For many people, smartphones have replaced a number
of devices, including portable players. But if you are a connoisseur of quality
sound and when listening to your favorite compositions in uncompressed format
you want to enjoy every detail, then the choice in favor of an individual
player is obvious. For those who need such a device, Astell & Kern
announced the launch of a new KANN model in Russia. Despite the rather
cumbersome dimensions, many authoritative foreign publications have already
noted the high quality of Astell & Kern KANN sound.
Astell & Kern KANN uses a new line-out circuit,
which provides four levels of output signal and the possibility of adjustment,
which was previously unavailable. A built-in amplifier is enough to "swing"
both high-impedance and low-ohmic headphones. In addition, the player is
equipped with a four-pin 2.5-mm balanced output (2 V) and supports the playback
of DSD-files directly, without conversion. All this had a positive effect on
the sound, making it more natural and detailed.
Astell & Kern KANN also comes with a dual memory
card slot and support for fast charging. Out of the box, users can access 64 GB
of internal memory, but it can be expanded with two 256 GB memory cards each.
Built-in battery capacity of 6200 mAh is enough for 15 hours of continuous
music playback. Fast charging technology allows you to get up to 6.5 hours of
music playback in just 1 hour of recharging.
The cost of the new Astell & Kern KANN on the
Russian market is 69,990 rubles.
