Audio player "A & norma SR25 MKII" that is great for wired earphones and headphones

Triple jack specifications, I like it.

Is it part of retro fashion? In recent years, it is becoming a hot topic that wired earphones are being reviewed. Earphone terminals have disappeared from models above the middle range of smartphones, and low-end models such as Samsung have begun to be jackless, but on the streets, colorful cables extending from pockets to ears are becoming more prominent. That's right.

So what should the player do? It's a good idea to use an old iPod with wired earphones, but the newly released Astell & Kern's "A & norma SR25 MKII" is also a good player. Because it is a player with earphone terminals with diameters of 2.5 mm, 3.5 mm, and 4.4 mm.

Isn't the earphone terminal a fixed size? Some people may think that. Certainly, the 3.5mm diameter earphone terminal has been used for a long time since the Walkman era of cassette tapes. However, with the spread of high-resolution sound sources, earphone terminals with a diameter of 2.5 mm and a diameter of 4.4 mm have come to be used so that a more three-dimensional sound stage can be felt.

Therefore, the A & norma SR25 MKII, which has 3 sizes of connectors, can be said to be a player that does not choose the type of wired earphones. The latest earphones are OK, and even vintage models are OK. Wired headphones will also be accepted except for those using archaeological grade 6.3mm plugs.

Built-in storage is 64GB. You can add up to 1TB with a microSD card. Compatible sound sources are PCM 384kHz / 32bit, DSD256 and high specs. It also has a mode that functions as a Bluetooth receiver, supports LDAC, Qualcomm and aptX HD, and can be used with wireless earphones.

If you want to carry a good sound, ants are an option. The design, which looks like a piece of mineral cut into pieces, is also unique. With a look that does not bother the thickness of the bezel, it has a tone that is clearly different from smartphones and portable players that tend to be uniform. It is one that will satisfy your desire to own it.
