For the price it'd better be Duck brand duct tape! If they cut out a 12"x12" section of that wall they could sell it at Urban Outfitters. I'd make it myself, but I'm currently out of duct tape. Admittedly I do have the headphones. :head_bandage:
I didn't know there was a shortage on Duck tape. I have a huge box of the big rolls I got a while back, maybe I should ebay it so I can get a pair of Elysium's :)

Sorry to say, but 100% fake. It's likely something like a 16gb and 32gb card that is flashed to look like 1tb when a computer reads it.

People get caught on this because you won't fill up to 1tb for a few months (on normal usage, not audio usage) and by then your return window has passed.

EDIT: See this link: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-spot-fake-microsd-card/

Also as a PSA, I've read amazon "pools" their inventory of SD cards from multiple sources. So even if you're buying a legit card (let's say Sandisk), you should always run a full test on the card to verify.
Ya I'm gonna bit the bullet here soon and get a 1TB... The 500GB (or maybe it's 512) in my HiBy R6 Pro is nearly full. As soon as the new Nvidia Shield Pro's are available again for $199 I'm going to get the 1TB, put it in my HiBy, and then stick the 500 in the Shield. I'm going to try using this to duplicate the encrypted Tidal and Qobuz files from my 500 onto the new 1TB but I suspect I'll have to just redownload a few hundred GB of offline music

@Joe Bloggs found that for me!

1 TB Micro SD for $85 for a knock off brand. Looks legit on Amazon so I ordered one, will report back on whether it is a true 1 TB or not:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083ZWRK2S

Even if legit, don't know how reliable this is but for use only for storing audio files which is 99% read over the lifetime, it should be ok. It's repeated write/read on the same bits that wear out the silicon.

You all were right. This is a fake SD card. At least Amazon has taken the product page down and the reviews must have been fake as well because those are gone too. At least I'll get a full refund.

IBasso Titanium (Silver) IT-04 on Amazon for $399. Sold by Pro Music & Sound. 9 left.

Weird thing is that I can’t get it to come up ondesktop Amazon site, only in the app on my iPad, so no link.
I actually found the blue (for $499) and the clicked to the silver for the lower price.

Nice discount for a great IEM which I’ve never seen on sale.

I wish Linsoul had a sale ... I’d love to pick up a Fearless S8 Freedom at a deal.

They do have a sale, although it's 5% off on all products. and they're also sending n95 masks with each order.

I was hoping for 15-20%, but maybe I’m being unrealistic.

I would hold off on amp/dac until the ifi Hip Dac goes back in stock. Instead stock up on Klipsch refurb.

Just to clarify. The Hip Dac is so good, a lot of people will be upgrading hence putting price pressures on the competition. I already see the Q1mk2 being available at lower prices. But the Hip Dac is so good, it is really the headfi value of the century. Sorry if I sound like hyping.
