ASTELL&KERN

SA700 Portable Hi-Res Audio Player

The Astell & Kern SA700 Hi-Res Audio Player is an evolution of technology and design that deliver the ultimate sound to Astell & Kern original design and sensibility. By taking the original design of the AK120 and redesigning it into a simple but refined form, the SA700 features the latest technology to produce deeper and stronger sound not found in other products, bringing you premium sound that's close to the original recording.

Deeper, Stronger Sound
The SA700 offers the optimal condition to deliver perfect original sound. It's capable of bit-to-bit playback up to 32bit 384kHz and native DSD playback up to 11.2MHz, delivering detailed, distortion-free sound just as the artist intended. You can immerse yourself in your music without worrying about its affected quality, so you can enjoy it to the fullest.

Retro Design
The SA700 uses stainless steel, which is corrosion-resistant and durable, providing maximum material strength and beauty. Stainless steel is used because it provides the perfect sound - it delivers both luxury and balanced, clean sound. The wheel protector is designed to reveal the LED lighting and the lower microSD slot uses the Astell&Kern 1st generation sliding door system, further enhancing the retro look and feel.

Ultra Portable
The SA700 is designed to be the perfect size for one-handed operation. It's optimised for portability so it can be held in one hand with the front 4.1-inch touch display and all the side control buttons and volume wheel easily accessible. With control in one hand, the SA700 gives you the best possible environment to focus on getting lost your music.

Dual DAC
The SA700 is the first DAP to use a AK4492ECB Dual DAC to give a new sound signature. AKM's AK4492ECB is a DAC that aims to achieve the best performance in the industry by utilizing the technology obtained by developing AK4497EQ. It has a lower power consumption and similar audio performance compared to AK4497EQ, making it the best DAC for a portable DAP.
