For lovers of portable Hi-Res sound, a high-quality portable audio player is essential for an exceptional music experience. It is in this scenario that the Astell & Kern SR35 stands out as a very interesting option. With its sleek design, exceptional sound quality and advanced features, the SR35 builds on the remarkable advances incorporated in the celebrated A&norma SR25 MKII to enhance its already spectacular performance and take the price/performance ratio in mobile Hi-Res to new heights of excellence. Thus, for the first time in the series to which it belongs, the A&norma SR35 includes Cirrus Logic's CS43198 D/A converter, highly reputed among audio purists for the extraordinary precision and spatiality it brings to music, in Quad DAC configuration.

Improved internal circuits, outstanding results
