For those looking for very cheap speaker amplifiers:

Parts-Express has a 48 hour sale on that includes the Dayton Audio APA-150 75w x 2 amplifier for $125 including shipping....about a $35 savings. In Amir's test the panther keeps his head. The test results seem fine to me for typical use. The last poster on the thread is not happy with the background noise level...which I can see could be a problem for desktop audio use or with highly efficient speakers if you are sensitive to hiss.

Parts Express has a buyout sale on the FX-Audio FX202A Class D amp that is rated at 40w x 2 (8 ohms) for $46.95 including $6.95 shipping. Shipping is free on orders over $50. If it tests like other cheap class D amps, it probably puts out closer to 30w x 2. It is unusual in that it has a 4 position gain switch on the bottom which theoretically means it may be better suited for desktop use with lower audible hiss. It also comes with a 24v power supply which is larger than you usually get with this kind of amp... meaning you should get close to rated power from the TDA7492PE chipset.

Monoprice (Monolith) portable DAC/amp with THX AAA is on sale. Not a great deal, only 10% off, but it's US $270 down from $300.

Amir's review of the unit is here.

Thanks for the heads up on this - I think I'm going to pick up one of those FX202As and use it to start tinkering with active crossovers. Hell I'll probably buy two of them so I'm set up to tinker with DIY 3-way designs down the road.

THEY'RE BACK!!! B Stock...
705P for 499
708P for 999

I ordered 3 705P. I figure one might be bad. I can compare to the 708P and then use them for music in a second room... or go 5.1 with 708P front channels.

This explains why they are "back ordered". I don't understand how b-stocks can be back ordered...

Their whole e-commerce system is pretty bad. Could be that's the only way for them to specify that it's going to ship in a few weeks.

If you are using an amp like the Atom, you really can't do much better than the D10 for a kick ass little headphone stack for a little cash.
