Arrived yesterday, and I gotta say WOW! Haven't been here since the reunification, and I've missed it

Can any recommend any good places to shop (in general)?

Just go to Mong Kok district and you're set.

Shops are everywhere, but what in particular do you have in mind? Are you more of a luxury shopper or a bargain hunter?

2 in Yau Shing Centre, 1 in Fa Yuen Building

by the way, I don't recommend Mingo, it's too expensive

Well I plan on trying to find myself a zhaolu DAC somewhere on apliu street. I'm actually mostly set with the headphones I have (770's are going to get darthed eventually, and all of them will be recabled to balanced

) Though if I can find a good deal on a headphone I won't be afraid to pull the trigger.

I know this is somewhat OT for this forum, but where are some good places to shop for watches and mens clothing? Selection is somewhat slim where I normally live, so I'm planning on doing some decent amount of spending here.

There are more clothes shops in HK than anything else, catering for all shapes and sizes. Take a stroll along Granville Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, for instance.

For watches, there are lots of timepiece stores along Nathan Road.
