🎵 High Resolution Audio Player - Astell&Kern A&Norma SR25 in Moon Silver Review

As many have written here, the player is spectacular. But the design fell victim to ergonomics - sharp edges seriously complicate life. Personally, after 30 minutes of use, my palm hurt. The assembly of my copy let us down - the plastic audio outputs are fixed crookedly relative to the holes in the case. And if you insert a 3.5 jack, you can see how it is deflected relative to the vertical axis (pictured). In general, in terms of assembly, I expected impeccability, but received a certain level…

The cover is a little pricey. But there is an urgent need for it - otherwise you will soon say goodbye to sharp beautiful corners and ribs)

It took a long time to choose players - my first was Zune, then ipod, Hi-Fi man 601. Which served for 8 years, but after 2 battery changes and button play, I decided to upgrade. I bought a Fiio M7 model, I was very pleased, but I wanted something more. According to reviews, I chose Fiio X7 III - the sound is nothing, flat. Horror firmware - Chinese phone level from 2022 with lags, brakes and application crashes. Despite this, Fiio has the best player both in technology and for android. After…

I took it for a temporary replacement while my main player is being repaired. But I'll leave it - I really liked this baby!

The player evokes strong emotions. Headphones must match, be approximately in the same price category, for example, plus or minus 50% of the price of the player. I installed . Music so that sometimes from the old collection I can listen to something on the player that does not have better recordings - they also become more interesting to sound. I also ordered another balanced cable to the headphones to continue the experiments.

Got pros: Player design, you can just look at it from all sides Sound - balanced, neutral, high detail, wide stage. Has cons: The player's amplifier will not be able to drive high-impedance headphones.

Pros: High sound quality, stable AO performance, relatively large output power Got cons: No layout of files into tracks via x. Cue, no coaxial digital output, closed android that does not allow installing additional software, no 4.4 mm balanced output

Having changed the fio line of the first generation and two Cayin N5ii (one with the IIs index) and tired of multiple software and hardware glitches (the 2.5 / 3.5mm output periodically falls off, the audio priority mode turns on by itself, etc.), I decided see something new and beautiful. The choice fell on this subject. In total, I listened to him and suitable reinforcing headphones for about 4 hours. The comparison was with Fio M11 and M11pro, A&K Kann (first version) The sound most went to…

Despite the shortcomings, I use it with pleasure. Some pros: I really liked the player, I bought it for myself. The sound is very pleasant, I listen with sony xba-z5, I don’t want to pull it out of my ears at all. Assembly pleases. The size and shape make it easy to carry in your pocket, not buggy at all. Cons: But there is one fly in the ointment in this barrel of honey. This screen matrix. All the players that I have looked at, and looked at three iconic music stores, have burning dots on the

I listen through 2.5 mm with fiio fh3 - I really like the sound, I recommend it based on the combination of characteristics, because I didn’t make much comparison in terms of sound quality when buying (but I bought it for 43 thousand more, so at the current price tag I won’t take it as a competitive judge) Pros below: Good sound, fits comfortably in the hand, high autonomy, so far there has not been a single "glitch" Cons below: Programs are only from the "white" list (especially felt after the

In general, very satisfied. A good thing. Got pros: Sound. I'm not a sound professional, I was guided by the fact that HI-FI recognized him as the player of the year in sound. What can I say - before that I used Cowon and FIIO. Now I hear the part of each instrument, the sound is definitely better. The bass is interesting - the bass is clear and precise. At the same time, the composition itself goes without amplification of the bottoms at all. That is, as if a separate tool is taken and only it

Product with wonderful sound quality. I was surprised that there is no way to connect to my phone via bluetooth for tethering. Instead, I need to create a Wi-Fi connection. The interface is clunky but intuitive enough. Some controls do not work with the preinstalled Tidal app, e.g. B. the car mode and the ability to download music to the player. I haven't downloaded the available Tidal app, I've heard that downloads can be saved to the player, but I don't know if auto mode is available for…

This product exceeded my expectations. I used to sit in the middle of my theater to really enjoy the music, but with good headphones this beats the sound quality and fidelity I get from my Martin Logans. I sat there for two to three hours listing new details on songs I've been listening to for ten years. This is the experience of working with standard files when HD content is not yet loaded. You can't get your playlist from Apple, but you can easily create a playlist on this device. I…

To me sound quality is more important than anything else and it delivers high frequencies that are smooth and beautiful, mids are warm, precise, smooth and punchy. The bass is amazing with deep lows. Had the rest of the experience matched the sound quality this would have been a 5 star rating. The worst thing about the SR 25 is the user interface, especially with third-party apps like Qobuz, the quad-core processor can't handle loading content and the app feels clunky and unresponsive. That…
