Astell & Kern AK Jr. Digital Audio Player

Mark Fleischmann has posted a review of the Astell & Kern AK Jr. digital audio player ($499) at Sound and Vision. His conclusions:

“en tougher with odd content choices—especially, as it turned out, the Beethoven symphony. If memory serves, the AK Jr seems a bit more dispassionate, and less euphonic, than either the original AK100 or its step-up siblings that I’ve tested. But it’s more truthful than schematic, and definitely don’t file it under ruthlessly revealing. It’s another winner from a company whose reputation as a class act of the high-end music-player field is well earned.”
