The Pythagorean augmented fourth, 729/512, may be reached by stacking six perfect fifths (3/2), and reducing by three octaves. It is separated from the 5-limit interval of 64/45 by the schisma (32805/32768), less than 2 cents.

In addition, it can be interpreted as a literal tritone, since it can be made by stacking three whole tones, 9/8.
