Going to take the weekend off from shopping, and things change quick on the secondary market. Here's the current used deals on Amazon worth the discount.

Topping A50S headphone amplifier $82

FiiO K9Pro Amplifier/DAC
$700 ES9038Pro version
$679 AK4499 version

Topping L50 NFCA Headphone Amplifier (black) $115

Topping MX5 $254 (great replacement for a Soundblaster X7)

Topping D90SE $764 (black) $719 (silver)

Topping DX5 $233 (black) The silver one sold and went out of stock as I was typing this...it's a great price.

Hart Cables 15 percent off coupon code is KWIO

I just used it and it works, got the Hifiman touch of grey multi-kit and 3.5mm cable to match. Now I can test any amplifier that comes in without keeping a rack of test cables hanging around. I think it'll be a couple of weeks, but they have IEM cables with the same quick connect on pre-order, so it'll work with those too. Those coupon sites are usually a waste of time, but got lucky on this one.

Beware the IEM detachable cables-I ordered a pair and found them so short they strangled me when trying to use them. Too thick and fluffy, won't stay curled around my ears and just not right. Great idea-poor execution.

I'll check cable length, thanks. I had one pair where the splitter was so short it was like wearing an 18 inch necklace. Had to wear them behind me to avoid gagging..

That's good to know, thanks. I only have experience with cables for my over-ear headphones.

The current list of stuff, used condition so I try to post frequently to keep up with it (I shop for a business anyway so it's not much trouble).

SMSL PO100 AK AK4493S MQA DAC $62.99 or 15 percent coupon for a new one

Topping A30 Pro (black) Used like new $179

Topping D30 Pro (black) used $200 discontinued and new prices on ebay for these have jumped for remaining inventory.

Topping L30II $126 if you have IEM's get one of these, they are kingpin for silent noise floor.

Topping DX5 $233

A few places to mention if you want to do some bargain hunting:

Best Buy clearance center is worth checking sometimes, it's got a local search to find yours

Crutchfield has one also

Sennheiser Outlet has their warranty on stuff

Drop Refurbished has more stuff after a sale or holiday with returns, not much currently

Rtings has the stuff they do reviews on

Audio Mart has some things worth getting sometimes

Creative Labs if you need a G6 with warranty for $79 with shipping, they're back in stock

Quick update with these that just showed up:

Topping A90 (black) $299.
Used acceptable which means the box might have stickers, but every item I get in that condition is great, but the box might need some tape to fix. I have both the A90 and discrete currently and they both sound amazing. Not of a fan of the dot matrix display on the discrete I'm listening to now, personal preference I guess.

SMSL SH-9 $198
I used one for a daily driver for a month and it was really fun.

Definitive D15 pair 849 on Adorama


Seems like the market is at a stand still. Everything keeps getting cheaper and cheaper. Best Buy did the same crap

*on discontinued
