Might be a pricing error, but...
Monoprice Monolith Liquid Spark headphone amp is currently $32.49.

https://www.monoprice.com/product?&p_id=33304

If you add $18 more to you cart you could also use the "BIG25" coupon code which would bring the effective price down even more.

EDIT: It looks like the price went up to $49.99, which is one cent short of being able to use the "BIG25" coupon code (which would drop the price back down to $35).

Nice. I'm considering this for a backup. I might get a few USB C cables to get the price up, since they don't last very long for me, for some reason.

If you missed out on the Liquid Spark from my previous post, the Monoprice Ebay store still has the Monoprice Monolith Liquid Spark Headphone Amp for the $32.49 price! There is even a bulk discount if you want to buy two for some reason.

Get them while you can before they fix the price there, too...

Here's some deals this week worth mentioning. One thing Amazon recently started doing is applying a pro-rated discount coupon on new items also to used ones. If you buy something used and there's a coupon, always click it. The first one is an example. The used one is $375 but there's a coupon for $25 off a new, but it still takes $18 off the used one at the lower price, so they're doing percentages on them. Click those coupons!

I got this email from Tidal and I guess this is somewhat of a deal.
On April 10, 2024, Tidal is going to provide full lossless, HiRes FLAC, HiFi Plus, and Dolby Atmos sound for the same price of $10.99. No more extra fees for the "Max" HiRes.

Starting April 10, 2024, you will now get access to our music library in full lossless, HiRes FLAC, and Dolby Atmos sound for the same price you pay today of $10.99 (plus applicable sales tax)/month. This is because we’re making it easier for everyone to enjoy best-in-class sound quality by combining our HiFi and HiFi Plus tiers into a single subscription tier called TIDAL. You will see these changes reflected on your Subscription page at account.tidal.com on your first billing date on or after April 10, 2024. Thanks for choosing to be a TIDAL subscriber.

edit for clarity
