Don't want to be a scrooge, but to me they basically sell a fix as an upgrade.

I think the EVO model is good if you don't already have the base S17 Pro. If you do, there's no point in upgrading!

Isn't that what new models always are though?
They are always just updating (fixing/improving) past models?

Absolutely, and they should if a model – amp, DAC, headphone – is good.
But in this case, I'm not really convinced the changes they made justify releasing a separate version at a higher price – especially since the main change is a fix for the heating issue.
But maybe I'm just being too harsh

The main difference is that the S17 Pro EVO can sustain the A-H (high current mode) for a longer duration.What are the main differencies of S17 Pro compared to S17 Pro Evo? I couldn't find much info about that

..... 'significantly' optimised?

Either it is or it is not. Which is it?

How much longer?The main difference is that the S17 Pro EVO can sustain the A-H (high current mode) for a longer duration.
are there any measurements for comparison of heating to regular S17 Pro? which internal components are changed or improved to reduce internal temperature? Will wait for more clarification and real measurments We conducted extensive testing over the course of a month and found that the A-H mode lasts significantly longer compared to the S17 Pro. However, this is influenced by factors such as ambient temperature and the placement of the device (e.g., ensuring the device is not covered by any materials like dust covers). Additionally, we believe that in tropical regions or during summer, the test results might differ from our data.How much longer?
That said, we can confidently assure you that under normal ambient temperature conditions, it is unlikely for the S17 Pro EVO to automatically trigger overheat protection.

The superconductor in my Hugo TT is all messed up so I got a new toy in the meantime while I sort out repairs: the Hibiki SDS. DSD1024 upsampling on anything you feed it (yes, including PCM)... so far so good! In many ways in fact, better than my TT and also the TT2 I A/B tested it against
I am aware this is a cursed stack

Lots of people have mentioned the heating as well as the upgrade and upcoming (?) alternate version? (Sorry, I just skimmed through the posts). I just got mine yesterday-the original S17 Pro-and basically have been running it straight for 24+ hours in 100 ma mode. I do have one small computer fan cooling that level of my "cabinet" (it's basically just 5 metal shelves with plenty of slats stacked on top of each other) and the temperature gauge has never gone above 48 degrees. On the shelf below I have a Peachtree 300 and above it i have a stack of a Burson Soloist XL and RME ADI-2.
On a side note.....it sounds great!

As you mentioned, this is indeed the case. The heat control of the S17 has no issues, but it is influenced by the ambient temperature. Generally speaking, it works perfectly under normal usage conditions. Thank you for your support of aune, and I hope the S17 Pro can accompany you for a long time.

Just in case you missed it, some headphone cables can affect the S17 Pro temperature more than others.

Oh.....interesting. Gonna have to read through
