The Cayin C5 Portable headphone-amp in the brushed black metal color scheme is going for $110 with free shipping in “Used – Like New” open-box condition with a 1-year warranty per the details in the listing offered by “MusicTeck” through Amazon Warehouse Deals. The new condition price is $130. The amp averages 3.9 out of 5 based on 53 customer reviews.
Unlocked at MD: Hidizs AP60 for $75; Cayin C5 DAC/Amp for $154
Two more products have blossomed into unlocked offers (such flowery language!) at members-only Massdrop. They have seven days to go from today (today = posting date), and are estimated to ship in late March 2017.
One is a digital audio player, the Hidizs AP60 is going for $75 with free shipping, which defeats the eBay and amazon prices of $89~.
Next up, yet another portable DAC/amp in an ever-growing market, it is the Cayin C5 DAC/Amp going for $150 plus $4 flat shipping. But the decision is closer here, because one eBay seller, EpiceSolutions (state of Washington) has it for $162.49 with free economy shipping.

Cayin N5 DAP for $268 [DAP]
Shipping in early February 2017, the Cayin N5 digital audio player is offered for $260 plus $8~ flat shipping at members-only Massdrop. The offer runs for the next seven days but there’s a very small number of units available. Then again, these are a niche within a niche, so they may not sell out before the offer’s expiration date.
They play up to DSD128, which is the magic number, because they can accept two microSD cards up to 128GB each. It doesn’t have any user-accessible internal music storage.
