More details about the Aune S6 can be found here:
http://en.auneaudio.com/index.php?s=Home/Article/detail/id/148.html

Activity participatory approach: post in this thread the following information and we will send the S6 for review.
1) Head-Fi username
2) Location (city, country)
3) Headphone(s) you currently have
4) Music player(s) you have
5) Links to review(s) that you have posted (if any), no matter if it is on Head-fi or elsewhere
6) Whether you would like to help organize a local Aune product review tour or not

Shipping info: Depending on the region of applied and selected applicants, Aune will deliver three or more sets of the S6. Each tour participant is responsible to send the Aune S6 DAC to the next review member in your country. Aune will pay the shipping cost for the first pieces of the S6 (tax fees paid by receiver, if any). Aune will arrange the tour order mostly by location to minimize the need for international shipping and import tax. Any persons who will incur an import duty or tax will be refunded by Aune, just keep the receipt and mail a photo of it to us.

Terms:
1) Tracking numbers are required for shipments between tour participants and each participant should send Aune the tracking number by private-message after shipment.
2) Tour participants are asked to take good care of the S6, packing and accessories.
3) Standard tour listening periods for each participant will be five days, then the participants should post the S6 to next tour participant for review.
4) Tour participants are asked to write a review of the Aune S6 DAC both on the Head-fi Forum and Facebook (or your own homepage or website.)

The review tour will end after the last members finish the review. Each member only has five days to listen to the S6.

A live-streamed random draw will take place among those who applied for this tour to give out a BETA M1s to this lucky winner！

And after the tour, we will do a public poll for the best reviews, and the winner will get a free BETA M1s as well!!




* How do we run this random draw fairly?
We will do it in a live streaming!
Notice that before we officially get the lucky numbers, we will first do a couple of trial-runs according to the number of viewers that are currently watching our streaming, to make sure the lucky numbers are 100% RANDOM.
Eg. if right before we start clicking the "generate" button there are 6 viewers (considering the time difference...), we will generate 6 useless numbers first, and then the 7th is the winner of the aune M1s DAP.

Above is the detailed information about our S6 32bit DSD DAC tour. If you’ve got any suggestions regarding it, please let us know by PM or by sending us Email via: sales@auneaudio.com

A huge thank you to those who participate and keep your eyes on this thread for more information!

P.S. We are doing a lucky draw in our Facebook too! Winners will get a free M1s or a piece of VE Monk Plus earbud!

Good luck everyone and Happy New Year!!

5) Links is coming when I'll see my computer (will edit)
6) I could arrange at least 2 other reviewers

Personally I'm a big fan of the way of sounding S16 (mainly dac-wise) and I had been waiting for the new S line. I'm curious if there is going be ehe same sounding with some progress where it's already been brilliant.

Thanks!

[LoryWiv]

Exciting, looking forward to reviews. Clarifying question (and apologies if I misunderstood):
 
Above states Balanced Headphone Output:
32 ohms: 8000mW (MAX)
         1000mW（1khz@THD+n 0.001%）
300 ohms:1000mW (MAX)
         246mW（1khz@THD+n 0.001%）
600 ohms: 500mW (MAX)
          120mW（1khz@THD+n 0.001%）
 
But on website product page it is rated at considerable less power output (246 mW balanced). What is the basis of discrepancy?
