AK380 Stainless Steel Package Released – AK380SS
Astell and Kern have released a stainless steel version of their flagship DAP AK380
This digital audio player will be sold as a package with a Stainless Steel amplifier and a Van Nuys carry case.
I am very fond of my AK380 copper player but do have an attraction to the SS version also, no doubt there will be signature comparisons with the other AK380 variants
Looking forward to getting my hands on one of these.
At Astell&Kern, we study countless materials to remain faithful to our design philosophy: Deliver the unique beauty and pure essence of the raw material intact without needless processing.
“A strong, non-corrosive metal that does not easily bend or damage.”
“A metal that can restore damage through polishing.”
Another new AK380 Stainless Steel Package is introduced.
