Amp/Streamer Rotel S14, Black, $999.99 ($2,499.99) at Crutchfield :
Rotel S14 (Black)
Stereo integrated amplifier with Wi-Fi, Apple AirPlay 2, Bluetooth®, and Chromecast built-in
I am thinking this "2-channel, streaming+powerAmp" is a good start in the right direction for Rotel.
Now then; I'd become a recurring buyer of their audio products; if-and-only-if they can strip-out the powerAmp section and replace it with some additional *balanced (XLR) and *HDMI2.1 Inputs/Outputs.
I'd be willing the swap-out my Rotel RSP1576 pre/proc for such a product, even if the pricing gets jacked-up to $1600.00 USD.
That is a crazy good deal.View attachment 368124

I think this can go on the euro master deals. I’m in Germany right now too, would have definitely bought it but no way to get it home
Although that's not the latest Pro version, just to let people know, the naming of SVS subs can be a bit confusing, I thought it was the Pro version at first.

I get skeptical on a lot of these deals. They always seem to be inflating prices to make it seem like you are getting a massive discount.
I got no clue if the unit is being discounted or getting a version 2. But overall for what you get it sounds reasonable price wise.
On other sites it’s 2k new, audio advice has it as well in black for 999 but silver is 2k which I find odd. So I clearly seeing this trend on going

AudioPrecision states that they have sold more 2700 series than all of the APx5xx.
This news may tank their resale value; yet could be motivational for others.

That seems odd though, if I getting this right, if you trade one 2700 you get 20% off and if you trade three you get 25%.. hmmm. I know the the big boys are expensive but trading more than one doesn’t really make sense.

Here's some good deals this week from a few different places.
DROP Mass Liquid Carbon X + SDAC DAC/Amp $199
I don't know this reseller (I work direct with the tier ones) and no indication of warranty like Hifi-College or Aoshida-US.
Topping A90D Discrete (black) used $400 from Hificollege with 1 year warranty.
I'm listening to one right now with an SMSL D-6s and it's as good as it gets.
SMSL DO300 ES9039MSPRO DAC $268
I have one of these, it's epic as a 5 volt DAC, but 1 watt into 32ohm has it's limits. I like it though since if your amplifier ever had a problem and you had to send it back, you have a backup plan to use in the meantime. Can also keep IEMs on them all the time to switch.
SABAJ A20d 2022 Version $279
I know most of the big resellers but not Hifi-Booster so don't assume a warranty on their used items, not everyone is like Aoshida-US or Hifi-College which are both solid on their warranty service like Apos.
S.M.S.L D1se 9038Pro DAC $503
It's from the SMSL Factory store. I haven't needed warranty on anything used I've bought, but research it since they don't have any policy listed for used items.
Topping L30 II $99
Hifi-College so 1 year warranty and kingpin for 10ohm IEM with the most quiet noise floor I've ever not heard.
Topping A70Pro (black) $374 from Apos with warranty

Moondrop Starfield II with warranty $82.49

Some time limited ones on Amazon
88lb Max Vesa wall mount for TV or monitors $12.49
Powered USB Hub, Aiibe 8-Port $11.99
GIGABYTE G34WQC A 34" 144Hz Ultra-Wide Curved Monitor $289 (new)
I just ordered one after a month of research, should be a good one.
Woot has more of the Bumblebee II microphones for $19.99 new with free shipping.
I got my neice the Beyerdynamic Fox and the one I use is just as good. Great sound, but doesn't come with a Pop filter but the direction/spread is adjustable to only pick up noise from in front of it. It would cost that much just to mail the huge box they come in.
Comica BoomX-D2 wireless mic comes with two transmitters and one receiver $63 free shipping (new)
eBay things of interest: Disclaimer these aren't my listings to avoid any conflict of interest. I use the same handle there as here. If it's a seller I've bought from before I'll mention how it went.
Benchmark HPA4 Headphone Amplifier
Current bid is $1,000 (which is mine) if you really want it, PM me and I'll call off more bidding. I'd like to try one, but not on a mission to get this at any price 
SMSL H300 $189 is the starting bid, but they posted it last week and it closed without the $199 min so they dropped it down. Odds are you can get it for the $189. I've had one and they do get hot on the bottom center so putting it on taller feet or a ventilated monitor riser is a must. It's even warmer on the bottom than the hotspot I measured on the Topping A30Pro. If you have a cat they will love you for it though as a cat bed.

Polk Reserve 100 (bookshelf pair w/ 5.25") for $400 at Woot
Quirky Special: Blue Ella Planar Powered Wired Closed Over Ear Headphones are $100 at Woot, down from their 2017 original $700 price.
Blue (now Logitech) released a series of dynamic headphones with odd headband mechanisms and built in amps in the mid 2010s. This Ella was their top of the line model featuring planar magnetic drivers. Generally good reviews, with PC magazine rating the Ella Outstanding/Editor's choice. Very heavy with the look of an S&M/Torture device. $100 is the cheapest I have seen.
