I've been shopping for a amp/dac stack shelf for a while and just got a good one for peanuts. It's at Amazon and a black glass shelf that's 15" wide, but the "used very good" condition ones were $7.50 with shipping and it looks awesome. They have one left, but the other shelves also have Amazon warehouse huge discounts on most of them too (like 2/3 off). The one I got is at

For some reason their warehouse dramatically lowers the price on glass shelves like that, just look for the 15" size and that's enough to fit a stack on without hogging the whole desk. My Aune S6 (or a side by side stack) fits perfect and they're rated for 40lbs. Never been so frustrated looking for a simple shelf that's not made of plastic, but small enough to fit on a desk. This works, and so cheap!

So if anyone's been holding out waiting for a deal on an SVS sub, current prices may be the deal.

Seems like a good alternative to the Tempotec Sonata HD Pro or HIDISZ S8. It is described as having game console compatibility. While it's supposed to work with android, this message pops up when you go to buy about phone issues

The following devices exhibit compatibility issues with the Creative SXFI AMP, and are not supported: Huawei Honor 9 Lite, P8, P20 series, OPPO R9, R11s, R17, Sony Xperia XA series and XA1 series, Samsung Galaxy S10 series, according to this compatibility chart.

Interesting DSP option too! Not expensive & measured well, would be an interesting purchase/experience re the DSP, and if the DSP sucks you're still left with a decent mobile DAC/amp - very good combination of positives here.

Thanks for the heads up, grabbed a few I still needed to cover most of my stuff.

I picked up a set of their new IEM balanced cables for my Moondrop Blessing 2's.

These cables look really thick and rigid, can they even go around the ears?

Elac DBR62s in walnut are on sale on Amazon, 8% discount, not a great deal but if you were going to pick up a pair it probably cancels out sales tax. https://www.amazon.com/Elac-Debut-Reference-DBR62-Walnut/dp/B081K9NSB3/

I wonder the same thing...I may have messed up.

I don't have any iem cables from them, but the others I have are very flexible and not really thick at all for headphone cables.

Man, first the A30 and now the Elacs. I just bought both of these within the last month, but unfortunately Amazon doesn't allow price matching after you bought stuff. I'd have to return, wait for my money, and hope they're still on sale when I get it back so I can buy them again. The Loxjie's already back to retail. Could've saved $70, but I saved for months just to buy these 2 items in the first place. It feels so bad. At least the sound is good.

That is really more like a 20%+ discount. The price has increased to $700 a pair, and I suspect this is just to clear out the last few that were still under the old pricing. The price on the white ones has already gone up, and the walnut are $700 at B&H and Crutchfield already.

Look at it this way--if it had taken you a little longer to save up the money, the DBR62s would have gone up by $100. So you still did pretty well with your timing.
