I did call Pass Labs up. From a functional and voltage output standpoint, the units are the same. Obviously in the larger chassis there is an opportunity to open up the circuit layout, since there is more room. It was explained to me that the style of capacitor may have changed, but again, a large part of this difference is cosmetic, in the size and type aluminum used in the chassis. They do a lot of offshore business, and this market wanted the full size chassis. Plus, the Aleph Ono had an internal power supply, so obviously there is a difference there.

Cheers!

I got the same info from Pass. The person I spoke to told me that on his own system at home he ran both the X-1 and X-ONO off one original small power supply and didn't hear any difference, and that if he had, all he had to do was take one or two larger power suppies home. At one point I ran both the X-1 and X-ONO off one smaller power supply (space reasons) and I certainly didn't hear any differnce.
I too bought the XONO and X-1 from Audio Logic. I would say they are ultra quiet compared to my old Audible Illusions. sounds great with great material.
