Long time lurker, first time deal poster :)
From what I can tell, this seems to be a genuinely good price for this well regarded portable DAP, that looks to be a very good alternative to an iPod Nano. Normally retails for around US$140 without the leather case (around US$10 separately), and this included free

A review within the head-fi thread.
According to the head-fi forum, these will not ship until end of November, although I didn't see anything on the store to indicate that. Attach the US$5.00 coupon in the seller's store to get the discounted price of US$94.83. AK Audio is a well regarded Ali seller on head-fi.

Been looking at upgrading my Fiio X1 (Gen 1) to one of these or the new Gen 2 X1.
Both will ahve Bluetooth but the Shanling has AptX.
Only problem is that I've only had the X1 for 3 months….
