Astell&Kern KANN ULTRA Portable Music Player

Fueling Your Sound The KANN series is adored by audiophiles all over the world for its performance that focuses on ultra-high output and clear sound. KANN ULTRA, the 5th product in the KANN series, continues the success of the KANN series by providing the highest output of any Astell&Kern player, the inclusion of Triple Output Sound, and an optimized processor and UI/UX to make it even easier to enjoy clear sound performance. With four Gain Modes that provides up to 16Vrms of desktop Hi-Fi level output and sound, and ES9039MPRO Dual DAC chips, KANN ULTRA perfectly powers many of today’s headphones with high resolution. A separate Pre/Line Out allow users to enjoy the sound with a variety of different devices. Triple Output, Triple Sound KANN ULTRA features a Triple Output Mode that allows you to enjoy Astell&Kern’s perfectly prepared sound when connected to demanding headphones, highly detailed IEMs, and external devices. Instead of simply separating the output ports, Astell&Kern’s Teraton Alpha technology allows for separate amplifier/sound design for the Headphone Out and Line/Pre-Out ports to provide the optimal sound for each port. Complete your powerful Head-Fi system even on portable devices with the KANN ULTRA with Triple Output. Upgraded Sound, the Newest ESS Flagship DAC The KANN ULTRA is designed with dual ES9039MPRO DACs, the newest flagship DAC from ESS, to deliver richer and more expansive sounds that exceed your expectations. The ES9039MPRO is an updated ES9039PRO model that has a built-in stereo hardware MQA renderer. It has even more advanced modulation than the existing flagship DAC to reduce power consumption, noise and distortions inside the DAC for enhanced audio performance. Astell&Kern has redesigned the AMP BLOCK to ensure that the clear, high-resolution sound of the ES9039MPRO is clearly expressed through every port of the Triple Output, and each output’s characteristics show its own advanced performance. Incredible User Experience with Next-Generation Octa-Core Processors KANN ULTRA is the first to feature the next-gen Octa-Core processors with significant performance improvements, allowing you to enjoy KANN ULTRA’s incredible sound performance with faster system speeds and a 4th generation UI/UX that flows faster and smoother. The audio circuit area is physically separated from the processor area, which includes the CPU, memory, and wireless communication components, and is equipped with a dedicated shield can to minimize the heat and noise generated by the processor.
