The P1 by Astell&Kern features premium sound playback of a wide variety of music formats, including bit-perfect high-resolution audio up to 32-bit/384kHz PCM and DSD256 and is tuned by the high-resolution audio experts at Astell&Kern. The compact, one-handed design of the P1 allows users to have a lossless music experience while working out at the gym, running, walking around the neighborhood, or commuting. With an octa-core processor, the P1 provides a smooth, fluid user interface with up to 20 hours of continuous music playback.

The P1 features two ESS ES9219Q SABRE DACs in a dual-mono configuration, providing a dedicated DAC chip to the right and left channels. The dual-DAC structure creates a perfectly balanced circuit to deliver vivid sounds that are true to the original. The P1 by Astell&Kern also has a dedicated AMP circuit, based on Astell&Kern’s TERATON ALPHA sound solution. The TERATON ALPHA AMP ensures sound clarity and broad spatial resonance with its design technology. With it, you can catch the faintest sounds of instruments you could not hear before.

Dual-band Wi-Fi and Google Play Store support allow users to download and install the most popular music streaming apps and easily stream their favorite music. With 64GB of internal memory and support for microSD cards up to 2TB, you have plenty of space to store music you own or download tracks from streaming services to listen to in offline mode.

Q1, Our latest Collaboration IEM with DITA Audio ($349)

Q1_email.jpg


Astell&Kern, a global leader in high-resolution audio players and accessories, announces a new collaborative IEM with DITA Audio, the Q1.

The Q1 is a hybrid In-Ear Monitor, featuring DITA’s new PM1+ 9.8mm dynamic driver with brass housing and a single Knowles balanced armature driver. Keeping with DITA's tradition of custom-building cables for every earphone, the Q1 is equipped with DITA’s improved MOCCA cable utilizing conductors made by Cardas in the USA. The custom-built MOCCA cable is constructed of 32 strands of Cardas conductors per cable, double the amount of conductors found in the original Project M’s MOCCA cable and includes both 4.4mm balanced and 3.5mm single ended connecting plugs, ensuring support for any audio source.

Also included with the Q1 is an ACTIVO x DITA branded mini Tanos Systainer case. Five different sizes of final Type-E eartips with final Audio case ensure the perfect fit.

The new IEM collaboration brings together years of expertise in the audio industry between Astell&Kern and DITA, culminating in the perfect earbud match for the recently released P1 by Astell&Kern Digital Audio Player.

So that's a no then:rolling_eyes:
I concur with your translation.

That said, A&K didn’t say you can’t be creative. The way I’d do it is use a VPN to access Amazon USA, set up an account for US purchases and set the mailing address to a US -> UK reshipper. You’d pay for the shipping cost from US to UK plus any tariffs, so I guess it probably isn’t worth it unless the UK A&K dealer is a lot higher than the US bundle price

You are correct, I just don't get why they don't offer the deal worldwide. It can't help sales. I am interested in this but it irks me to know its cheaper elsewhere and now i probably won't buy.

Kind of a "cutting off your nose to spite your face" situation methinks. Vote with your $, er...£.

I received the bundle the other day and put the IEM and DAP through its places. I compared to Project M, as SonyZX07 DAP, as well as AK PA10 amp paired with P1. For the price, very very impressive. Tonality is similar to Project M, but smoother taking out some sharpness. DAP for the price is a pocket masterpiece. I paired the Q1 with SP3000T (tube mode) this am and I would have guessed the price of the IEM to be closer to a kilobuck, it’s that good. Very well tuned, bass, mids, highs work in perfect harmony with excellent coherency.
