100+ Head-Fier
Let’s not be to harsh on Aune, a few personal observations:
1. I think we all agree this amplifier sounds fantastic!
2. Apparently the used volume controles are programmable devices, the differences we perceive are not faulty but just programmed differently, resulting in the same excellent sound quality but operate with different volume steps.
3. In order to prevent your S17 from overheating Aune has built in a protection that 99% of us will never see in action as it will kick in only at either very high ambient temperatures or with very specific headphone combinations.
4. I could live, very happily, with either of the volume configurations and feel confident you could get it reprogrammed (or swapped) if needed.
…. now let’s get back to why we bought this great amplifier in the first place and joined this thread to share our enthusiasm, experiences and tips.
