How is this compared to a Schiit Stack and the Objective 2 + ODAC?
Thanks.

JediPacmanI only compared it to Shiit Stack and Jotunheim with DAC.
I think that Aune X1S + Aune X7S give a better sound than either of those.
Jotunheim is in a similar class of sound. The difference is that Jotunheim has more bass, less treble, narrower soundstage. In a side by side comparison, Aune stack has a more clear, detailed sound, a bit more expensive sound, if I may.
If you separate Jotunheim and Aune and keep one at home and one in the office for example, you'll be fine with any item.
Shiit Stack I didn't like at all. It sounded muddy, unclear, puffed. I exaggerate, of course, but no way I would recommend Shiit Stack.
If you only want to go with one item (~ $200), go for Aune X1S. I had to get used to its rather light sound (a lot of treble). But it's very good in my opinion.
