I am pleased to announce that @AuneAudio has graciously offered their Aune M1S UK beta unit for a tour around the UK culminating in the tour unit being given to one of the tour participants at the end.
 
I've been enjoying the Aune M1S for the better part of a month and I'm really hoping we'll have some good participation here for this tour. This is a DAP that more people need to hear.
 
If you'd like to participate in the tour, please copy the following table into your response to this thread with all the information filled in:
 
HeadFi user name 
Location (City) 
A link to reviews you have posted 
Headphones and IEMs you may use 
Gear you may compare to 
Social media or blogs you use 
 
I will select 7 participants. Applications will be open till February 20. Good luck!
 

Tour Rules

  • Each participant will have 10 days to listen to the Aune M1S
  • Participants will be responsible for the cost of shipping to the next participant
  • Reviews should be posted within 2 weeks of completing your listening term in the HeadGear section here on HeadFi
  • If a review is not posted, the participant will not be eligible to receive the unit at the end of the tour
  • Please treat the tour item with care
  • Please leave impressions and photos here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/827960/aune-m1s-impressions-discussion-thread-aunes-newest-hi-res-dap-with-ess9012km-2-5mm-balanced-out
  • Sharing on social media is encouraged
  • When you receive the review unit, let the tour organizer (me) know that it has arrived safely
  • Before shipping the review unit to the next reviewer send a message that includes them and me to confirm address and availability of the next reviewer
 
Three weeks after the last reviewer's listening period finishes, I will randomly select a winner of the DAP. 
 
Here's some info about the DAP.

You guys aren't making my data-entry simple! Copying the table makes it so I can just copy data into Excel for decision-making. My co-workers do this kind of thing to me all the time...
 
Copy/paste is magic.

For the record, I tried copy/pasting the first time, but it only selects the text from the table, and not the table itself.
If there's some easy way of doing this (CTRL+something), I don't know it!
 
However, by quoting the post with the unpopulated table, I was able to do it correctly

My god , @negura ! What an asset you would be to our tour ! Such a long time since I saw you at the Cambridge meet when you were talking about the HE1000 potentially replacing the HE-6 as your no.1 phone.

Still around. :) I am really enjoying my Aune B1 while commuting and as I am writing this actually and the M1S could make sense as a pairing or so I am hoping.

The HEK came and went, but I still use the HE6s. I will keep an eye for local meets or this year's CJ as it so happened the recent ones weren't at a good timing for me.
