Astell & Kern SR25 Portable Music Player with Protective Case (Moon Silver/Tan)

This Package Includes SR25 Portable Music Player with Quad-Core CPU and Dual DAC (Moon Silver) Protective Case for SR25 SR25 Portable Music Player with Quad-Core CPU and Dual DAC The SR25 is the second model in the AstellKern Anorma standard line. Beginning with the AK70 AstellKern's goal was to bring high-resolution audio and the AstellKern sound to more music lovers. This goal continued with the successor to the AK70 the Anorma SR15 and now evolves further as the SR25 a premium product that fully embraces AstellKern's philosophy and technology now available to the masses. The SR25 is the latest answer to our never-ending question of "How do we get closer to the original sound the artist intended?" Features Quad-Core CPU Cirrus Logic CS43198 Dual DAC 32bit/384kHz Bit-to-bit Playback 3.6" 720x1280 Touch Display Aluminum Body 21 Hours Continuous Playback Perfect Circuit Design for the Highest Sound Quality Proper playback of DSD256 and 32bit/384kHz digital audio requires a high-performance CPU and fast memory speed along with an audio path suitable for high-speed signal processing. Optimizing the length of the audio path is a very important part as failing to properly do so can create a time delay between the signals resulting in sound abnormalities. With the SR25 the AstellKern team developed a completely different PCB design from the existing SR15 to process the high-speed signals where required resulting in audio path lengths that are the same allowing for super-high-resolution sound without any delay. Furthermore newly designed audio patterns and power circuits for distortion-free signal transmission and noise rejection are applied to each channel. The result is an Ultra-Low Noise Filter that allows you to experience AstellKern's flawless sound with Zero Noise on the SR25. Embark on a Musical Journey That Lasts the Entire Day If the power supply's stable design and efficiency are not properly taken into consideration the input/output voltage difference becomes large and when the output current is large the output voltage can become unstable. This leads to excessive noise being generated which can be a major cause of poor sound quality. In addition poor power efficiency will result in a shorter playback time. The SR25 set a big challenge for the AstellKern engineering team add the longest playback time of any previous AstellKern product while maintaining the signature AstellKern quality sound and a low-noise floor. In the SR25 the team not only applied highly efficient components but they focused on developing circuit optimizations to get the most out of their performance. The result is up to 21 hours of continuous playtime more than double the previous generation SR15 with no compromise in sound quality. No need to worry about battery life while on your daily journey just have fun on your Music Trip with the SR25. No Compromise on Sound Even When Connected Wirelessly In addition to 24-bit music playback via aptX HD Bluetooth as in previous AstellKern players the SR25 adds LDAC support to give users more options to listen to high-resolution audio wirelessly. Now you can enjoy AstellKern's high-quality sound when paired with Bluetooth earphones headphones and speakers. AstellKern's Exclusive Metalworking Technology

Astell & Kern KANN ALPHA Dual DAC Music Player with Leather Protective Case (Black)

This Package Includes Kann Alpha Dual DAC Quad-Core Music Player with Bluetooth (Onyx Black) Protective Leather Case for the Kann Alpha Kann Alpha Dual DAC Quad-Core Music Player with Bluetooth (Onyx Black) The Power House KANN ALPHA the third product in the KANN series of Digital Audio Players. While the goal of the AstellKern KANN line is to provide ultra-high power output to drive any headphone or IEM KANN ALPHA has not forgotten the essence of being a portable DAP so you can enjoy a near-perfect sound experience wherever you are. Features: The first AstellKern DAP to feature a 4.4mm balanced output Complete separation of balanced lines to provide noise-free output Crosstalk of 141dB and top-notch audio performance through a complete circuit redesign Powerful 12Vrms ultra-high-output support 14 hours of continuous playback Equipped with the latest version of Bluetooth Bluetooth 5.0 Artistic design and ultra-precision metal shaping technology that AstellKern has perfected First DAP to Feature 4.4mm Balanced Output Port Completely Noise-Free The newly introduced feature of the 4.4mm balanced output port is exciting however the most important part is how AstellKern implemented it. Unlike other manufacturers products KANN ALPHA has physically separated the 2.5mm and 4.4mm outputs using micro relays. When 2.5mm and 4.4mm structures are connected only to the mute circuit they do not prevent noise interference that may occur because each signal is not properly blocked. KANN ALPHA boasts noise-free output because they built in an independent structure that completely blocks interference from outputs that are not being used and to be switched off therefore preventing the noise from occurring. Gold PVD Coating Method In order to minimize contact noise from the output a gold PVD coating method is applied to the headphone connector instead of the typical rings used by other products. This improves both design and function. By adopting NDICS' Pentaconn 4.4mm connector KANN ALPHA not only satisfies the requests of users but the implementation boasts excellent quality and durability. The Highest Level Of Channel Separation (Crosstalk) KANN ALPHA boasts excellent performance measurements for crosstalk. Channel crosstalk is how much signal leaking there is between the L and R channels. The higher the crosstalk number the better the separation between channels and the deeper and wider the sense of space that can be felt. As evident with the newly developed audio circuit design KANN ALPHA features a never before seen Crosstalk measurement of -141dB(High Gain) which is unmatched by any other portable audio products in its class. Powerful 12Vrms Output With 14 Hours of Continuous Playback KANN ALPHA supports the same powerful 12Vrms output as the existing KANN CUBE however the player has been optimized to be more compact. This is achieved through the miniaturization of numerous parts such as resistors and capacitors by rearranging various components and through circuit optimization. This resulted in the modification of more than 60 parts during the development process.
