I honestly like Aune's designs. I have an X8 DAC of them and it looks cute.Industrial design is outstanding IMHO.
ESS9028Q2M then, I guess? I expected 9018 or something so that's a decently good specced chip, considering the tube/distortion stage it's accompanied withAbout the tube thing... As far as I understood this is the third (fourth?) iteration of this concept in Aune lineup.
It seems it is something they always offered.
In this specific case we have basically a pure SS amp with a ES9028 and a switchable tube buffer.
