Can the aune provide double the voltage? If not that's prolly why the thin bass

Thanks for the tip though

No, I have not changed anything on the Aune at all, so it is providing the normal 6.3V. But, I just looked up the specs again and it is not double by far as I initially thought:

 

ECC88: 6.3V

PCC189: 7.6V

 

Might explain the slightly less impressive bass as you suggested. I will let it run for a few days to see how it turns out.

So I noticed my volume control options have changed with the T1 plugged in to the old 'puter:

 

 

 

...so what is this SPDIF Interface stuff?

Btw, what music player are you using with PC and what plugin? I was also newb some time ago and didn`t know that with winamp I had to use Kernel Streaming or ASIO output plugin to bypass PC internal filtering. The sound is totally different when bypassed!

dcfis, what do you mean by it? For foobar there is this thread that you should propably read: http://rockgrotto.proboards.com/thread/7039/basic-foobar-configuration-1st-posts

Personally I don´t bother messing with foobar, traditional classic winamp + ASIO and KS plugin. Which plugin to use is up to you. First try KSO plugin: http://www.thefreewindows.com/2605/bypass-the-windows-audio-mixer-with-the-winamp-kernel-streaming-plugin/ and then ASIO: http://www.thefreewindows.com/2513/asio-plugins-for-winamp/ . For me ASIO plugin + ASIO drivers worked best because with KSO it didn`t seem to play in 24-bit (even when 24-bit box is disabled in winamp), KS status showed 16-bit while 24-bit file playing. But well, most FLAC and other lossless formats are in 16 bit per sample anyway, so it shouldn`t bother most ppl. KSO is a lot easier when you have no 24-bit music files. More info about KSO @ Winamp: http://www.hifi-advice.com/Winamp5-kernel-streaming-info.html (don`t set input/output buffers too low or you might get jitter and crackly sound). Also note that with KSO, depending on if you check 24-bit box or not, the output sound is slightly different.

 

e: These are my settings:

Didn`t say that. Just if I read about it and all it`s setup and customization opportunities... I just don`t bother to mess with it. I like simplicity.

I'd like to say that I used to use foobar, but I decided to buy JRiver Media Center...does everything foobar can do and is much easier to set up and use.

Dang man we are all in this together, I realize you must get tons of noob questions to get that agitated but I really didn't mean anything by it. Put me on ignore if you must.

Sorry if I seemed somehow agitated - I`m not, just sharing some info and that`s the purpose of forums - to help each other and share info, advice, thoughts and impressions ;)

I hope that some tube comparsions by "newb" members in here weren`t made without bypassing PC internal filtering because Aune T1 sounds very different with it.

I'm using Wasapi, and SoX because some(few) of my albums are 24/176-192. And I don't bother to turn SoX on and off, every time I play some of these recordings, so it's permanently on.
