It is actually Single's Day in China.

This date is marked by huge sales on their products (including audio gear), and is usually a period where audiophiles anticipate huge discounts.

Thanks a lot, never heard about it before, and I've seen so much about it in this forum lately. Now I know why

Have a read through the wiki about singles day. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singles'_Day

It hasn’t always been a Black Friday-esque event in the past, but one of the most important rules in marketing is to make something very easily memorable. And most can’t argue that 11.11 is a particularly easy number combination to use for marketing events.

In Japan and Korea, the makers of Pocky and Peppero respectively hype 11.11 as the day to give those snacks out as gifts, as those chocolate-covered biscuit sticks are as straight as the number 1.

Okay, there where more behind this date than I thought. Great to learn a bit about where tradition's like this comes from, even though it is a bit of a Shame that it too, is being commercialized so heavily, but I guess that's just how things are today :/

If anyone wants a dac, the Tempotec Sonato BHD Pro is on sale for a great price ($54) - https://www.linsoul.com/products/tempotec-sonata-bhd-pro

If you had a LEC voucher like me, it should work out to only being about 30 usd which is a bargain (cheaper than dawn pro, shio etc)

I like that those marketing guys are looking for all the single guys/gals out there

Picked up that MOONDROP DAWN Pro for $36. Couldn't pass that up. Also grabbed a FiiO Lightning to USB-C LT2 cable to go with it, but that one wasn't discounted at all.

This 11.11 sale coupon jungle on AE is truly odd.
Have two items in my cart with a total of $106. AE automatically applied the 4$ per 20$, so 16$ (max) off. Then I added the AEUS15. The cart accepted this no problem.
Then checkout...PayPal goes OK, but then it does not go anywhere, just displays a tiny message at the top of the page and the message says: 'default'.

LOL. Well, then, I am not going to spend anything. Good bye AE.

Cheers.

For the AEUS15 to work, the subtotal, after you delete the "$4 per 20's" and any seller discounts and any "coin" discounts, and Not including shipping or taxes, needs to be above $100. Yours is $86, that may be why the coupon did not work (or you got a glltch). Also, Sometimes their systems don't work right when you try to add a coupon and need to "UN-highlight" the items you want to purchese, so the total purchase shows $0.00; Then re-highlight the items you want to purchase and try again. AE systems are really being taxed on 11/11.

Got a quality high-impedance earbud instead. Saved about $25 USD.

Tingker H16 from the Audiosense Official Store with $150 store coupon. No spend and save on that.

Yincrow RW-2000 from VS Audio Store. Reduced to $120. I had to add a packet of Dunu S&S tips after the spend and save plus coin discounts reduced it below to the threshold for the $100 11/11 coupon.

So no cables this year!
(Do I get a cookie?)

Well, maybe you'll like the cable you get with that RW-2000. So, no

Just want to say thanks to the various codes/posts on here I was able to get some TH900 sheepskin earpads (been wanting to try them on my HE6se v2) and a Dawn Pro (that was mentioned in an earlier post) for about $46 total. Ended up being like $23 in discounts ($12 for the $4 off $20 promo, $8 off $50 coupon, and the rest in coins).
