Description: The Future of Analogue Sound - SE300 A&futura from Astell& Kern is a product line that represents Astell& Kern’s ceaseless efforts for innovation. SE300, the fourth model in the A&futura range is a premium digital audio player that inherits this identity and expands the scope of sound with an entirely new implemented technology. A&futura SE300 is equipped with an ultra-refined R-2R DAC, Class A/AB dual amps born with our proprietary TERATON ALPHA technology, and for the first time a self-developed FPGA optimized technology. With these unrivalled components, it offers the true sound philosophy and technology of Astell& Kern. Immerse yourself into the true analogue sound that the SE300 produces with Class-A AMP and R-2R DAC technologies, for the first time in an Astell& Kern player. Fully Discrete 24bit R-2R DAC To ensure the A&futura SE300 audio player better reproduces analogue sounds, Astell& Kern set out to combine the DAC and AMP sections for the first time during the initial design phase. The SE300 comes supplied with an R-2R DAC, instead of a Delta-Sigma DAC that is most commonly used in other audio players. R-2R DAC, also known as Ladder DAC, as it arranges resistors in a ladder form, and offers natural yet dynamic Hi-Fi sounds, but it is extremely technical and difficult to execute as it requires complex refined resistor units and hard to manage current controls. However, despite these technical challenges, after several years of development and a lot of trial and error, Astell& Kern has managed to overcome this and create a new analogue sound. In the process, Astell& Kern has meticulously selected each and every one of the 96 ultra-precision resistors and finalized our R-2R DAC technology. SE300 takes us one step closer to realizing analogue sound from a digital source and is the result of a long journey taken by Astell& Kern with uncompromising craftsmanship to find the ultimate sound solution. Realization of 24-bit Decoding with R-2R DAC The R-2R DAC within the SE300 arranges 48 pairs (23x R and 25x 2R) of 96 ultra-precision resistors to create analogue signals, in turn realizing true Hi-Fi 24-bit decoding. Ultra-precision resistor Design, the Key to Hi-Fi Sound It is key to total the accurate current value with resistors that have the smallest error ranges in order to create Hi-Fi sound with an R-2R DAC. To realize this, Astell& Kern inspected each specifically selected ultra-precision resistor of 0.01% error range to complete the design of SE300. Ultra-precision TCR10 Specifications To create Hi-Fi sound without distortions within such an extreme precision design, Astell& Kern analysed and preconceived any potential impacts that may be caused by changes in temperature. The SE300 comes with special *TCR10 specifications to minimize the changes in the 0.01% resistor error range. * TCR10: 10 ppm/| ?? Low-Temperature Coefficient of resistor Supporting Class A/AB Dual AMP Mode The SE300 comes with a Dual AMP mode. Class A amplification that creates low distortions and natural sounds and a Class AB amplification that plays dynamic sounds with high efficiency so users can pick and choose from the two amps according to their listening preferences and genre of music that they are playing. Experience the true sounds that only Astell& Kern can deliver with the SE300 that comes with an R-2R DAC and Class A/AB Dual AM Ps born from Astell& Kern’s unique proprietary designs that reduces power consumption whilst enhancing output and removing noise. Class A AMP mode Class A AMP is an analogue amp that offers the best linear output, amplifying signals without distortion or loss of signal and providing soft, warm, and natural sounds. The refined analogue signal created directly by the R-2R DAC, reproduces a sound closest to the original analogue audio through the organic and powerful Class A AMP. Class AB AMP Mode Class AB AMP is an analogue amp that offers a powerful output with the added benefit of high efficiency. This presents dynamic and crisp sounds with less harmonic distortion. 2-Step Gain Mode for the Perfect Hi-Fi Experience For seamless use of sensitive IE Ms and hard to drive headphones, a device must provide suitable output, respective of the connected device’s specification. The SE300 supports a 2-step Gain Level mode to create the prefect match for a wide range of headphones and IE Ms, maintaining an optimal sound output. The two-step gain setting with " Normal" and " High Gain" modes can generate a high current output to create a powerful sound and excellent driver control. With up to 6 Vrms from the balanced connections, driving high-impedance headphones has never been easier. TERATON ALPHA, The Essence of A&K Audio Technologies It would not have been possible to combine the exquisitely designed R-2R DAC with ultra-precision resistors and Class A AMP, which was considered impossible to miniaturize, without. 0.000 Astell & Kern SE300 Music Player - shop the best deal online on appliances4.me
