Astell&Kern A&futura SE300 Digital Audio Player

A&futura SE300 Digital Audio Player, by Astell&Kern - the future of analogue sound!

Equipped with trailblazing audio technology developed in-house and uncompromising craftsmanship, the fourth model in the A&futura range reproduces an entirely new, natural yet dynamic sound.

Harnessing decades of audio research and development, the A&futura SE300 expands the scope of analogue sound with entirely new audio technology.

A&futura SE300 is built with an ultra-refined R-2R DAC, instead of a Delta-Sigma DAC which is most commonly used in audio players. R-2R DAC, also known as Ladder DAC as it arranges resistors in a ladder form, offers a natural Hi-Fi sound with unrivalled dynamism.

Features

• Fully Discrete 24 bit R-2R DAC for an entirely new, natural yet dynamic analogue sound.
• Equipped with 96 ultra-precision 0.01% & TCR10 resistors the key to Hi-Fi sound in an Ultra-precision resistor Design.
• New Dual AMP (Class A/AB) mode for crisp, dynamic sounds with high efficiency.
• Option for OS (Over Sampling) / NOS (Non-Oversampling) modes, choose between a digital processed signal or pure original untouched sound.
• Implemented self-developed and optimized FPGA technology relaying digital signals to the R-2R DAC through Astell&Kern's proprietary algorithm.
• SE300 comes with a reimagined, crimson-themed, intuitive user interface featuring a new album artwork search function to allow audio connoisseurs to rediscover the joy of the art form.
• Supports Bluetooth 5.0 and LDAC for wireless Hi-Fi sound.
