Is there a 3d printed opamp lid for this to fit bigger opamps like those from Sparkos or Burson.

No, you have to use it upside down.

Appreciate the review.

Thank you!

Thanks for the review. I've purchased the aune some days ago, with sparkos ss3602...it's impossible to buy a better dac for that price. sounds awesome

Thank you very much for reading.
I am glad that your impressions are inline with my findings.

Btw, I recommend trying the Aune XP2 linear power supply as it enhances the performance.
I will add an extra section in the review when I have some spare time.

Hi Ichos. Yes I bought some days ago the Aune xp2, I'll write my impressions when I have it at home

By the way, Do you know if it's possible to connect two amps at the same time? one with preamp out and one with line out. Regards

Hi, I am not sure because I haven't tried this kind of connection.
You can try and see if it works, I don't think that there is a risk of damaging it.

Tried sparko opamps? I see a review saying it lifts it to $1k level

Not me but there is another owner on the thread who said that the Sparkos raised the performance to another level.

I have the Aune xviii with sparkos. there are significant differences between the ss3602 and the other that comes in the box. sound is more natural and airy. quite expensive, but i think it's worth the price, sounds much better than my topping d70s

I too have the Sparkos in my Aune.. I also have 2 of them in my A07 speaker amp. The differences that Sparkos introduces are quite noticeable and you can read up on why. Looking forward to using the Aune with my A07 pro that has 5 Sparkos SS3602's

I wish the op-amp socket was at the top of the unit.
