Astell & Kern SE100: A&futura Impressions - Reviews

Did some critical listening with my AK T8iE MkII IEM's on my SE100.

Compared identical DSF (2.8MHZ/64fs) and FLAC (24bit/88.2kHz)tracks. The DSF tracks were a few dB louder, but otherwise the sound seemed identical to me. The tracks compared were Dave Brubeck and Miles Davis Jazz; Alison Krauss, Diana Krall, and Tierney Sutton Female vocals; and Dire Straits Rock.

Also compared Balanced and Unbalanced output. To my ears the Unbalanced was a few dB louder and sounded more detailed, had better bass and had a wider sound stage. I used the same tracks for this comparison that I used for the DSF to FLAC comparison.

Just pulled the plug on SE100. Has anyone purchased it directly from AK. How long did they take to process the order and how long did it take to receive your item once they shipped it?

I purchased directly from AK. It took about a day to ship it. I paid for two day shipping and it arrived on time in Texas based on the actual shipment date.
