Try checking out at both to see which is cheaper based on your shipping address's effing sales tax.

 
 
I've been on the fence about getting the NVX XPT100, but just pulled the trigger.
 
BuySonic came out slightly cheaper for me.  $69 + $2 shipping:

The AKG K44 for $30 is also tempting me...

$79 - HP Stream 7 32GB Windows 8.1 Tablet

I was looking for a cheap Windows (non-RT) tablet that I can install foobar2000 on and run via USB OTG to my DAC, and this looks to fit the bill. Thought I'd share if anyone has the same intentions. The quad-core 1.8GHz looks sufficient, but that 1 GB concerns me. Hopefully it doesn't cause playback problems like skipping. Also, reading through the comments, it looks to support at least 64 GB microSD.

Yeah it's for the sole purpose of music playing. Right now I use an old i3 ultrabook for everything, and it has quad-core 1.4 GHz, 4GB RAM, and it sometimes skips because I'm doing other things as well. Hopefully if I'm only using this tablet for music, it won't be a problem.

I noticed these sony wired/wireless are on sale.  I wrote a review on them and I thought they were quite competitive for the price point($200).  Now they're @ $140

Philips Fidelo X1 Flash Black Friday Sale - Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B3QD94O/
 
Not sure how low the price will be, but I'm guessing it'll be pretty good considering it's a black Friday deal.  These deals go quick, like really quick, so you'll have to be on the page, ready to buy them before it drops.  It says that it starts at 8:50 am for me, which is Mountain Standard Time.

Ivory was $155.81 on Oct. 9 according to CCC.
 
Black is $150 here (not sure if authorized seller but it says it has the 2 year warranty)
 
Newegg and Amazon both had the Black for $180 last week (see posts here)
 
$200 doesn't seem like that great a bargain.

Did they hit 180? Huh, didn't get any alerts from CCC. Oh well. It's an OKAY deal then for anyone wondering.
