X8 is a small rock and has proper performance in a small device that can handle high-resolution formats and has a balanced signal path to your devices for best sound quality. It uses proprietary FPGA technology and supports music up to PCM768 / DSD512 (USB) 384K / DSD512 (COAX). X8 can be used as a pure DAC for your preamplifier, but can also act as a preamplifier itself as it has variable output, and as I said here we also find the balanced TRS output.
X8 fits just as perfectly in the hi-fi rig as a partner at the computer corner to drive your active speakers and more...
With its 7 filter modes, you can influence the sound curve according to personal taste and liking. In addition, you can also upgrade your X8 with a separate OP-amp, an intervention that goes very quickly and can contribute a big leap in sound quality, but also a way to change the sound image to suit your installation and personal taste. Yes, you can also change the power supply to a Aune XP2!
The X8 offers a performance that is unusual for the price range from the start, but you have great opportunities to upgrade it along the way. An X8 is thus an economically smart choice that can be a faithful hifi partner for many years, even when the upgrade devil sets in.
Below are instructions for replacing the OP-Amp.

Costs that will be charged to the customer are the shipping to the customer and the return shipping to us at MYC HiFi. For return approval, the item must be returned in new condition and in the original packaging.
Regarding speakers, be aware that speakers may need a long recording time to come into their own. After a couple of hours you can usually get a taste of what to expect, but a speaker deserves 100h+ before serious listening. The speakers we sell with ribbon tweeters need several hundred hours before they start to sing. So feel free to leave the speakers on around the clock so you can quickly accumulate hours.
If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact us.
- Buy & Try applies to goods that are normally kept in stock and not to order goods, unless otherwise agreed.
