Astell & Kern AK100 II High Resolution Single DAC Balanced Output 64GB Music Player. A new standard for listening to music was proposed while Astell & Kern were developing the AK100. They recognised that certain aspects of the AK100 needed improvement during research and development for a successor. While considering how to improve the AK100, they realised that there was a difference between measured audio specifications and what the customer felt sounded right. After much deliberation, their development efforts were focused on making the AK100 2nd Generation "feel" right rather than mechanically boosting technical specs. The original AK100 was developed according to audio specification standards, but development of the next-generation AK100 was developed to the "New Standard" of how the music sounds.

Cowon Plenue 1 (P1) High Resolution 'World's Finest DAC' 128GB Music Player. If you want true original HD sound you are going to need a 24bit / 192KHz sound source. The Cowon Plenue P1 is one of the best Hi Res Music Players available, featuring the exceptional Burr-Brown PCM1792A Audio DAC for superb sound quality. The device also features a 3.7 inch AMOLED touchscreen display, 128GB of built-in storage, and a microSD card slot. To burn a 24bit sound recording on to a compact disc (CD), 16bit/44.1kHz down sampling compression is used, this results in distortion of the original sound. To compensate for this distortion the size of the waveform is usually increased. This has a side affect however in the form of clipping and a reduced dynamic range. If this track is then converted into MP3 format additional compression and distortion occurs. For this reason both CD and MP3 format cannot reproduce the original sound recorded in the studio. So buy this Cowon Plenue 1 (P1) High Resolution 'World's Finest DAC' 128GB Music Player Special Edition Now £740.00.
