FiiO E17 Alpen Portable Amp/DAC US $109.99 + US $7.99 (Total AU $137.24) @Massdrop

10

A re-run of this old (expired) deal: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/122587
Basically, group buy where price decreases as more people buy. If you buy at higher price but price drops before the expiry you get the cheaper price. (Is this how all group buy deals work?)

The Fiio E17 is reputedly a really good USB DAC and headphone amp, complete with its own battery so you can use it with your portable device. If that device happens to be an Android device with USB-OTG, the Fiio may actually work as a DAC for it as well (e.g. http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s4/287133-an…

Nearest alternative prices I found were $153 (inc shipping) from eBay, or $155 with overnight shipping or $147.20 with Aus parcel post.
Only $10 difference from the latter, which is an Aus store.
Anyway, being a group-buy the price might get better yet so worth keeping an eye on.

Review from the previous deal are still relevant:

    $139 including free delivery AUS and NZ…

    Support Aussie suppliers with the extra $1.76 :)

    • Yup, that's the standard price (more or less rrp) in Australia. Bought mine off noisy motel 2 years ago, still running strong!

    Would rather buy from mp4nation for $2 extra:

    Has FedEx and hence will make it to your door before Christmas (most likely), not some time early 2015.

    You can get it cheaper currently for $125 delivered from A1 Future Shop who are an Australian authorised distributor of FiiO products. They currently have a 10% off sale using coupon code: xmasdeals.

    • You guys are amazing! I hunted and didn't find any of those (although me missing the Future Shop one was pretty lame).

      I'll be in my corner…

    • They dont have FiiO E17

        You're too late, looks like they ran out of E17 stock. If you are interested in getting the FiiO E17, try contacting them directly to see if you could still buy it for the same sale price of $125 delivered when they receive more E17 stock.

        • Thanks for the advice ^_^ ~~
