As mentioned in the 1st post, I'm waiting for the results of my blind
MP3 test...
In the interim, I wondered if my measurement setup can be fooled by MP3.
So, with the AUNE X1 still connected, lets run the test signal lossless
vs. MP3 through and see!
Summary results:
14345
Not bad! When conde

There are two use cases .
As digital transport or listening via analogue out .
There is some merit to that something could happen on the analog outs
not so likely that a connected dac exhibits differences when using it as
transport .

No, the AUNE has its own wallwart. I used the RCA out on the back for
the measurements.
Any Touch TT3 modders reading this? Is it easy to go back to stock
settings afterwards?

two pieces of audio or video gear, or evaluating any audio "tweak," is a

Is the headphone amp USB bus powered ?

I got the AUNE X1 last year as a "portable" headphone amp / DAC. I did
an AB test using this with a friend's Weiss DAC202 (massive price
differential) and it sounded pretty good in comparison :-).

The USB implementation is the bog standard BB PCM2707 (adaptive

That's my view too.

Due to the better damping you also get better impulse response .
You can easilly adjust for sensitivity differences making it easy to
match drivers and save even more power . It's not uncommon that the
tweeter is higher sensitivity a passive filter design must then use
resistors in series and par
ATC preach the following benefits of active over passive:
- Correction for phase is possible, which improves group delay and
imaging.
- Passive crossovers are designed for a response at a given input power
but their response changes as input power changes, active crossovers
have a stable response
