Ya, the UI isn't this devices strong point, and it isn't going to wow you with a flashy display. However, it's a solid performer and tremendous value from what I've gathered so far.

I had Aune S16 with which I was more pleased than with the Naim DAC V1 and Rega DAC - R. Well then, I sold all hifi, because moving to another apartment.
Now reassembled hi-fi system. Now I already have Gustard H10 + HE-560.
I am looking for DAC and is also considering Aune S6. As for my taste HE-560 a little on the bright side, I would prefer to AKM DAC chipset than the Sabre.
In S16 I also prefer that the fuse can be replaced. In S6 I think this is not possible. So I wonder just DAC section. Unless the amplifier in S6 better than Gustard H10. What do you think?
 
greetings,
Simon

Gustard has the A20H. Aune has the S6. Pick one

Do you think that this one could replace Gustard H10?  Has it enough power?

The gustard H10 has LOTS of power. This has EVEN MORE power.

Did you actually check that thread?

So anyone compare Aune S6 to S16? What is the difference at all?

So I looked up the tech specs are they did not mention if the XLR out the back are balanced... I'm guess they're not balanced and only the front output is balanced?

It's XLR left and XLR right which means it's balanced.

Thanks. Sweet... Seems like I've found my end game desktop DAC/amp combo

I apologize that I strive ... but can anyone tell from experience?

 

[simon740]

From Germany I can get Aune S16 for 600€
From France I can get Aune S6 for 600€

What would you choose?

S6 for the built in balanced amp.

  S6 for the built in balanced amp.

But I am most interested in the DAC section.
Since I already have Gustard H10 for Hifiman HE-560. Although all the time I thinking, if I could replace the H10 and a separate DAC with this Aune S6.
Or keep the H10 and decide between S16 and S6 (only for DAC).

Simon
