Fiio X3 II (2nd Generation) DAP for $170

The standard new condition price at authorized dealers of the second generation Fiio X3 digital audio player is $200 but currently it’s on sale for $170 with free shipping in three different colors at B&H Photo.

Other Fiio DAPs are on sale as well, the newly released Fiio M3, in four different colors, for $46 with free shipping.

PS: for classification purposes on this website, if something can play music, I filed it under DAPs, even if it can be used as DAC/amp for other music sources. This helps declutter the categories, which is why I have AMPs and DACs as one category, to prevent OCD levels of sub-categorization 🙂

If you are looking for an unpowered audio splitter, the white and black color schemes of the Belkin Rockstar are on sale for $8.50 each at Amazon. It has one 3.5mm input and five 3.5mm outputs. This is not powered, so depending on what combination of headphones you connect to, the volume/sound may be affected. I believe the math necessary to figure it out can be found in physics books 🙂
