At its heart is the all-new Blackbird WTA (Watts Transient Aligned) filter, the result of 46 years of research by digital design consultant Rob Watts, running four million taps across five Xilinx FPGAs to reconstruct the timing of a recording with an accuracy that conventional digital technology cannot approach. The new flagship of Chord's Choral system.

The Blackbird WTA filter uses four million taps, implemented directly in hardware across 5x Xilinx FPGAs rather than via FFT convolution, a tenfold increase over the one-million-tap filter of the previous \u003ca href=\"\/products\/chord-hugo-m-scaler\"\u003eHugo M Scaler\u003c\/a\u003e and roughly five times the FPGA processing power of the flagship \u003ca href=\"\/products\/chord-dave\"\u003eDAVE\u003c\/a\u003e. Nearly all of the filter's mathematical coefficients reach the theoretical sinc-function ideal for perfect reconstruction. In a first for a Chord upscaler, a custom Pulse Array ADC brings turntables, tape, and other analogue line-level sources into the upscaling path, using proprietary decimation filters to eliminate aliasing from its 104 MHz noise-shaper output. A 108-bit, ten-shelf lossless digital EQ, first seen in the Mojo 2, offers plus or minus 18 dB of adjustment with no loss of resolution. Designed to partner every Chord Electronics DAC and to unlock the full 768kHz capability of the DAVE.

Instruments acquire a tangible presence and a more natural sense of timbre, bass pitch becomes cleaner and better defined, and reverberation and spatial depth, the sense of a real acoustic space, are markedly improved. Through the built-in ADC, analogue sources are preserved with the fine timing cues the brain relies on to map a soundstage, so vinyl and master tape are rendered with studio-grade transient accuracy rather than sounding flattened or mechanical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuild and Finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA two-box design, pairing the upscaler with a separate Rob Watts-designed power supply whose proprietary pinch-off RF filter architecture delivers the low-noise purity normally associated with battery power from a mains-connected unit.

Expect precise, dynamic, and detailed reproduction with excellent instrument separation and a tonal balance that flatters both analytical and relaxed listening, with the added freedom to shape the sound through filter and op-amp choices.

It combines high-resolution decoding up to 32bit\/768kHz PCM and native DSD512 with a fully discrete amplifier and Aune's own clock technology, all wrapped in the signature arc-shaped chassis. For the listener building a serious desktop rig who wants both a clean source and real driving power in one box, the X1s GT is a compelling foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eType and Technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDecoding is handled by an ESS ES9038Q2M chip governed by Aune's PLL (Phase Locked Loop) clock algorithm, which feeds low-jitter clock signals to the XMOS receiver and DAC simultaneously so the whole unit runs in synchronized mode without asynchronous sample-rate conversion. A 10MHz external clock input on BNC lets you connect a dedicated reference such as the Aune XC1 for further refinement. Digital inputs cover USB (32bit\/768kHz, DSD512), coaxial (24bit\/384kHz, DoP128), and optical (24bit\/192kHz, DoP64). The amplifier is an upgraded version of Aune's classic B1 fully discrete circuit, and four Aune-developed filter and drive modes replace the stock chip filters.

The PLL clock work and fully discrete output stage give it a clean, low-noise backdrop with natural tone and confident dynamics. The balanced 4.4mm output delivers up to 1200mW into 32 ohms, enough to drive demanding full-size headphones with authority, while the single-ended 6.35mm output serves easier loads. Line output measures 2.0Vrms with 120dB SNR and DNR and THD+N of 0.00013 percent, so the source signal feeding the rest of your system is exceptionally clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBuild and Finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe X1s GT is built into a zero-tolerance aluminum enclosure in the series' distinctive arc shape, finished in Black with a red ring-light glowing behind the volume wheel that gives it a bold, GT-inspired look.
