Was expecting Beyers, but this is very nice as well.

That was my reaction, too, but the Aune is even more impressive for its rarity and uniqueness.

Is this is sarcasm?  Often hard to tell in text.  If not, thanks for the compliment!  If so, sorry to let you down about the Bayer's, but I had a great time today with the Aune, Amperex 7308 gold pin and Hd 650's.  Enjoying the music is what it's all about anyways, right?

No let down at all...  I'll bet that setup sounds great.

Ill bet!

Hey,so I just fixed my Minimums 7 speakers (replaced the capacitors), and I'm thinking about replacing my cheap 2.1 system on my computer. What cheap $25 speaker amp on amazon is best? The Lepai one?

No sarcasm here; I see the Beyer T1 a whole lot more than the Aune T1.

My current headfi setup. HP Envy15 -> Schiit Modi -> Fiio E09K. Choice of Grado RS1i, SR225i, or AKG Q701. It makes for happy ears :xf_eek:)

Does the little CMoy get any love anymore?

It does when I go to the coffee shop!

Though just with the 225s... I found today that I'm not a fan of how the RS1 sounds through the cmoy. It comes out a bit nasally. Odd that.

I've actually had the same experience when it comes to Grado. Despite the whole lineup being basically equal in efficiency, the low-end stuff really sounds better through a CMoy than the higher-ups.

Ok, I'm having a GIGO moment.... the fault, as it happens, isn't with the CMOY at all.... the DAC/headphone driver on the iPhone just sucks. Plugged my RS1i's directly into the phone, and it's nasally. Plugged the phone through the E09K, where it will have plenty of oomph, and it sounds the same, just louder (and slightly deeper). But, as they say, Garbage In, Garbage Out.
 
Poo.
