Astell&Kern Kann Max Digital Audio Player by Addicted To Audio
Providing you with audiophile-quality sound in a compact and portable form factor, the limited edition MUD KANN MAX High-Resolution Portable Audio Player from Astell & Kern sports four stages of gain and an ultrahigh output of 15 Vrms while delivering up to 13 hours of continuous playback. Audio is kept clean and pure with balanced 2.5mm and 4.4mm outputs as well as an unbalanced 3.5mm, which all use micro relays to keep them physically separated. For improved quality and durability, the outputs have a gold PVD coating to minimize noise. KANN MAX can perfectly drive even the most sophisticated headphones with high impedance, previously possible with a stationary headphone amplifier. To help match the full depth of original audio recordings, the KANN MAX has been given quad ESS ES9038Q3M DACs. An analog volume controller delivers rich dynamic range without loss. Separate power supplies have been used for each audio block divided into DAC, volume, and amp. Through this design, the interference ripple noise of the DC-DC power supply is removed, thereby minimizing noise that is usually amplified by the op amp. KANN MAX is equipped with Bluetooth 5.0 and support for 24-bit aptX-HD and LDAC codecs. The BT Sink function offers a wealth of flexibility by allowing you to transmit wireless audio from another device or streaming audio from the KANN MAX directly to Bluetooth speakers.

Richard at Audiologica was always available to talk & his response times to any issue were swiftly dealt with, highly recommend. Found the Kann Max to be immaculately engineered & not sharp to the touch on corners as some reviewers have said, but stunningly sharp, in looks. It does take some burning in to smooth out the edgy detailed sound & to establish a solid blue-tooth connection to phone. After some burn in time, the sound is warmer full bodied & punchy with an awesome base underpinning the scale & spectrum of the tonal ranges. I would say the sound is to my ears, smooth & polished, with a taught base that still gives many textured layers, not so organic, neutral or flat, but be ready for an exciting informative listen which will have you captivated for hours ... MoreRichard at Audiologica was always available to talk & his response times to any issue were swiftly dealt with, highly recommend.

I have only had this piece of kit about four days and there are so many features I will be playing with it for weeks to come.Most important is the sound which is why any one would buy a player. It is much deeper , more natural and clearer than anything else I have heard.In the shop I was able to partner with a pair of Focal headphones ( these are about £1200) but what a sound.
