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:
