X8 XVIII MAGIC DAC FPGA aptX HD LDAC 32bit 768kHz DSD512

Description

The X8 XVIII Magic DAC from Aune is a special edition of the DAC, on the occasion of the 18th anniversary of the brand. This one takes back the idea of the interchangeable AOP as well as the seven available filters, while adding a preamplified TRS balanced output. In addition, this new version also has the available Bluetooth that also benefits from Bluetooth connectivity with support for the high-resolution transmission codecs aptX HD and LDAC.

FPGA

The X8 XVIII allows the decoding of high resolution audio streams up to PCM 32bit 768kHz and DSD512. Using an FPGA specially programmed by Aune, the X8 XVIII offers a precise, dynamic and detailed sound reproduction.

TRS balanced output

In addition to its USB, coaxial and optical inputs and its RCA pre-out and line outputs, the X8 XVIII is now equipped with a balanced preamplified output in 6.35mm TRS format.

Interchangeable AOP

The Aune X8 XVIII takes the concept of the interchangeable AOP. This one is indeed mounted on DIP8 support and accessible under the device. You just have to replace it by another model to adapt the sound reproduction of the DAC according to your audio system and your listening.

Seven available filters

The Aune X8 XVIII provides seven filters. Just like the interchangeable AOP, these allow you to adjust the sound signature of the device according to your desires.
