Astell&Kern AK100 Mastering Quality Sound (MQS) Portable System
The Astell&Kern; AK100 is the ultimate portable high-fidelity audio system capable of studio Mastering Quality Sound (MQS) support and playback. MQS (24bit, 96kHz -192kHz) is considered as the digital music format with the most amount of information and commonly saved as a lossless 24bit WAV/FLAC format. The difference between MQS and MP3s/CDs (WAV) can be heard and felt because the sound is distortion free because no data loss occurs within the MQS (24bit) source. The Astell&Kern; AK100 does not need external MQS encoding and results in a more refined and pure sound.Features:Bit-to-bit Mastering Quality Sound (MQS) playbackWorld's first portable device equipped with the Wolfson WM8740 24bit/192kHz DACDual MicroSD card slots with 32GB of internal flash memory - 96GB of music storage spaceUse the Astell&Kern; AK100 with or as an external optical DACRefined design w/ integrated volume wheel & brushed aluminum bodyIntuitive user interface experience with touchscreen LCD & control buttonsTechnical SpecsDimensions:2.32" x 3.11" x 0.55" (in)Weight:4.3ozDAC:Wolfson WM8740 (24bit/192kHz)Display:2.4" IPS Touch Screen (320 x 240)Memory:32GB Internal / Dual Micro SD card slots (32 GB each)Audio Formats:WAV/FLAC/MP3/OGG/WMV/APE/AAC/AIFF/ALACBluetooth:3.0/A2DPOutput Level:1.5 VRMSTHD+N:< 0.0008%/1kHz ; < 0.001%/10Hz ~ 20kHzSignal to Noise:110 dBFrequency Response: 0.14 dB/10Hz ~ 20kHzJitter:90 PS
