JM AUDIO's TAKE- We now use this amp and the Niimbus US5Pro to tune all of our XTC headphones- they are both that good. We still use the Coffman Lore and Ray Samuel's Apache to confirm all tunings and builds but the Aune A17 and Niimbus will be ones we use to finalize and test all of our custom 32, 64, 300, 580, 780 and 980 ohm headphones with confidence. We also learned from many owners: Please allow at least 2 weeks before critical listening of the A17- many users on the forums report the IC chips and toroidal transformer need at least this period for things to sound their best. The unit is operating in Class A so be considerate for heat ventilation and stacking. We do advise owners buy hockey pucks type feet to place under unit.

The Aune A17 is the flagship of Aune's new A Series, a Master Class desktop headphone amplifier and preamplifier built around true Class A operation and a fully discrete signal path. It is the statement piece of the Aune Audio range, engineered to drive everything from sensitive in ear monitors to the most demanding planar and high impedance headphones without ever leaving Class A.
Where the Aune S17 Pro EVO distilled Aune's Class A expertise into a compact chassis, the A17 removes every constraint: higher voltage rails, more output devices, finer volume control and a power supply architecture designed for stable Class A operation over long listening sessions.
TYPE AND TECHNOLOGY
The A17 is a fully discrete, true Class A headphone amplifier and preamplifier. Its input stage uses a Twin JFET design with two junction field effect transistors in parallel, a topology with voltage controlled behaviour similar to a vacuum tube that gives the signal a full, solid texture from the very first gain stage. A new split power architecture runs the preamplifier stage on high voltage rails of plus or minus 20 V for generous dynamic headroom, while the output stage runs on plus or minus 15 V rails to keep heat in check during extended Class A operation. The output stage places three pairs of power transistors in parallel per channel, lowering output impedance and sharpening transient response, and delivers up to 11,500 mW into 32 ohms. Two current modes combined with four gain settings create a finely graded power range, and a 99 step R2R electronic volume system built on the JRC MUSES72323 chip keeps all four channels precisely matched.
SOUND CHARACTER
The A17 carries Aune's signature warm and refined tonal character into flagship territory. The Twin JFET input lends instruments solid physical presence with a fine luster, while vocals come through delicate, refined and emotionally engaging. Enormous headroom translates into effortless dynamics, firm bass control and a stable, spacious soundstage even in dense passages. With a noise floor of 7 microvolts or lower and THD plus noise of just 0.00045 percent, it stays completely silent behind sensitive in ear monitors yet has the reserves to wake up the hardest loads.
