True to the core values of Astell&Kern, high fidelity sound lies at the heart of the SR25 MKII,
delivering
exceptional audio performance to a diverse range of music lovers. The most distinctive feature of the
Astell&Kern A&norma product line is its compact form factor. However, the SR25 MKII offers more
detailed
sound than its predecessor, allowing the clear expression of each and every instrument and vocal note.
The SR25 MKII offers more versatile connectivity options with the addition of a 4.4mm balanced output for
the first time in an A&norma player, LDAC, as well as Qualcomm® aptX™ HD, which support and deliver true
audiophile sound quality.
The SR25 MKII keeps everything we love about the SR25 and adds new design features. It will produce the best
sound quality anywhere, anytime.

Astell&Kern products apply shield cans so that noise and electromagnetic interference, which occur
when the countless parts are in operation, do not affect the audio block.
The SR25 MKII has taken it a step further by applying highly conductive, hyper-pure silver plating on
the existing shield cans for perfect shielding that provides excellent audio performance.
No need to worry about battery life.
The SR25 MKII can play continuously for 20 hours with just one full charge, thanks to its optimized,
energy-efficient circuitry.
