The AK100 will allow up to 96GB of storage(32Gb internal, plus there's 2 Micro SD slots which can each take 32GB each). There are still AK100 models out there will be available at very reasonable prices. Do not mistake these extra's as an issue, it's literally all the information your ears havn't heard yet due to the lwo quality compression and inferior recordings. If you are used to listening to MP3's at low sampling and high compression rates you will find the Astell and Kern allows you to hear clarity in HD recordings that you may not have heard before. Ensuring that the file is of maximum recording quality however will ensure you have an amazing audio experience but be warned. EG, if you have selected to FLAC an album etc and not set the sample rate high enough then a player such as the Astell and Kern would be wasted on an inferior sampling.Īny player under the sun is only as good as the source files it has been handed. IMPORTANT NOTE: Your FLAC files will also be a factor. The added bonus of this incredible audiophile oriented player is that it will also take an input, sadly not for recording though.
This player will handle 24bit 192KHz files. The answer to this question would have to be the Astell and Kern produced by the iRiver company.
BEST FLAC MUSIC PLAYER SOFTWARE ANDROID
Also, Ryzir, android players like Poweramp and Neutron can play 24/96 and even 24/192 but the android kernels have limitation and output only 16/44.1, so they all downsample the music with ibasso dx100 being the. Just my $0.02, hope you find what you are looking for There are a lot of players that can play 24/96 flac files but most of them donsample them. I am currently using the MDT with no amp and couldn't be happier with the sound (PowerAmp is missing a few features I would like, Ratings Sync and Smart Playlists).Īnother plus is that it has a Micro SD card slot and works with the 64GB sdxc cards (formatted to FAT32). Using PowerAmp this is the best sounding player I have ever owned (Various Sony & Sharp MiniDisc, Sony HD1 & HD5, iPod 5.5G & 6G Rockbox, Sansa Clip+ Rockbox).
BEST FLAC MUSIC PLAYER SOFTWARE INSTALL
I also had to install Kies for the driver to install. A couple of things that tripped me up loading it is that the Downloading screen is Yellow (not green) for the US version and you only have to hold power + volume down to get to that screen. The caveat is that android interfaces with the DAC poorly and to get Voodoo Sound working you have to load a custom kernel (which will void your warranty). There is a new 3.6" version but I don't know what DAC it has.
