I run the Aune AR5000 headphones with the S9C Reference DAC and Aune balance Litz cables. Subjectively, the sound is phenomenal! While I am sure the headphones are specifically designed for the S9C headphone amp's output, the combination truly shines.
I explored Mode 2 on the S9C Reference for testing while driving the AR5000s. My source is a Windows 11 machine feeding PCM FLACs from Tidal via USB in Exclusive Mode with the Aune driver installed. Notably, the setup seamlessly handles any FLAC format (MQA, 16/24 bit) offered by Tidal.
Again, my subjective impression is nothing short of fantastic. The sonic synergy between these components is impressive, especially considering the competitive price. Finding a better value proposition at this level will be a challenge.
