Aliexpress Anniversary Seasonal Sale Starts: Mar 18, 03:00 EST until 3/27
This one has a lot of discounts on audio equipment already marked down, but prices and coupons not good until Mar 18th
Login with the app to clip sale coupons which are:
$5 over $39
$10 over $79
$20 over $159
$40 over $299
$80 over $499
Stack any cash back credit card on top of it like:
Capitol one 3 percent cashback on Aliexpress, or PayPal MasterCard via PayPal
Either will double warranty another year.
This is a yearly sale, the next is
June 12th Summer Sale
Brand Shopping Week (August 18-21)
Then Singles day November 11
Black Friday Nov 20th
Here's a couple I'm looking at as an example:
SMSL D-6s $169.99 sale price
SMSL H300 Headphone Amplifier
$260 sale price
Capitol one 3 percent cashback or PayPal MasterCard via PayPal
Either will double warranty another year.
Both qualify for the $40 off coupon
Then 3 percent cash back
2 year warranty with doubling the factory 1 year
Shop around the stores and check their policies, I'd recommend getting SMSL stuff directly from their store, or the Shenzhenaudio Store is another huge place I've had good results with.
Capitol One currently also has:
Aliexpress 3%
Walmart 5%
Adorama 4%
Newegg 3%
eBay 4%
Some current good deals are:
Topping E70 Velvet AK4499EX DAC $359 used w 1 year warranty -black
SMSL DO300EX $304 used w warranty.
I just got one and the sound quality is fantastic, but 1 watt into 32 ohm means the power isn't unlimited.
SMSL DO400 Full Balanced Headphone Amplifier DAC $375 used w warranty
I have one of these coming next week, can report on it when it comes in.
TOPPING D10 Balanced DAC $90 used w warranty
Topping A90 Discrete NFCA Headphone Amplifier (silver) $400 used with 1 year Hifi-College warranty
I've had great experienced with Hifi-College for their warranty, can't say much about Aoshida-US (if it's used and shipped directly from them it'll be fine, if it's shipped by Amazon, don't get your hopes up).
