Astell & Kern SR25: The next A&norma player

I might have been right with my guess! :)

There is one more thing I like to add: If form factor stays the same as SR15, I want that screen to get bigger!

Oh, wow, it`s not exactly the same design as SR15! The back is different! Also from the twitter picture it looks slightly bigger (could be wrong though)? Tomorrow we will know more! Exiting! :)

That dac section looks just like the SR15's. My money is on AK just changing up the opamps for a different sound sig and calling it a day.

To be honest, SR15 with better output stage could be a win. My SR15 + Vorzuge amp combo improves the sound a lot. The DAC config in the SR15 has huge potential, but the output stage power is severly lacking.

Battery life is great! Brilliant! Is the size the same as SR15?

Jason, will software features like LDAC (and extension Android 9.0) be added to older devices (e.g. SP2000)?
