Not really a deal, but this might help for any US-based Head-Fiers who missed out on the FiiO X5 deal.
 
Cayin N3 DAP - Official US launch via Massdrop for $149.99.

Pretty good for it's price but how would it compare to some of the Fiio products?
 
I wish I could find a DAP that wasn't to expensive and has the ability to use spotify offline...

I hear you! I would hold off and save up for the Fiio X5iii, or wait for it to go on sale. That one is apparently awesome, and the one I'm most looking forward to trying.

Those are heavy requirements. What is your budget? Offline requires running the Spotify app, which limits it to an Android DAP that supports Google Play Store.


There aren't a lot, but the number is growing.

Onkyo has one, Pioneer has one, Cayin has one, Fiio has two, and I believe Astell&Kern has (a reality expensive) one. The Pioneer one goes on sale for $300 quite a bit, but I don't think it's in the same league as the Fiio and Cayin players.

What about an iPod Touch with the app?

 
If he's considering DAPs, he probably wants higher quality DAC and amp, otherwise may as well just use your phone.

Must have just missed this.

The Pioneer XDP-100R Digital Audio Player, Silver or Black (+ 5x Newegg Points) $299.99 + Free Shipping is still active and a better value IMO
 
Android based HiRes player as well as all the WiFi streaming Bluetooth etc.
