I got the Aune X1s two days ago and initially I thought that there was some
improvement in the treble response (less roll-off than the onboard sound) and bass
became better textured. The difference was not specracular, though.
I spent yesterday listening to Aune with DT 150 and KNS 8400, appreciating the
improvement, but not knowing yet if I was to keep it or return it.
In the evening I did a double blind test session between the Aune X1s and the onboard audio.
I had 70% success with DT150 and 60% with KNS 8400. At times I was not sure if there is a difference
and the results showed I was mostly guessing.
I will return the Aune X1s and live with the onboard sound for a while.
The good side is that the muddy bass and rolled-off treble are no longer the issues
with the onboard sound and just products of my imagination and expectations.
So for anyone wondering - DT 150 can sound pretty good even if you don't have a dedicated DAC / AMP.
They are not as demanding as many people on this forum say - to my ears that is.
