The Aune S9C Pro is equally adept as both an audiophile calibre DAC with volume control and high-performance headphone amp. Use it with your integrated amp or preamp via XLR or RCA outputs or even directly into your power amp using the built-in volume control and remote. It’s a great value when you consider this alone and then you also have an incredible quality headphone amp with enough power to drive any headphones on the market. So, whether you’re a traditional stereo or a headphone listener, the S9C Pro fits the bill perfectly for both.

- Support for external 10MHz clock
- Twin Field Effect Transistor
- Multi-function knob and Aluminium Remote
- Outstanding build quality
2nd Gen PLL Core & 10MHz Clock Input:
The second generation of the PLL core is a technological breakthrough that enhances the natural and vivid quality of sound. The clock, being the heart of the digital circuit, is perfected with the excellent PLL core and a 10MHz clock input providing an upgrade path via Aune SC1.
Fully-Discrete & Twin JFET:
With headphone jacks of 6.35mm, balanced 4.4mm, and XLR, the S9c Pro is compatible with a wide range of headphones. The fully-discrete amp circuit ensures a fast transient response, while twin JFETs per channel provide high impedance and mellow sound. The ±15V linear power supply delivers up to 5W output power. The 50W toroidal low-ripple analogue linear transformer and a 23,900µF capacitor array provide substantial power, enhancing sound richness.
Aune custom tuning options:
MODE 1 Standard Mode - The S9c Pro works in the state of fast locking and low latency. The sound is neutral and natural.
MODE 2 Pure Mode - The high-performance PLL provides more precise clock signals. In this mode, the performance of the DAC is improved. Higher sound density. Better soundstage.
