Take your high-resolution music anywhere you go
Aune BU2 turns your smartphone into a master tape-level decoding player. Aune BU2 is equipped with a high-performance dual DAC chipset with two ES9318 DAC chips of the latest generation. Just by connecting the Aune BU2 to your smartphone, you can easily enjoy the decoding of high-resolution audio signals. You can also connect your smartphone to the BU2 wirelessly via Bluetooth, or to a Windows/Mac PC.
High-Resolution PCM & DSD Decoding
The dual high-performance DAC chipset in Aune BU2 brings excellent audio signal decoding characteristics to this unit. It can decode high-resolution 32bit/768kHz PCM and Native DSD512 signals. It maintains a lower noise floor, higher dynamic range, and cleaner background in the output signal.
Four independent amplifiers to maximize the potential of the Aune BU2
The AUNE BU2 features the reliable low ripple positive and negative pump power circuits of the classic B1 headphone amplifier. With dual ES9318 Sabre DAC chips and four independent amplifiers, the Aune BU2 can easily provide the drive power you need for your favorite IEMs and headphones.
Dual Low-Jitter Crystal Oscillators for Digital Audio Clock Synchronization
Aune Audio, the technology giant behind many successful desktop-grade clock systems, has implemented two low-jitter 45M/49M crystal oscillators that are synchronized with the DAC chip by a USB chip to ensure a properly synchronized audio chain in your pocket. In addition, it can be used as a standalone device.
Accurate Volume Control with R2R Volume Technology
The Aune BU2 features Dynamic Volume Control Technology, which consists of an electronic switch and R2R ladder network. At low volume levels, R2R provides subtle volume control with a precisely matched resistor array. This allows for precise volume control for IEMs/headphones with different impedances.
Multi-Function Knob Button
There is also a button hidden under the volume knob; all settings and controls of the Aune BU2 can be done with this volume knob only.
