Astell & Kern AK380 Flagship Portable Hi-Res Music Player
Representing the pinnacle of audiophile perfection in a portable player the Astell & Kern AK380 is as good as it gets! The AK380 is a triumph of design, functionality and performance - produced by Astell&Kern is to keep the sound quality as close as possible to the original for audiophiles who demand the very best.
The AK380 is the first portable hi-res audio player from Astell & Kern supporting native playback of 32-bit/384 kHz PCM high resolution audio files. The new AK380 features two AKM AK4490 DAC chipsets, creating a true Dual-Mono setup that gives clear channel separation, broader dynamic range and wider soundstage. The AK380 can playback up to 32-bit/384kHz PCM and single-rate and double-rate DSD high resolution audio natively, without conversion.
