Astell&Kern Launches New R-2R DAP and IEMs at High End Munich 2023

[Another Audiophile]

What's next? The revival of Sony Trinitron? (Just kidding)

 

[DAPpower]

Damn, that's pretty cool A&K.
Oversampling mode as well as a NOS mode as well!

 

[slumberman]

Looking forward to testing this in Munich!!!

 

[ThanatosVI]

Looking forward to try them at the show.
Especially the DAP, would love a comparison to the Cayin N7

yes. And offline music can be stored to internal memory or microSD card.

The SE300 includes support for the most popular music streaming services including Tidal, Qobuz, Amazon Music, Apple Music, and Spotify and is Roon Ready certified.

How does the sound quality compare to the Kann Max or SE3000?

 

[qsk78]

Well, I see it as a potential SE180 upgrade in case it outperforms the SEM4 module. We will see...

Are these portable R2R dac's really comparable with desktop units? I've red a bit on the Hifiman one but am reluctant to purchase them.

 

[qsk78]

Portable is portable...

 

[R7photo]

Does this have latest operating systems same as sp3000 and sr35

Power output?

Thx Jason
