Digital Audio Player Pairings
Using some of our preferred flagship DAPs we have provided our signature impressions and synergies below.
Pairing directly with the Astell & Kern AK380 Copper Edition
Detailed transparency, brighter upper end and slightly airy style signature. – Good pairing
Pairing with the Sony NW-WM1Z Player
Warmth and fuller body with some great sparkle on the treble areas
Lotoo Paw Gold Titanium Edition
Reference style portray of detail, slightly airy but very articulate. – Preferred Synergy
In addition to the higher end DAPs these earphones performed well from standard mobile phone sources also as they are extremely easy to drive.
