8th Gen, Since 2008 The X1 series was created back in 2008. Once the 1st gen was released, the innovative combination of USB DAC and high-power headphone amplifier attracted extensive attention worldwide and has been continuously well received till this day. Over the years, it has become a classic DAC/amp series among all 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.

GT, The High-Performance Edition

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

High quality hardware, regardless of the cost - chassis from the top supplier, high-quality custom power adapter with global certifications, C0G/FK capacitors, communication-level SR PCB - whether it’s visible or invisible to you, we put our hearts there.

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

The special concept and design.
The whole process of making this product explained what GT means.
X1s GT, the high-performance “hot-hatch” of the X1 series.

The PLL (Phase Locked Loop) core that took 200 days to develop has this complex and precise algorithm which enables it to output frequencies corresponding to different resolutions. The low-jitter clock source is fed to the digital and the DAC part simultaneously. Lower whole device jitter. Purer sound.

Clock Synchronization, The Power of Uniformity
The X1s GT has the special clock technology. The PLL core can use either the internal or the external clock, and the MCU uses the algorithm to control the PLL to output the frequency corresponding to the given resolution. The XMOS and the DAC part are fed by the same clock source. Once source for the whole device, gives you great sound naturalness.

“Drive Modes”
Your Needs in Different Scenarios Are Taken Care Of

Rather than ES9038 series default filter modes, the X1s GT uses 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.
