    After doing some debate back and forth I ended up purchasing a Furman PL8C from Stereo Exchange for $99 + shipping. Even with the shipping price it still came out to about $40 below Amazon's lowest new price. I don't expect a difference in sound quality but it will be nice having such a convenient, mountable power conditioner / surge protector to plug everything in to.

    Amazon has one more AK JR like new from Audio Advice for $219. They said they're authorized and it comes with a two year warranty. (I snagged the other!)

    amazon.com:

    Customers voted Amazon #1 in corporate reputation. (Ranked 86.27 points)

    $8.62 off an order of $50 or more today. Enter code BIGTHANKS at checkout. Today only.

    Edit: I just tried to use this. All $50 must be sold by amazon. Fulfilled by amazon does not count.

    Headphone.com will give you a 20% coupon if you sign up for their email list (should pop up on site, or there's a tab to the right). Unsure if they are any exceptions

    This would put a Dragonfly Red new at $151 with the coupon (assuming it's not an exception).

    It looks like the code works for the Utopia. That seems like a pretty good discount for brand new.

    I don't know what a Cipher cable costs but Open Box Sine with regular cable is $240.

    I'm surprised that it's not excluded but you can get them for 3k from some dealers.

    I have been wondering about the Shanling M1. I like the form factor and the price ($150). I was hoping to hear something about it from someone I trust. I caught up reading the "DAP talk (formerly best DAPs 2015)" thread today and saw this:
    Then I read that the M1 is on Massdrop again. https://www.massdrop.com/buy/shanling-m1?referer=EG273Y
    $120 (free shipping) after 20 people join or commit. (7 days to go, ATM)

    I committed today.

    @zerodeefex had a lot of good to say about the M1 too for a low-cost portable.

    I saw him liking it for a transport, but I didn't see anything as a player. (I might have missed that.)

    Oh ok. Haven't read it since he originally made those posts but now that you mention that does refresh my memory.

    The M1 isn't going to win any resolution battles but is a solid, warm sounding, tiny dap. Perfect for on the go and traveling. SQ is pleasant and full bodied. Then if you want to up the game, it's a very compact transport. Not much to complain about for under $150.
