Today I was informed that the Black Friday iSine 10 deal (not sure about the other models) directly from Audeze could take weeks to fill, so I hope no one ordered these as Christmas gifts, and if you did you may want to organize a backup gift. :neutral_face:

The obvious answer is...buy both! :)
Ya totally can't. I already got the future sonic g10 on black Friday (amazing bass).

And to make sure I'm staying on topic per the thread certain microcenters have the RhA T10 and T20 on sale for $100. Pick up only so check the specific store for stock.

There is again an Ebay coupon Applicable to Pitbull Audios Listing for the UE 900S IEMS

PHOLIDAY20 brings the cost from $160 down to $128.

In addition, there is a targeted eBay Bucks promotion. If you are eligible (check your messages) you get 8% in Bucks if you buy on the web, or 10% back if you purchase using eBays Android (and I assume IOS) app. The Bucks deal is targeted, the PHOLIDAY20 code should work for everyone until it expires or they sell out.
out of stock again

At Newegg the seller ElectronicsExpo has the Onkyo Rubato DP-S1 on sale for $199 for a few more days:

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA3JX5S28611

To my knowledge this is the lowest it has been. This is very similar hardware as the Pioneer XDP-30R, which was available on a Cyber Monday sale direct from Pioneer from the same price recently (50% off Pioneer's regular price, and also a low).

Another low price is the Focal Sprit One S for $69, available from the online and physical store Audiolab (which is in PA):

They also sell through Rakuten:

Do you know if you can stream Tidal with the Onkyo? Edit: Looks like you can. Anyone know if it will allow you to download Tidal offline content to the micro sd cards?

To my knowledge Tidal still doesn't allow offline mode on third party hardware, so I don't think the DP-S1 works with any offline Tidal content. Regarding streaming, I read that there are regionally different Onkyo DP-S1's that are licensed for streaming only in their intended region (Japan, US, Europe). I did get the DP-S1 in that sale on Newegg and it just arrived today, but it is going to be a Christmas gift so I can't comment for sure on it's Tidal support. If there's an easy way for me to tell from the outside of the package, I could look at it and let folks know...

FiiO X7 allows offline content.
Not sure how to tell the difference between regional models.

The DAPs that run a full version of Android with the Google play store (ie. Fiio X5, X7’s, higher end Pioneer XDP 300R and Onkyo) will allow off-line Tidal downloads via the Tidal app but the ones that run a modified version (Rubato, Pioneer XDP-30R, Astell & Kern) allow streaming but not offline.

I just researched this because I was in the market for a DAP with Tidal offline and I went with the Fiio X7 mk ii. I got it open box on Amazon from an authorized dealer for $500. There might still be some out there for that price.
