The Rolls-Royce of portable players

You get a high-end HiRes player with the Kann Cube from Astell & Kern. The predecessor Kann did well with renowned specialist magazines, and the successor is no slouch either, even upping the ante in terms of interfaces. It has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on the wireless side, as well as two headphone outputs (2.5 and 3.5 mm), a USB, an XLR, and an optical audio connection. This offers enormous flexibility in sound playback.

Sound experience without limits

Stereoplay’s verdict is also positive. The mobile player cuts a fine figure on all tested headphones, is handy and easy to use. With his powerful amplifier he tames every listener he knows. It has both a symmetrical and a conventional headphone output and can be connected symmetrically to a high-end system. Using it with Bluetooth is just as possible as connecting it to the network via WLAN, which even makes Spotify & Co. usable.
