Aune X1s GT

Aune X1s GT 4.4mm Balanced 32Bit/768K DSD512 USB DAC HIFI Audiophile Headphone Amplifier

Description

PLL external clock support 4.4mm balanced

The X1s GT, as the 8^th Gen of the classic X1 series, innovatively added clock input with PLL clock technology and the complex fully-discrete headphone amplifier. It is a “hot-hatch” level multifunctional DAC with headphone amplifier.

Over a decade 8^th generation

The X1 series was created back in 2008. Once the 1^st gen was released, the innovative combination of USB DAC and high-power headphone amp attracted extensive attention worldwide and has been continuously well received till this day. Over the years, it has become one of the classic DAC with headphone amp products and also Aune's signature series. The new X1s GT added clock technology and fully-discrete balanced headphone amp. It' s destined to be a milestone of the series.

Multiple institutions’ choice

Aune products were found to have been purchased by influential institutions like Peking University, among which, the National Library of China is using the X1 6^th gen for the Audio-Visual Space.

Vast improvement of the sound “HiFi” your computer

With a computer, the X1s GT can support up to 32Bit/768k DSD512. Play the Hi-Res music files from Apple Music HiFi online library. Get the high fidelity experience right away. Let it bring out your headphones/active speakers’ full potential.

Ideal DoP coaxial support without a PC you can reach 384k DSD128, too

An X5s 8^th Anniversary Edition digital music player, an X1s GF-the combo supports up to PCM384k and DSD128. Plug in your headphones ot active speakers, enjoy the fine little audio system.

HiFi your smartphone/Pad light & fun

A smartphone/Pad together with an X1s GT, immediately turns into a mastertape-level streaming media center. Plug in your headphones or active speakers. The light system brings you great listening joy.

PLL core precise algorithm

The PLL (Phase Locked Loop) clock core that took 200 days to develop has this complex and precise algorithm which enables it to output the corresponding frequencies to the DAC, thus achieves the whole device' clock synchronization. The sound is more natural and refined.

External clock support more possibilities of the sound

The X1s GT innovatively added PLL technology and 10MHz external clock input port. It’s open to various high-quality clocks(Aune XC1 recommended). More room for your exploration of the sound.

“Full-Time 4WD”, fully-discrete 4 amps, drives your headphones to the full

The upgraded version of the classic B1 fully discrete headphone amp circuit. 4X24 BJTs, 227 components in total, positive and negative 9V power supply, balanced output. It just drives your headphones right and well.

4 drive modes, your needs in different scenarios are taken care of

Rather than ES9038 series default filter modes, the X1s GT has its specially designed filter modes with our own algorithm: mode 1 and 3 for general use, 2 and 4 for headphones, carefully responding to your needs in different listening scenarios.

1. Stancard mode(general)

2. Stancard mode(headphone)

3. Pure mode(general)

4. Pure mode(headphone)

Communication-level PCB, the invisible excellence of GT

Even the PCB has got something. The X1s GT uses the communication-level SR PCB, which leads to better high-frequency performance and better details. The GT spirit shows everywhere.

Classic potentiometer, the fun of manual control

The ALPS potentiometer guarantees uncompressed dynamic. Feel the tactile volume knob and experience the fun of manual control. It’s all in your hand.

Special design of GT a light of passion

The X1s GT has a special red light design, adding a shade of passion. The long-time visual test and adjustment under different light conditions makes the red light just comfortable to the eye and not steal the show (A long press on the button can turn it off). The focus is always music.

Classic “X” arc-shape design, feel the aesthetics of arc and simplicity

The special design of arc-shape has been X1s’ signature. The charm just lingers.

GT, the high-performance edition

The X1s GT has as many as 733 components, which has reached the scale of advanced DACs with amps.

High quality hardware, regardless of the cost-chassis from the top supplier, high-quality MEAN WELL custom power adapter with global certifications, COG/FK capacitors, communication-level SR PCB - whether it’s visible or invisible to you, we put our hearts there.

Innovative technology and professional adjustment-PLL core, external clock input, clock synchronization, positive and negative 9V power supply, fully-discrete balanced headphone amp,700mA quiescent current, outstanding specifications, aesthetic tuning.

The special concept and design.

The whole process of making this product explained what the GT spirit is.

X1s GT, the high-performance “hot-hatch” of the X1 series.

Outstanding specifications lower THD+N/Noise, higher resolution

Aune never stops. This time, the X1s GT exceeds all its predecessors and reaches THD+N as low as 0.00013% and noise as low as1.92μV. Higher fidelity. Better details. Darker background. Excellent specs is the basis of excellent sound.

Aesthetic tuning

The tuning is based on real instrument sounds and music pieces referencing, leading to the signature that is natural and full of musicality.
