aune N7 (DAC Edition) Class-A Headphone Amp and USB DAC, Pre-amp, Pure Class-A Fully-Discrete Fully Balanced, 6.35mm/4.4mm, Twin JFET, XLR/RCA Preamp Out, for DAC/Active Speaker/Home Audio
The N7 DAC Edition (hereinafter referred to as “N7D”) is a compact class-A fully-discrete headphone amplifier and USB DAC, featuring twin JFET input, a fully-balanced four-channel R2R electronic volume control, dual-level Class A current adjustment, dual gain settings, and an independent Class-A preamp function. Delivering authoritative drive and a rich, high-fidelity sound with exceptional musicality, the N7D effortlessly powers all kinds of headphones and IEMs. Whether directly connected to a computer, smartphone, or tablet, or used as a standalone headphone amp alongside a separate DAC, the N7D fulfills all roles, making it a high-performance centerpiece of a modern desktop Hi-Fi system
[Digital Audio Hub] Dual CS43198 DAC chips; PCM 384kHz DSD256. The sound is transparent, natural, and rich in detail. USB-C serves as the sole digital input, allowing for direct plug-and-play compatibility with Windows/macOS computers, iOS/Android smartphones, or tablets, delivering a high-resolution playback experience. Also retains full analog input functionality of the N7, supporting RCA/XLR to receive analog signals from an external DAC for amplification, or outputting via RCA/XLR to active speakers. This dual capability serves both as a headphone amp and a preamp, making the N7D a versatile companion for music listening, audio production, and daily desktop enjoyment
[Twin JFET, Tube-Like Sound] JFET has high input impedance and a smooth, tube-like sound signature. The N7D utilized not just JFETs. It’s a pair of matched twin JFETs packaged together—ensuring consistent temperature rise and stable midpoint voltage, making it the ideal input stage for amplifiers
[Class-A Dual-Level Adjustable Current] Features a specially designed dual-level Class-A bias current adjustment for the output stage, keeping the amplifier’s outputs in true Class-A operation. Class-A amplification delivers silky-smooth, full-bodied audio with naturally warm and lush tonality
[Dual-Gain Settings for All Headphones, From IEMs to Over-Ears] The N7D offers two gain settings to suit different output requirements. With the low gain setting, the amplifier maintains its transistors precisely in the Class-A linear region—ideal for delivering exquisitely controlled power for sensitive IEMs with finesse. The high gain setting delivers up to 6.5 W output, providing authoritative drive for demanding full-size headphones
[R2R Electronic Volume Chip, Accurate and Balanced | Premium Hi Fi Components] The N7D uses two R2R electronic volume chips from JRC, paired with dedicated op amps, to form a four channel balanced volume control chain. This ensures high precision control, excellent left–right channel balance, an extensive soundstage, and accurate imaging. | We’ve meticulously selected Hi-Fi components from global top-tier brands: electrolytic capacitors, ceramic capacitors, organic film capacitors, communication-grade PCB... Every choice serves the sound
