Test results

„very good - outstanding“ (top class)

„Minor drawbacks in handling are compensated by a sound that has not been heard in this price range before. The variety of connections, improved flexibility due to a new firmware update regarding preferred music and streaming apps, long battery life, and a large internal memory make the SE100 a desirable overall package.”

Price/Performance: „outstanding highlight“

„Never before has a HiRes player from Astell & Kern been so easy to use ... Now for 500 euros, there is the Astell & Kern AK CD-Ripper II, which turns the SE100 into a fully functional small music server that can be integrated into the network via WLAN. Additionally, Bluetooth streaming to speakers or headphones with AptX-HD is available. And the sound is absolutely top even at low volumes.”

Price/Performance: „very good“ (Grade: 1.0)

Extremely clean and very musical sound; top-class converter chip; WLAN & Bluetooth with aptX HD; headphone jack unbalanced and balanced; top user concept.
