1 min read

Over the years we’ve heard about some pretty heavy-duty MP3 players, but the new Astell & Kern A&futura SE200 might just take the cake in terms of over-the-top performance.

That’s because the A&futura SE200, which was announced on Thursday, is the world’s first dual-DAC music player, according to the company.

The included DACs are the Sabre ESS9068AS DACs from ESS and a AKM4499EQ from AKM that was most recently featured in Astell & Kern’s top-of-the-line SP2000 player.

In terms of other specs, the SE200 has 256GB of storage with support for up to 1TB of extra storage via its microSD card slot, as well as aptX HD Bluetooth wireless, and 32-bit/384kHz file playback.
