{"product_id":"aune-x1s-gt-bt","title":"Aune X1s GT BT","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Aune X1s GT BT is the Bluetooth-equipped version of Aune's eighth-generation X1 desktop DAC and headphone amplifier, adding high-resolution wireless streaming to a design that is already a benchmark at its price. It combines decoding up to 32bit\/768kHz PCM and native DSD512 with a fully discrete amplifier and Aune's own clock technology, then lets a phone or tablet connect directly over Bluetooth. For the desktop listener who wants a clean source, real driving power, and the convenience of wireless in a single box, the X1s GT BT delivers all three.\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 unit runs in synchronized mode without asynchronous sample-rate conversion. A 10MHz external clock input on BNC allows a dedicated reference clock such as the Aune XC1 to be connected. Wired digital inputs cover USB (32bit\/768kHz, DSD512), coaxial (24bit\/384kHz, DoP128), and optical (24bit\/192kHz, DoP64), and the high-resolution Bluetooth input supports the LDAC, aptX HD, and AAC codecs. 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, with an ALPS potentiometer for volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Character\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe X1s GT BT is tuned to be musical and smooth while staying resolving. 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. Over Bluetooth, LDAC and aptX HD preserve far more detail than standard wireless.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBuild and Finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe X1s GT BT 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 for a bold, GT-inspired look. Communication-level SR PCB and carefully chosen audiophile components sit inside. The compact desktop footprint keeps it tidy alongside a monitor or speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBest For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is an excellent all-in-one for the listener who wants one tidy box to decode and drive a wide range of headphones and to stream wirelessly from a phone.
