Astell & Kern SE200 : Portable Music Player

The A&futura SE200 is the world’s first Multi DAC player.
Since the release of the Dual DAC AK120 player in 2013, we have not seen any products feature more than Dual DACs in the last seven years.
This prompted us to ask the question, “Why hasn’t there been more than two DACs in a player?”
So, we set out to become the first manufacturer to use more than two DACs and the result is the SE200.

The SE200 features the latest audiophile DACs from ESS, the ES9068AS in a Dual DAC configuration. We then added a single AK4499EQ, AKM’s flagship DAC that is used in our flagship SP2000. Combining the three DACs, we have produced the world’s first multi-DAC DAP.

This pairing exhibits the philosophy of the A&futura line to pursue fundamentally different sound than found in typical DAPs.
To properly implement multiple DACs, we needed to spend twice the amount of time on development and double the amount of time in properly tuning the player.

Astell&Kern is not content to keeping things the same all the time. We are constantly working to improve on what we have already achieved to bring the most accurately reproduced and best sound to our products

The SE200 is the second model from the Astell&Kern A&futura premium line of Digital Audio Players.

After the first model SE100, we were once again thinking about the nature of the word premium and asked ourselves,
“What is the value of premium in Hi-Fi and how can we express it with a product?”
We decided to “Let’s make One device that nobody can duplicate”
We wanted to try something no one else has tried before, including Astell&Kern. The result is the SE200.
