The A&norma sets the standard of Hi-Fi audio for novice listeners. The SR15 is the first model in the A&norma line and is the beginning point of the Hi-Fi Audio experience, allowing you to enjoy the philosophy and technologies of Astell&Kern. The A&Norma SR15 uses two audio DAC chips for a Dual-DAC setup which offer greater presence compared to the inferior DAC chips designed for use in mobile devices. This device has adopted the MasterHIFI class DAC CS43198 for the first time in a portable system which means it’s capable of bringing you even closer to the original sound without distortion when it’s matched with the analogue amp design of Astell&Kern. The A&norma also supports native DSD bit-to-bit and gets one step closer to the Hi-Fi system. It’s also designed to remove distractions from your audio, including noise, distortion and an unintuitive user interface, so you can just focus on getting lost in the music. Play any resolution of digital files bit-to-bit up to 24-bit/192kHz with the SR15. DSD is native up to 64MHz, whilst DSD 128 MHz is converted to PCM for playback. The A&norma SR15 also accommodates 32-bit audio, by downsampling via the SRC (Sample Rate Converter) method. If that’s not enough, equipped with MQA technology, the Astell&Kern A&norma SR15 plays back audio files with the same sound of the original master recording.
