AUNE T1 (MK1 + MK2) discussion

Of course not, hence why I'm considering the 7308 as well

I see some of the huge valve amps with tubes the size of light bulbs sticking out all over the place and just cringe at the thought of how much it would cost to replace them.

rids57 · 19 Jul 2014 at 20:51

Dammit, I need to get rid of this T1, I'm spending too much time on ebay looking for bargain tubes

Got a pair of Mullard 6DJ8's in the mail this morning - same kind of sound stage as the EH6922 but vocals are smoother and more forward - been listening to Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa ever since getting them.

Atleast you have a aune. I've bought 5 tubes and a nice wooden box from American to store them in and I don't even have a amp to use them in.

You keeping both those tubes?

Psycho Sonny · 20 Jul 2014 at 09:22

What's your tube collection sitting at?

I won't be buying any more but upgrading the AMP side of things then the NAD is my upgrade path

Only the EH6922, 2x 6N23P and 2x Mullard 6DJ8 so far but I am saving my pennies for a pair of HD 650 and a Schiit Vali to be fed by the T1. Because of that I've been showing restraint in pulling the trigger but the 6DJ8's were so cheap it would have been rude not to.

Where from?

rids57 · 20 Jul 2014 at 16:14

I got them off ebay

.:SAmSuNG:. · 30 Jul 2014 at 16:16

Going to finally order a T1 tomorrow. Best I can find a mk2 is £135. This going rate?

rids57 · 30 Jul 2014 at 16:24

yep, they increased the msrp by $15 to cover the new circuitry

.:SAmSuNG:. · 30 Jul 2014 at 16:34

Sorted thanks.

Psycho Sonny · 30 Jul 2014 at 20:22

I paid £120 and got it through flubit

rids57 · 30 Jul 2014 at 20:44

I thought yours was a Mk1

Psycho Sonny · 30 Jul 2014 at 20:50

Nah mk2 I have the upgraded USB etc, and it says mk2 on the box and the front of the unit.

rids57 · 30 Jul 2014 at 21:39

good price in that case, I paid £120 for the Mk1

.:SAmSuNG:. · 5 Aug 2014 at 15:33

nvm figured it out.

.:SAmSuNG:. · 5 Aug 2014 at 18:03

Ok just to confirm what i need to do for set up.

Foobar and wasapi for playback?

How do I know if its outputting 24bit?

Psycho Sonny · 5 Aug 2014 at 18:09

Windows 7 won't let me iirc. I think you need windows 8 but iirc there is no point in 24 bit makes zero difference

rids57 · 5 Aug 2014 at 18:12

I use MusicBee instead of Foobar - supports most things without need for addons

In Windows 8.1 (may be the same for 7 & 8)

1) Right click on the speaker icon in your toolbar and select playback devices
2) Highlight the Aune T1, which may show as SPDIF passthrough and make it default.
3) Select Properties
4) Select Advanced
5) Select your chosen bit depth and sample frequency (24/96)
6) Hit apply and you're done.

.:SAmSuNG:. · 5 Aug 2014 at 18:17

Only have 16 or 32bit option in sample frequency. Just set it to 32bit and works fine. Still on unmodded Q701 and stock tube so far. More air for sure with the Q701's compared to the X1. Thanks though.
