Abstract: Spotfiy is great and all, but more often than not streaming music means you're only hearing a fraction of the music your favourite artist recorded as you're listening to extremely compressed music files. The Astell & Kern AK70 can change all that. This ma...
SizeThe AK70 is barely larger than the original AK120, which was a bare stretch on what I still consider the best-sized audiophile player of all time. The thing is that today, the AK100 handles like a dog. Slow, with strange interface hiccups, and indefen...
The AK70 is available for around $599/€649 and it is one of my all-time favorite DAPs for on the go. It's small, pocketable, handles well, has a great UI and looks pretty. On top of that you get a very engaging smooth laid back sound signature combined wi...

Amazing Hi, Res performance, Dedicated media controls, Slick interface

Superb audio performance, excellent build, wide format support, extremely flexible in use
Not convenient for use with podcasts, playback not entirely gapless, careful of those corners
Clearly $999 makes the Astell & Kern AK70 an expensive portable music player. But, adjusted for inflation, it's cheaper than an early model iPod was in its day. If you have a library of high resolution music (or even losslessly compressed CD-quality music...
Abstract: Because of the new USB-out function, you now also can connect the AK70 DAP to the Chord Mojo, which everyone except for me, seems to love. I have to admit the setup and connection worked but I just can't get to love Mojo's presentation of sound. The AK70...
