DinoJoeAune is a chinese company and I believe it's also made in china. http://en.auneaudio.com/index.php?s=Home/Article/detail/id/132.html
The X7s is a much more powerful and balaced class A amp (no dac). Using the XLR and/or high gain you will be able to drive the hardest to drive headphones, very good quality amp.
The X1s is a good budget amp and dac. May* not be powerful enough for the hardest to drive headphones (example: ether flows, t50 rp), but will handle mostly anything else. Good vs things like the schiit stack or objective+odac in this price range.
The amp is more important than the dac, but the x1s does have a good dac, just wish this drop was for the S6.
Z0d1AcHaha... Aune is a Chinese company. What Chinese company doesn't make everything in China? You can almost say what company doesn't manufacture in China?
