When will the next big sale be?
Hey all, I missed the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale and I am wondering when the next sale is. Currently looking to get the Sennheiser hd58x or hd6xx, heard it dropped to $129/$179 respectively on Black Friday. When is the next upcoming sale with similar prices?

I purchased the first generation Aune T1 offered on Massdrop back in 2014. Is it worth upgrading to this newer model? What will I gain? I've read there may be better USB DAC options for my setup, but the tube is pretty darn cool for the warm sound, and in all honesty I like the aesthetics. I've always wanted to roll tubes, but have also read it doesn't make much difference on the first gen so haven't bothered.
I currently use the T1 purely as a USB DAC from my office workstation which then runs to my amp via RCA. This drop's price is definitely worth considering if there are benefits, as are other potential recommendations. I do not currently use headphones but am always considering getting some.
I'm rebuilding my office right now so it's a great opportunity to upgrade before rewiring the room. Other recommendations are appreciated.
I am a tinkerer by trade, so opening and modding options are also of interest.
Thank you.
I Just got a used one today, to do just this, to my third now.
Worst case, you fry the thing,,, you can buy a new one for $164.99... and try again;) my last one was made far easier fitting the larger caps in, by moving some smaller ones to the top of the board "tube-side", now it's "In like Flint"...

If you really want to go ahead, I can post the parts from Digi-Key, and other links to instructions/guidelines.
