Astell&Kern AK380 Digital Audio Player-DAC

June 25, 2015

Steven R. Rochlin has posted a review of the Astell&Kern AK380 digital audio player-DAC ($3499) at Enjoy the Music. His conclusions:

“The ultimate portable media player for recording/mastering sound quality is the Astell&Kern AK380 hands down, everything else is settling for a compromise. When it comes to transparency, accuracy and the ability to drive a wide variety of headphones and IEMs the AK380 is clearly the winner here. Add in the fun extras such as a dock with true balanced XLR output plus a disc ripper and you have a seamlessly integrated ecosystem fit for a King.”
