For anyone interested, found Yincrow RW-3000 on sale at AE + $20 store coupon. Coupon just about covers taxes / vat charge (depending on retail tax where you live).
Right now about 15 hours left before end of sale.
VS Audio Store: Yincrow RW 3000 Flagship
$279.30 for 3.5SE version
$284.01 for 2.5Bal. ver.
$288.72 for 4.4Bal. ver.

Ordered. Thank you for sharing!

BTW! If you are using Microsoft Edge (and its own coupon finder addon) for 2.5mm Bal ver. after store coupon of $20, minus the VAT (for me in the US), which is $18, then Edge found a $10 coupon TS10 it is $272 (for me) total.

I haven't ordered from this store on Aliexpress; I assume it is a decent store, by its 99.1 positive score?

Meanwhile, the RW2000 are $122 after $8 store coupon on the same store: VS Audio Store: Yincrow RW-2000 (there might also be a coupon found by Edge coupon finder, who knows?!)

VS Audio is one of the bigger stores, I wouldnt worry about it.

Gotcha, thanks!

Also went ahead and ordered a couple more pairs of the CCA CRA (for $13 per) from the official CCA store, and since they don't come with carry cases, I also got 2 of these from VS Audio.

Nice! Darn, didn't know about the MS Edge coupon thing. Anyway, I went for the 4.4 Balanced. To me the balanced is a bit more versatile. I can either plug into a DAP with 4.4 balanced or convert to 3.5SE using a 4.4Bal female to 3.5SE male adapter for DAPs that only have 3.5SE. Best of both worlds sort of thing.

Yeah, when I first saw it, I wasn't a big fan because it seemed more annoying than anything else, but one day when looking at something, it came up and automatically started plugging in all sorts of coupons, and when it finished, it told me which one was best. I have been using it ever since then.

That was also my thinking with the 2.5mm balanced (for my gear). My DX300 comes with all three connections, but my iBasso IEMs come with 2.5mm connector, and adapter to 3.5mm SE, and I bought a 2.5mm to 4.4mm for my DX160 that only has 3.5mm and 4.4mm. I have all my bases covered except 4.4mm to 3.5mm (I will have to get one of those). Where did you get your 4.4mm to 3.5mm adapter?

I went with a GUCraftsman adapter from Amazon. GUCraftsman is also on AE, but the Amazon price is lower and I can build up Amazon awards points with purchases on my Amazon awards card. I used my awards card for the AE purchase, so should get a few awards points to spend on more stuff at Amazon (Yep, vicious circle...). Just got to let the points build up.

EDIT: I added the $10 discount code you found to my original post. Might as well spread the savings for the folks interested in buying the RW-3000.

Yeah, I dig those points also. I switch between the Prime card, and the Amazon Prime card (they really are different LOL).

Thanks for the rec, I will look into this! <wonders if they have an angle connector for this>

Edit: Apparently I will need this connector because the newest amp card for the DX300 (nuTube) tube amp will be SE only. One has to be prepared right?

I DID manage to find this angled adapter from ddHifi (which are also great adapters IMO) if you were interested. It is a bit ugly compared to their resin (see through) ones I have ordered before though.

Undecided on which one I want, but I like the one you linked to quite a lot.

Yeah, that right angle adapter is solid, less moving parts for sure. Good to have choices.

I like that it is so small (less add-ons in my pocket), but the wires in the ddHifi are hybrid OCC copper + SPC, where the GUCraftsman is pure silver. Desicions, desicions!

Haha please let us know the million dollar question when you get the RW3000:
Is Yincrow RW3000 worth the extra $150 USD compared to the RW2000??

I will do that. I was waiting to pull the trigger to hear much the same, but when I saw them on sale(ish), my fingers wouldn't listen to my brain.

Out of curiosity I wanted to see what the price was after the "sale". The price jumped up approx. $56.00 per tier. The $20 store coupon was still there.
So it was definitely a "money saver" buying at the sale price vs regular street price. Does anyone know what the MSRP was when these launched? VS Audio lists the price as "US $570.00". Not sure if that is the true MSRP though.

Don't quote me on this, but I think it was approximately $350(ish)?!

They were £275 from VS on Ali on 11th December, which works out at approximately $365, if that helps.
