP / DAC I'm the original owner having purchased it new from Crutchfield. I had been using it in my office at work on occasion. At the beginning covid I switched to working from home and haven't used it since as I already had a setup there. Official specs are posted here...

At the time of this writing, looks like they have units in stock and a 10% off sale putting them at $3599.99 https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=37887

I'm looking forward to "Blossoms Shanghai" when / if it comes out later this year.

@JohnYang1997 So just in case I missed a reply upthread, does Topping have any interest / plans to introduce an AVP?

Denon was poised to release a more budget friendly AVP shortly after the AVP-A1HDCI but killed it just before release unfortunately: https://www.avforums.com/threads/new-denon-pre-pro-avp-cix-based-on-avr-4310.1038205/

Lol

Can't say they are the worst movies ever but when I think about really bad movies I've seen, these two usually come to mind: Freejack After Earth Big budgets, famous actors, really bad results...

I have a 30 year old National rice cooker (SR-GE10N) that's still going strong. More recently, I bought a newer model for my mother a couple years ago - a made in Japan model from Tiger that seems to be doing well.

Yes, most of the Etymotic headphones had consistent "hidden" pricing at Adorama when they were carrying the brand IIRC.

Now that Etymotic is no longer carried by Adorama, where is a good place to find them at "favorable" prices?

The box sets that King Crimson have been releasing have been worthwhile IMHO. For me it's a tossup between the "Starless" or "Road to Red" boxes. I also like that they offered some of the box material as standalone content.

Open Your Eyes from 1997 This was later remade as Vanilla Sky with Tom Cruise in 2001

Assuming that the HTP-1 was intended as a flagship model, I was hoping that at some point a more stripped down version would be introduced (fewer channels, etc) at a lower price point. With this current info, that seems rather unlikely. Too bad for me.

Looks like Topping has moved back to AKM for the E30 series: https://shenzhenaudio.com/collections/decoder-dac/products/topping-e30-ii-dual-ak4493s-decoder-dac-with-remote-control-hi-res-decoder
