AK240 DAC Ultimate portable audio system

The Astell & Kern AK240 Ultimate Portable audio system delivers  sound exactly as the artist had intended for us to hear. Moving from the AK100 to AK120, they decided to provide a Dual DAC setup to create better left and right channel separation with clearer sound quality. They thought the Dual DAC setup would be enough, but while developing the AK240, felt the need to further improve sound quality in order to accurately reproduce the original sound recording. After countless hours of research and testing, they found the answer. The answer was to create both a balanced output and native DSD playback through the Dual DAC setup. Now with the AK240, the sound quality of the original recording. Now with the AK240, they can dare say that they have gotten “that much closer” to the sound quality of the original recording.

256GB of Massive Storage
Astell&Kern has created the AK120 Titan with a storage capacity of 128GB, but in order to support Native DSD, MQS, and massive audio files, we had to come up with the ultimate portable music player with 256GB of storage. With 256GB of internal memory, about 2,500 MQS (24bit/96kHz, 4 minute-long, 90MB) songs can be saved. With the addition of a 128GB microSD card, the AK240 can support up to a total memory capacity of 384GB.
