Here's some good ones this week. None of the eBay listings are mine. Also Hifi-College really honors their warranty. If it's Aoshida-US and they ship it from the factory, I've never had a problem. If Amazon ships it and it's used, they just tell you to send it back and don't replace it. SMSL store stuff always works with no problem also. On Ebay it's the usual, check seller feedback and make sure it's not a brand new account with a price that's too good to be true. Starting with the Topping stuff since I'm currently listening to an original A90/D90 stack, still the best thing I've heard. I buy about $5,000 a month in audio equipment, but not enough time and space for everything. Here's stuff at the prices I usually pay:

Topping A90 Headphone Amplifier (black) $299 free shipping
https://www.ebay.com/itm/364646569719

Topping A90 Discrete $450 Used Good 1 year warranty
https://www.amazon.com/KGUSS-Discrete-Headphone-Amplifier-Pre-Amplifier/dp/B0B4JQD8G7/

Topping PRE90 Preamplifier $420 used - good 1 yr warranty
https://www.amazon.com/Topping-Preamplifier-Modules-Balanced-Control/dp/B09WZZRSXJ/

Topping D90LE $600 used good 1 yr warranty
https://www.amazon.com/Topping-Bluetooth-ES9038PRO-PCM32bit-Desktop/dp/B0B2JWMCKW/

SMSL C200 Amp/DAC used (but from the SMSL Store) $125
https://www.amazon.com/C200-Headphone-Amplifier-ES9038Q2M-4xOPA1612/dp/B0B9391B45/

The NiceHCK SilverCat cable is on sale at Aliexpress. Listed regular price is $219.90, sale is 50% off at $109.99. But, there is an $83 off coupon for this cable, making it $29.
Thanks, it’s a good cable.

This pricing is typical for NiceHCK. They vastly inflate their cable prices so they look good in sales. $29 is a decent price for the SilverCat, but it is certainly not a $100 cable.

The SilverCat slightly boosts bass and treble, and is a very competitive choice at $29.
