8th Generation Of The Award-Winning X1 Series
Aune released the original X1 DAC+Headphone AMP back in 2008. The latest X1s GT is the 8th generation of this classic device that reinvented the way we enjoy our music on desktop systems. It brings innovative changes with a single device equipped with both, a high-performance audio signal decoder and a powerful headphone amplifier. Aune takes that performance even further with the X1s GT featuring PLL external clock input and balanced headphone connections.
Precision & Integrity, Added PLL Core Precise Algorithm
Aune has designed so many professional digital audio clocks that they are now the master of the genre. With the X1S GT, they have featured the PLL(Phase Locked Loop) clock core that took a long time to develop. It is a complex and precise algorithm that enables the output signal to corresponding frequencies to the DAC, achieving a proper clock synchronization in the system. And not only this, Aune X1s GT can also be connected to an external digital audio clock to explore more options with the sound.
Fully-Discrete 4 AMP Circuit Providing Full Output Thrust
Aune X1s GT features an upgraded version of the classic B1 fully discrete headphone amplifier circuit. It consists of 4x24BJTs, 227 components in total, producing a strong output power that can drive the most demanding headphones in the market with ease. The device has a balanced 4.4mm headphone output port that produces up to 1200mW of output power.
Four Different Drive Modes
Instead of regular DAC filters, the Aune X1s GT has its own specially designed filter modes with Aune’s self-developed algorithm. They feature two modes for general use, and two specifically for headphones.
High-Quality Components To Ensure Quality Performance
Aune is not a new player in the game. They have years of experience designing the best quality audio products with high-quality audiophile-grade components. The same can be said for the X1s GT, it uses a communication-level SR PCB motherboard that helps produce better performance throughout the frequency response range with better details. It has a high-quality MEAN WELL custom power adapter with global certifications, COG/FK capacitors, and many more premium components to ensure quality performance.
Special Design With A Beautiful Red Light
Aune has treated the X1s GT with a special design that features a red light behind the volume wheel. It adds a shade of passion to the device. The X1s still boasts the classic Arc shape design from the X1 series.
Pricing & Availability
Aune X1s GT is available to order from Hifigo store for just 319.99$, feel free to order one for yourself today.
