The second generation of the award-winning A & norma SR25 incorporates the latest in technology to offer a superior level of detail in the reproduction of the most demanding recordings of the moment. On the other hand, the addition of a balanced 4.4 mm headphone jack together with the existing 2.5 mm (balanced) and 3.5 mm (unbalanced), expands the connection options, also providing improvements in parameters as relevant as the sound scene, bass response and the ability to analyze micro-information. Equipped with a quad-core processor and two Cirrus Logic DACs, the A & norma SR25 MKII is compatible, like its predecessor, with “Hi-Res” files encoded in PCM up to 32 bits / 384 kHz and DSD up to DSD256, at the While LDAC and aptX-HD compatibility allows you to enjoy listening at the highest level also without cables. In addition, the new Astell & Kern includes the new Replay Gain function, which evens out the volume level of sound sources up to 24-bit / 192 kHz so that playlists can be listened to without making adjustments on the fly. For its part, the exclusive AK File Drop scheme simplifies file transfer via wireless, while the new BT Sink function facilitates the connection of the A & norma SR25 MKII to an external device via Bluetooth so the music of the latter can be played by the latter.
