Description
Drive: in the for headphones and an earphone in portable audio player alone, but is the model that pursued the essence of KANN ALPHA being a portableness audio player than the conventional series more. While, as the big topic, being downsized; super of up to 12Vrms along with KANN CUBE. of the 4.4mm balance output becoming first among Astell&Kern in addition to the 2.5mm balance output. "Noise-free Output" which completely separated each balance output line, and realized a super low noise. The wonderful low crosstalk with the newly-designed circuit. The reproduction is realized by the efficiency of the power supply circuit for the long time of consecutive approximately 14 and a half hours, too. Furthermore, it supports first Bluetooth 5.0. I support aptX HD, the codec of both LDAC. And it features a design and the super exact metal molding technology that are easy to have, and are artistic. KANN ALPHA provides all-inclusive which accomplished unprecedented power and the Audio System performance of the class highest peak and coexistence of the portability to a user. ■KANN ALPHA is equipped with a Amplifier circuit super of up to 12Vrms while being downsized, and three phases of gain change setting is possible. It was the same as KANN CUBE where I boasted of the greatest to in the series and, at the High Gain setting of the balance output, realized super of 12Vrms while almost concluding size within the size with first KANN. This enables it by the downsizing of a large number of parts such as resistance or the condenser and the placement of various components and the optimization of the circuit. Parts more than result, 60 are made and are designed as the final product. And, in KANN ALPHA, super became available for becoming it while securing portability by a downsized new design. An earphone and the headphones of the high impedance go for a drive with margin, too. ■The stable power supply output is very important to prevent reproduction from having an influence for longest approximately 14 and a half hours for the sound of the realization high resolution portable audio player by the re-design of the power supply circuit for a long time. When vibration and the noise occur when a power supply is supplied to the player, it adversely affects a sound under the influence of a power supply noise. I adopt Matsuo Electric industry and an Ultra Small tantalum condenser for exclusive use of Astell&Kern developed jointly to meet a high-performance specifications demand of Astell&Kern. It supplies a stable power supply and suppresses the electric noise. Furthermore, KANN ALPHA realizes optimization of the power supply efficiency by this power supply circuit designed again, and the for a long time consecutive reproduction of longest approximately 14 and a half hours is realized, too. ■ and Noise-free OutputKANN ALPHA of the balance output terminal of 2.5mm and two kinds of 4.4mm are equipped with an Astell&Kern history first 4.4mm balance output terminal in addition to a 3.5mm imbalance output terminal and a conventional 2.5mm balance output terminal. Equipped with a 4.4mm balance output terminal is not important and is the element which implements it how, and is the only most important. KANN ALPHA separates the 2.5mm balance output and the 4.4mm balance output using a microrelay physically. Generally, I cannot prevent the interference of the noise to occur without each signal being blocked with the structure of each balance output connected only to a mute circuit appropriately. KANN ALPHA is proud of the output which there is not of the noise to incorporate independent structure to completely interrupt interference from the output side which does not become off. It is "Noise-free Output" which it completely separates each balance output line, and realized a super low noise. In addition, I make Gold PVD coating on 3.5mm imbalance output terminal, 2.5mm 4.4mm balance output terminal each to minimize a physical contact noise. In this way, both design and function side improve. I am proud of the superior quality and durability to a 4.4mm balance output terminal by adopting Pentaconn connector of Japanese Dix. ■The realization crosstalk of the highest-level low crosstalk is the quantity that a signal in between L channel and R channel leaks. The separation between the right and left channel improves so that a value of the crosstalk is low. The space that I can feel so as to be low crosstalk is deeper and becomes wide. KANN ALPHA is characterized by result of a measurement of the extremely superior low crosstalk called -141dB in the balance output at the time of the high gain setting by the circuit which I designed newly. ■ESS ES9068AS dual DAC and MQA hardware rendering KANN ALPHA are equipped with latest DAC "ES9068AS" for the Audio System of ESS Technology company by Left Right independent dual DAC constitution. I support the superior processing capacity of the Quad-Core CPU and in total maximum PCM 384kHz/32bit, native reproduction of DSD 256 (11.2MHz/1bit). Furthermore, it is equipped with VCXO (voltage control crystal oscillator) which is a femto- clock realizing super low jitter. And ES9068AS incorporates MQA Ren dollar and copes with MQA 8x decode by the hardware rendering on the DAC side. After developing MQA core with a CPU, I decode MQA through hardware Ren dollar incorporated in ES9068AS. In addition, I am applied when I connect KANN ALPHA to AK CD-RIPPER sold separately and reproduce MQA-CD. In this way, I can have you enjoy high-quality original master sound. ■Sound customization KANN ALPHA with the DAC filter can choose various DAC filters which a DAC maker provides. I can customize sound more by choosing a sound profile of the oneself preference. ※The DAC filter becomes the application to PCM 192kHz/24bit. It is not applied to DSD/MQA format. ■The firmware of latest system optimization KANN ALPHA for user experience improvement develops Android 9.0 to a base originally and provides movement more stable than the OS of the conventional version by having added many functions and upgrading not to notice at a glance. In this way, music streaming application of the main installed through Open APP becomes available and comes to cope with update of the future application. A system and the user interface that were completely optimized by music reproduction by customizing Android originally give a user, and they are designed to be smooth, and to realize a drifting music experience. ■Bluetooth 5.0 and KANN ALPHA for codec are equipped with Bluetooth 5.0 becoming first among Astell&Kern in history. I offer convenience of the wireless reproduction and more stable reproduction quality by the latest Bluetooth version. Bluetooth 5.0 supports speedup of the transmission speed and the transmission to the wide area in comparison with Bluetooth 4.2, and more stable wireless connection is enabled. In addition, codec to support does not have the compromise either. Correspondence of the AAC codec, the 24bit wireless transmission that is more support both possible aptX HD and LDAC in addition to normal SBC. Even wireless can enjoy widely high-quality sound by making an earphone and headphones, a speaker and pairing for Bluetooth. ■Volume wheel LED KANN ALPHA is equipped with the LED indicating the state by light in the volume wheel circumference. I bring a visual effect now with a design side by displaying a bit depth and volume adjustment state of the reproducing music with a color. ■It is a specification of correspondence Astell&Kern (ASTEL & cairn) AK-KANN-ALPHA-OB by network Audio System reproduction "AK Connect" of correspondence, the USB-DAC function correspondence (USB Type-C), light digital output (3.5mm Jack combined use) correspondence, USB digital audio output correspondence, DLNA functional enhancement correspondence, video streaming service "V-Link" (MOVIE/MUSIC) function correspondence, music streaming service application for a superior Audio System performance and fast charging by high Extensions-related built-in memory 64GB+microSD card slot (up to 1TB-adaptive ※ microSD card sells it separately), USB Type-C in installation possibility "Open APP Service" function correspondence, EQ (equalizer) sharing function correspondence, car mode function correspondence, AK CD-RIPPER (separate sale) ■Memory: ・Built-in 64GB (I include system area), outside microSD x1 (I cope to up to 1TB) ■Correspondence file format: WAV, FLAC, MP3, WMA, OGG, APE, AAC, ALAC, AIFF, DFF, DSF, MQA ■Sampling rate: 8kHz -384kHz native DSD64 (2.8MHz 1bit) - DSD256 (11.2MHz 1bit) native ■The number of the quantization bits: 8bit - 32bit native ■A DA converter: ESS ES9068AS x2 ■An input terminal: USB Type-C ■An output terminal: 3.5mm (tripolar) optical power, 2.5mm balance (4 poles), 4.4mm balance (5 poles), USB ■A USB DAC function: ○■Open APP: ○■V-Link: ○■WiFi: IEEE 802.11 b/g/n (2.4GHz) ■Bluetooth: Ver. 5.0, A2DP AVRCP, AAC SBC aptX HD LDAC ■A power supply: Lithium polymer battery (5,600mAh 3.7V) ■A display: 4.1 type touch panel liquid crystal (720 x 1,280 dots) ■Size: 68 x 117 x 25mm ■Weight: 316 g ■Accessories: A USB cable, a protection sheet (front, back for each two), memory card slot cover x2, a Quick Start guide, warranty product : one year, accessories 90 days ※A case, the accessory for the shooting are not attached. ※Please confirm the details in maker Web.
