Product details
The Kann Alpha is the power house among music players. It delivers more than enough output power to provide an audiophile sound experience in combination with high-quality headphones or earphones. As the Kann Alpha is compact and solidly designed, it is suitable for listening to music on the move as well as for use at home.
The music player is equipped with two high-end ES9060AS DAC chips. To avoid interference, the balanced 4.4 mm and 2.5 mm outputs are physically separated from each other. An unbalanced 3.5 mm output is of course also available. This means that all commercially available plug types can be connected. The gold plating of the three headphone connections also ensures absolutely interference-free signal transmission. The Kann Alpha delivers crystal-clear sound quality and unleashes previously unheard details from your favourite tracks.
Equipped with aptX-HD and LDAC-supported Bluetooth 5.0, music is also played back wirelessly in the highest quality. The Kann Alpha is equipped with an Android 9.0 operating system optimised for sound by Astell&Kern and supports WiFi apps such as Tidal, Qobuz, Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer and Youtube via the V-Link app. The powerful 5,600mAh battery provides 14 ½ hours of uninterrupted listening pleasure.
