Product Description
Powerful but compact, the Aune B1S portable headphone amp makes a great pairing for high-end digital audio players when you’re trying to drive more demanding headphones. It features a class-A amplifier, a spec generally reserved for pricier desktop amplifiers Read More

jgp1212So cool, I too have the mark IIIs with an X3 but my amp is an xduoo X5!
My xduoo x5 is starting to fail really hard and I wonder if a b1S would be an upgrade or a downgrade
So I actually organized the tour of this on Head Fi! Super excited to see MassDrop pick this up.
At this price this is really a super easy recommendation. Performance wise this is about as close to a portable tube as you'll get... without shelling out 500-600 on an actual portable tube unit. The resolve is excellent, and it'll even drive some new gen planars nicely! Overall it's pretty spacious with a slight mid-centric sound, but overall excellent extension from top to bottom!

Priced at $229 the Aune B1S certainly proves it self an amazing value! In stock as of this writing from both Amazon and Penon Audio.
Even better is the $169 price here on MassDrop! I highly recommend you guys grab this. At this price point there is very few amps that will perform better than this one!!!!
Non the less check out the article on my Blog! It reads a lot nicer, and has some pictures.

Thanks a lot really.... 😎
One last question. May I??
Is it true that if accidentally you change the current button from one setting to another while B1s is turned on this act may damage permanently and for good B1s??
Have read about that recently...
Thanks again....
alexandrosSadly I do not have any experience in that manner, I do many product reviews so I'm likely more careful than your average consumer. Hence, I've never accidentally changed either the voltage or current gain before.
Still Aune never mentioned this to us, and when we did the product review tour no one had issues with what you've described. I in fact still have the touring unit and it works 100%, same as it did fresh out the box
