Increased output and lowered impedance
The Astell & Kern AK Junior output level of 1.95 VRMS represents a 14% increase over the AK100’s 1.5 VRMS. Our engineers have reduced the output impedance to 2 Ohms for a significant gain in sound fidelity from the Astell & Kern AK100’s 22 Ohms.
As the Astell & Kern AK Jr supports many various types of earphones and headphones, a separate amplifier is unnecessary.

 

DSD to PCM
