Astell&Kern A&Futura SE200 Portable High Resolution Audio Player, Moon Silver

First impression it’s a piece of art the design perfectly huh your hand for ease of operations ! Unlike the Kann Cube , it comes with several screen and back protectors but I suggest you can look somewhere else for alternatives as it’s not as well made as one for your phone screen !The player has a unique sound algorithm , quiet different than the Kann Cube ( although the can more powerful with huge amp )I don’t like the new blue menu. It’s quiet harsh for the eyes. I prefer the Kann onesOfcource this is more portable than the KAnn CUbe. So you can move it around with you anywhere you want !Now the KAnn will sit at home

Calidad de implementación excelente, las frecuencias medias y agudas son super detalladas, se siente la textura de cada uno de los sonidos y su microdetalle inclusive con archivos Mp3 320 kbs, es un DAP excelente, mi DAC favorito fue el AKM, la amplificación y su detalle lo hacen mas versátil y divertido para casi todos los generos musicales, el ESS lo dejaría mas para sonidos cálidos y orgánicos como jazz clásico o sinfónico ya que la carga instrumental y de sonido es más orgánica, sin embargo su interfaz me deja un poco decepcionado ya que no es posible instalar mas app de los que el DAP te permite, fuera de eso si lo compras no te decepcionara en cuanto a calidad de sonido y construcción, es una inversión que vale cada centavo. Fue un buen upgrade a mi Fiio M11 pro.

The SE200 is very well built, has an excellent user interface, and sounds fantastic. The option to use either an AKM or ESS DAC is very nice. I've compared the sound between the two quite often and tend to use the AKM DAC more. With either one the sound is very clear, transparent, and precise. The ESS DAC tends to be a bit sharper and more crisp in the high registers than the AKM. The only drawback to it is that it is a little heavy. This is an excellent piece of audio gear to take your music on the go!

Nice and clear sound,but need good headphones too!

The sound quality is very good but the equalizer adjustments are barely perceptible. Based on the recording I like to use an equalizer but the equalizer in this dap has almost no effect.

the firmware was hard to use, almost a complete wast of time because it should be how the manuial said

The sound is excellent, and if you don’t believe it is, you have the ability to tune it to your liking with the different DACs and filter settings. None of the other DAPs out there have this ability as far as I know, not even AKs flagships. You will not be disappointed.

Excellent produit pour l’instant.l’interface d’accès aux fonctions de l’appareil peut encore être améliorée en matière d’ergonomie et de rapidité.
