Used Sennheiser HDVD 800 Headphone Amplifier with DAC for $1540

The Sennheiser HDVD 800 Headphone Amplifier with DAC has multiple used listings at Amazon Warehouse Deals (AWD), so this maybe something to keep an eye out for in case prices dropped further. The lowest option as of the time of writing is “Used – Acceptable” condition for $1540, with the price increasing by about $100 as you go from that to “Used – Good” and “Used – Very Good”. All these are by AWD actual, so you get Prime shipping if a member.

Two different Fuji Labs earphones together for $15 w/free S&H

We take a break from used items, with a new condition bundle. Two different Fuji Labs earphones are bundled together, one is an in-ear, the other more of an earbud, sold together for $15 with free shipping by the maker (Fuji Labs) through NewEgg’s website. The sale is good until 4/13/16.

The listing is rather spartan, you have to “decode” the model names to find more details. The more in-ears model is the SQWMS203, while the more “earbudy” model is the SQWMS101.

Used FiiO E10K USB DAC/Amp for $62

This ships directly from “PRO Studio”, so it is not eligible for Prime shipping. This Fiio averages 4.5 out of 5 based on 360+ customer reviews.

Please note that Fiio is rebooting their naming scheme with some of their newer products, so check their website to untangle the naming spaghetti.
