The editors liked
The Astell & Kern AK Jr offers excellent design and great usability -- from the dedicated volume dial to the no-nonsense menu. Great-sounding sonics and able to drive many different types of headphones. Able to put dedicated USB DACs to shame
Small and lightweight
Can operate as a USB DAC
Relatively inexpensive
A&K's most affordable player
Same Wolfson DAC as in classic models
Flatter form factor
The editors didn't like
The corners on the casing are pointed
Which can make it uncomfortable to hold
And the case that fixes the problem runs an extra $50. Making playlists could be more straightforward. Relatively short battery life at only nine hours. Sound quality isn't $2
Beautiful aluminium design, Delivers gorgeous sound, Works as DAC amp
Slightly sharp metal corners, Software isn't as responsive as it should be, Screaming out for streaming service support
While it's not cheap, the AK Jr is blessed with good looks and great sound quality to make it one of the best ways to take your high res audio out and about...

Sleek and highly portable design, Rich, clear, and powerful sound, Strikingly expansive, dimensional sound stage, Ample storage, Excellent value for the genre
Battery life could be better, Wish for Wi-Fi
We wrote in our AK240 review that few people can really justify its exorbitant cost, making it all but prohibitive for most listeners. But that tall spire of inaccessibility has moved enticingly within arm's length thanks to the AK Jr.. Offering a gorge...

Superb looks and build quality, Slim and pocketable, Bluetooth connectivity, 64GB of in-built storage, Incredibly detailed sound, works well with good headphones, Extensive file format support
Slightly weak mid-range, Battery life could have been better, A bit expensive
The Astell & Kern AK Jr is a strong product, considering its price and the focus on standing out. It looks good, is beautifully built, and has the specifications, format support, and connectivity that help justify the Rs. 34,990 price tag. For listeners w...
Qualité sonore au top, Distorsion très basse, Très puissant, Indexation efficace des fichiers, Fabrication solide, Fin et léger, facile à transporter, Molette de volume précise et bien pratique, Utilisation en DAC/ampli casque sur PC/MAC
Interface un peu austère et qui manque de fluidité, Autonomie un peu juste, surtout en Bluetooth, Gestion du Bluetooth un peu laborieuse, Bords anguleux qui peuvent être gênants, Conversion du DSD en PCM
L'AK Jr est une solution particulièrement intéressante pour qui veut profiter d'une qualité audio irréprochable dans un format compact. Astell & Kern a amorcé un rajeunissement de certaines fonctionnalités sur ce nouveau modèle, notamment pour la connexio...
design, finition, ergonomie (molette de volume, boutons de navigation), fonction de DAC externe.
autonmie de neuf heures, prix
Design, finition, ergonomie, qualité audio... Le baladeur Hi-Fi haute définition Astell & Kern Jr réalise un quasi sans faute. Quasi ? Son prix et son autonomie ne sont pas parfait...
Petit et pratique, Rendu dynamique et aéré Un son agréable et chaleureux
Restitution un peu typée, Interface peu fluide
Pour l'audiophile, le smartphone est un dilemme. D'un côté il peut y stocker toutes ses musiques pour les écouter en déplacement mais d'un autre, le rendu n'est pas de grande qualité les convertisseurs intégrés ne valant que quelques centimes. D'où l'id...
Der Astell & Kern Junior ist lediglich im Kreise der Astell & Kern-Familie der Junior. In der Welt der Digital Audio Player (DAPs) gehört er dagegen auf jeden Fall zu den Großen...

В нелегкие времена когда падение продаж затрагивает даже премиум-сегмент выпуск престижными брендами бюджетных моделей является разумным шагом. Однако некоторые производители идут при этом на сознательное ухудшение звука. Новинка от Astell&Kern оказа...
