Astell&Kern makes some of the best portable music players on the market, there's no doubt about that. Their A&norma lineup of DAPs is aimed at the entry-level or beginner audiophile. Sure they're still a bit pricey for some, but I'll tell you right now, you won't find this many premium features and performance in any other DAP under a thousand bucks.
No Other Music Player has THIS Quad-DAC Feature [Video]
