Yes, the DE1103 looks like it\u2019s been redesigned. You can see it dissected here:

Wow–thanks so much for confirming this, Tudor! This is obviously a redesigned Degen DE1103. I also noticed “NEW-DE1103-MAIN-1.2<\/em>” silk-screened on the board:<\/p>\n

The Hong Kong-based eBay\u00a0vendor\u00a0Bigbargainonline<\/strong><\/a> is selling the new Degen DE1103 for $79.00 US shipped. I’ve purchased from them several times before and was pleased with the experience.<\/p>\n

There are other vendors selling the new Degen DE1103 as well (click here to search eBay<\/a>) but make sure\u00a0you’re purchasing the 2015 version<\/em> of the Degen DE1103 since you can still find the cosmetically-identical legacy DE1103 new in box.<\/p>\n

Tudor, thanks again for sharing a link to the discussion on tecsun.com.cn<\/a>–while I can’t read Chinese (and the Google translation leaves something to be desired!) the photos certainly tell the story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
