sorry if stupid questions:
Does the balanced and single ended output need to burn in on their own?
I noticed you can use both at the same time, does it affect the player in any way?
thanks

I never tried using both output at the same time, does it really work?

Will there be any problem? Interesting if it does, I can share music with my kid

yep, listened to music w/ girlfriend in the plane like this ^^

awesome!
But does it have any negative effect on the dap?

 

[nmatheis]

Shouldn't have any negative effect on the DAP, but you can't control the volume independently so you'll be stuck work whatever volume you can compromise on. Personally, I wouldn't look at it as a feature...

  What amps would you recommend that can perform this function?

What balanced in and out amp?
I have the Fireye HDB.  It's very nice and not that expensive.  It's adds transparency, separation and bass impact to the sound.  I think it improves the M1s and makes it sound better especially in the the bass section.

Hi all,
 
I'm part of the UK review tour for the Aune M1S.
I just received the unit, which has been used by several people before me.
 
Should I be ok to just stick my micro-SD card in and play?
Or anything I should be aware of first?
I've been using my micro-SD card already in a xDuoo X3 (Rockboxed), it's mostly FLAC, about 10% of them 24/** (varies); a few MP3's too.
 
Also, how can I quickly check what firmware version I'm on? I understand a new one was released yesterday(?), so just want to ensure I'm on the latest version in order to do full justice to the player in my review!
 
Many thanks!

Only thing to do is check the gain setting and make sure Line out isn't switched on. Other than that your'e good to go. I updated to the new version of the FW last night and it still says version 1.03. But I know it updated because the split second cut off seems to be fixed. So if there is not a split second cut off after you update to the latest test firmware posted a few days back, you know you're on the latest version. Having said that in settings you can (usually) check which firmware you're on.
 
Oh and thanks to Aune for fixing the cut off. I am a very happy camper now.

I used the search function on the thread and found some answers (isn't it annoying when people don't bother to do that? But I'm sometimes feeling lazy too lol).
 
I tried to update the firmware. It flashed up a message a bit quick for me to notice, something like "jump error", then it carried on updating.
But afterwards, it still said version 1.031.
And, as if that wasn't bad enough, I'm experiencing the cutting off of the start of some tracks.. sigh..
 
Not sure where to go from here; any suggestions welcome, and I'm happy to answer questions about the issue.

First thing I'd try is get that firmware off the sd card and replace it with the second newest, then try update to the test FW from there. That worked for me. Mine got some little error msg even when it was successful.

Brilliant!
Er, and where might I find the second newest FW?

Please don't make me use the search function again; surely once a day is enough?

 

[Skullophile]

Wait.. i went from this one to the newest

Hey guys!

Latest test build here!

[ATTACHMENT=4593]auneM1Stestbuild_1.058.zip (617k. zip file)[/ATTACHMENT]

This should work

Here is the latest test FW.

  Thanks! We'll do better!

 
I am happy to see Aune Audio taking time to listen to customers and working hard to resolve issues that have popped up. No point in a product being good in practice without solid backing from the company. Kudos to you and your colleagues for resolving the issue. I was already enjoying the M1S on the shipped FW because I haven't been on here awhile but I can't wait to load up the new FW and give it a whirl!
 
Cheers

Hi guys, Another review posted for Aune M1S which was very enjoyable listen...

Thanks to AuneAudio for this wondeful DAP and the latest beta firmware! This is a huge leap of improvement and is near perfection! The audible 'cut-off' at the end of some songs still there and hoping this will be straightened out once the final firmware release is available! More power to Aune!
