And it keeps dropping. Now at $249...
Real good DAC/amp for the money, but it has to be said that it is very powerful but also suffers channel imbalance at the bottom of the pot. I use it on my PC where I can dial in a -10db preamp so I can actually get the pot out of the imbalance range without going deaf, but if you use it on another device where you're unable to do something similar, beware

Aliexpress is having their new years sale. A few interesting items from Hifiman including the HE-R10D

$163.75 - $20 coupon (USNY20) = $143.75. Sorry to anyone who paid over a grand

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806865721030.html


Hifiman Stealth Arya

$457.87 - $60 (USNY60) coupon = $400ish

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807806293668.html
Those are some great deals! The Arya is tempting but I guess there is an argument that it would be wiser to spend more ($80-$100) on the open box/refurbished equivalent directly from Hifiman because you would be getting a warranty. I doubt they would honor warranties from these random sellers on Ali. Or are they not sticklers on the retailer? I've never had to do any warranty claims on any of my 12 HFM cans, but better to have the safety net and not need it...
