SE300, the fourth model in the A\u0026amp;futura range is a premium digital audio player that inherits this identity and expands the scope of sound with an entirely new implemented technology.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFully Discrete 24bit R-2R DAC\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe SE300 comes supplied with an R-2R DAC, instead of a Delta-Sigma DAC that is most commonly used in other audio players. R-2R DAC, also known as Ladder DAC, as it arranges resistors in a ladder form, offers natural yet dynamic Hi-Fi sounds, but it is extremely technical and difficult to execute as it requires complex refined resistor units and hard to manage current controls.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHowever, despite these technical challenges, after several years for development and a lot of trial and error we have managed to overcome this and create a new analog sound. In the process, we have meticulously selected each and every one of the 96 ultra-precision resistors and finalized our R-2R DAC technology.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupporting Class A\/AB Dual AMP Mode\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe SE300 comes with a Dual AMP mode. Class A amplification that creates low distortions and natural sounds and a Class AB amplification that plays dynamic sounds with high efficiency so users can pick and choose from the two amps according to their listening preferences and genre of music that they are playing.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eExperience the true sounds that only Astell\u0026amp;Kern can deliver with the SE300 that comes with an R-2R DAC and Class A\/AB Dual AMPs born from Astell\u0026amp;Kern’s unique proprietary designs that reduces power consumption whilst enhancing output and removing noise. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNew Experience, New User Interface\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe SE300 comes with a redesigned Crimson-themed UI\/UX transforming into a \"true music player\" for users to deeply connect with their music listening experience.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new UI\/UX is designed so that users can quickly browse music categories and re-discover songs within their music library.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe also added an easy album art search function so that users can re-discover the joy of viewing and interacting with music album art whilst listening to their music.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe crimson theme focuses on edge, simplicity, and dark mode keywords. The color theme of black with red highlights lowers visual fatigue and offers intuitive user experiences, and many other improvements were made to the device’s user-friendliness of app service, artist view, album sorting, and the album art search function.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupporting Optimized FPGA OS \/ NOS Modes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe SE300 comes with Astell\u0026amp;Kern’s exclusively developed FPGA and provides optimized OS \/ NOS modes.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe SE300 uses an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) that we self developed for optimized design instead of using common off the shelf commercial semiconductor chipsets, relaying digital signals to the R-2R DAC through its algorithm. Astell\u0026amp;Kern’s FPGA, developed specifically for the SE300, supports the most ideal OS (Over Sampling) \/ NOS (Non-Over Sampling).\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEnjoy the sound styles reproduced by NOS and OS modes, meticulously designed for the SE300's hardware and programs. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Astell\u0026Kern","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43975056785542,"sku":"3PPR5190-CMSIN1.DEMO.050","price":1399.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0875\/3864\/files\/1_575b6ab1-f3ed-4371-b5d2-21c9d73836ab.jpg?v=1682642771","url":"https:\/\/addictedtoaudio.com.au\/products\/astell-kern-se300-digital-audio-player-demo-unit","provider":"Addicted To Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
