only if only aune can make treble and bass adjustments through the next firmware update.

I can almost guarantee that this won't happen.

Just placed my order for an M1S. If it works out, supports 256GB MicroSD and does better "balanced out" for headphones and output to my RA2B... then, Fiio X5iii is going up for sale.

Depends on your personal preference, of course. For my taste, I would take M1s over X5 III for sound, especially when M1s balanced out is taken into account.

The X5III in my experience doesn't have that transparency, separation, and stage width that the M1s has. It does however, beat the M1s in stage depth, and bass area. If you don't mind having less features, in compensation for higher sound quality, then the M1s is a great value IMO.

Hmm... I don't have X5iii to listen to any longer, but I'm curious how you think it beats M1s in bass department. That wasn't my experience. M1s isn't as full sounding as X5iii, but I feel M1s has better definition in the bass region.

just curious, what is the exact output impedance for aune m1s? is it greater than 1ohm? for single ended and balanced output

Pardon me for saying that, I didn't mean to say 'beat'. Maybe more to the liking for some bass-heads. IMO the X5III has a deeper, darker, and fuller low frequency in comparison with M1s. Due to the X5III having more quantity, but not necessarily more quality in its presentation/technique (layering, positioning, resolution, imaging, etc.). Then again, this was just my experience. It may differ from yours.

I still experienced stuttering issues on my aune m1s. I have sent an email to aune audio support. This is really bothering me, as this DAP wasn't supposed to behave like this. I hope that this isnt a manufacturing defect, or else I will request for a replacement.

When playing back DXD files?

 

[jeffisflyboy]

Regardless of any file types, be it mp3, flac 16 bit to 24 bit, and even dsd, there are certain songs that will just stutter all of a sudden, which is really annoying when you're in the middle of enjoying the music you're listening to.

What sd card are you using right now?

 

[jeffisflyboy]

I have a 128 GB Samsung evo that I'm going to use when my massdrop purchase arrives and will report back but that will most likely be in 2-3 weeks as they are not scheduled to ship until 6/8. I know that this doesn't help you out now and hopefully you will have it settled by then.

From my experience with samsung evo sd card 128gb i had problem exactly like you, and i am using right now the sandisk sd card 128 gb, and everything fine, no problems.
So, AUNE m1s and samsung evo sd card - Do not go together.

This is soooo something I did not want to read. I have a Samsung Evo 256GB MicroSD card in my X5iii that I wanted to use in the M1S.

Is it fat32 64kl allocation file? May help. If not. I'm sorry you got bad luck. I use unknown Taiwanese brand 128gb exfat on mine and works great at 95%.

 

[jeffisflyboy]

I came from sandisk 16gb before, which I also experienced tge same thing. It would be hurting to my wallet to buy a new memory card, only ending sith the same issue. But I guess I can try

There is a USB/SD card formatter application in the Aune website. Not sure if it will work any differently..
