Aune S17 Pro EVO

I was very impressed with the S17 pro EVO. I'm using it as both a headphone amplifier and preamplifier from a Laiv Harmony micro DAC. It's replacing a Graham Slee Solo and IMHO there is a definite improvement.

It has clear and fast sound and has got better since first received

The amp has a Chalkboard Surface that needs constant wiping to keep presentable. Nevertheless, it produces with a Lush Beguiling Sound once I switch off my phone sound settings.

I purchased this to drive my hifi man headphone collection, it's definitely the nicest sounding headphone amp I have and will be staying put in my system, what surprised me the most was when I decided to put it on my eversolo A8 and try it as a preamp. It clearly should say headphone/preamp on the facia because this is also now the best preamp I have tried in my system, it simply brings the music to life, the soundstage is wider and deeper than the standard A8 preamp and has a lush sound that ands clarity and realism. I have a schitt Kara and a ladder bach preamp, this wins them both hands down! Totally blow away by it. Delivy from the store was fast and item was well packed. I can say with confidence you won't be disappointed with Elise audio and if you choose this headphones amp you certainly won't be disappointed with it as a headphone and or preamp. Buy one now and thank me later 👍🏻
