Astell & Kern's AK Jr Player Slims Down High-End Audio

The AK Jr is a brand new portable music player from the audio specialists, touting an aluminium build and enough power to keep audio purists quiet features a textured aluminium volume wheel and a 3.1-inch touchscreen which Astell&Kern describes as being “smartphone-like”.

It’s as thick as the iPhone 6 at 6.9mm, and weighs only 93g – which incredibly is less than the Apple Watch. The AK Jr features 24bit/192hkz audio playback and support a wide range of audio formats including FLAC, ALAC and DSD.

It also comes with 64GB of internal storage as a well as a microSD card slot to bump it up to 128GB. Astell&Kern says the AK Jr will arrive in shops late May, retailing for £399.
