Astell&Kern (A&Norma) - SR15 - Digital Audio Player - Official Thread

Commencing thread necromancy:

My quick and to the point review of the SR15.

I will confess, I was one of those who asked… Why do people use DAP’s? I mean, use your phone! Or get a Mojo and call it a day!

One day I got curious after a conversation I had in one of the discord channels…

I quickly came back to the forums and posed a question which @Torq was nice to answer:

I decided to give his recommendation a go to see what was this whole DAP thing all about…

I headed over to headphones.com and placed my order.

A few days later this little mofo showed up:

Shit… was I wrong, I can see where DAPS can be useful, It quickly took the place of my Mojo. I set my Cell on AP mode and I was off playing my Spotify and Qobuz Playlist in no time… I enjoyed not having the cellphone close to me, nor hearing emails come in for work!.

The SR15 interface is amazing though small (I am kinda blind) Still,… It works out very well. Is snappy and responsive.

I was able to install Spotify/Qobuz/Tidal with no issues. Still working to get Pandora and Roon installed.

To top it off with cherry on top and whiskey on the side, I recently purchased my first IEM’s, Moondrop Starfield and the synergy between these two just rockso your socksor!

If you are looking for a HE Entry Level (<- If that makes sense) DAP, the A&norma is a good place to start.

Thanks @Torq for the recommendation.
