## Overview

The Astell&Kern A&Norma SR15 is a high-resolution portable music player featuring a dual-DAC setup with the MasterHIFI CS43198 chipset, delivering superior sound quality previously reserved for home systems. Equipped with a quad-core CPU for smooth operation, it supports native DSD and MQA formats up to 24-bit/192kHz, and offers versatile connectivity including USB and Wi-Fi, making it the perfect entry point for audiophiles seeking premium sound on the move.

## Description

The A&norma sets the standard of Hi-Fi audio for novice listeners. The SR15 is the first model in the A&norma line and is the beginning point of the Hi-Fi Audio experience, allowing you to enjoy the philosophy and technologies of Astell&Kern. The A&Norma SR15 uses two audio DAC chips for a Dual-DAC setup which offer greater presence compared to the inferior DAC chips designed for use in mobile devices. This device has adopted the MasterHIFI class DAC CS43198 for the first time in a portable system which means it’s capable of bringing you even closer to the original sound without distortion when it’s matched with the analogue amp design of Astell&Kern. The A&norma also supports native DSD bit-to-bit and gets one step closer to the Hi-Fi system. It’s also designed to remove distractions from your audio, including noise, distortion and an unintuitive user interface, so you can just focus on getting lost in the music. Play any resolution of digital files bit-to-bit up to 24-bit/192kHz with the SR15. DSD is native up to 64MHz, whilst DSD 128 MHz is converted to PCM for playback. The A&norma SR15 also accommodates 32-bit audio, by downsampling via the SRC (Sample Rate Converter) method. If that’s not enough, equipped with MQA technology, the Astell&Kern A&norma SR15 plays back audio files with the same sound of the original master recording.

Review: Outstanding! - Really, really nice! I was debating between this and the ak70 mk2 as the wonky look of the SR15 didn't convince me, in the end I took a chance on the SR15 based on specs but oh boy! I'm glad, this is a thing of beauty, sort of reminds me of the monolith in 2001 Space Odyssey! Sound is outstanding, my Beoplay H7 sounnd as they never sounded before, both wired and on Bluetooth. I will be using the SR15 mostly to play Tidal Hi-Fi, the stock app is a light version of the android full player and with no offline option but, to my sweet surprise, it streams Masters-quality content which the android counterpart cannot do, however I also downloaded and installed the full Tidal apk from apkPure as it's easier to navigate (the Spotify apk can also be installed but to play lossy music on this dap would be sacrilege). I love it, it's crazy expensive for my pockets, it sounds warm, dynamic, detailed, it looks awesome, solid, I'm glad I bought it and I recommend it. Update: I loved this player's audio capabilities for the few days I had it to test it but in the end it had to be returned. I simply could not justify the price-tag: Ui is very limited, screen is too small and I ended up browsing Tidal on my phone, adding music to my favorites to then go back to the SR15 to play the chosen albums. In addition Bluetooth range is limited to few meters at best, disappointing when compared to huge range my phone has. For me it's back to usb-dac+phone combo!
Review: gives a impressive sound - great open sound,spotify app and tunein app work well. impressed with the depth of the sound stage, makes listening to flack recordings a great experience.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding!
*by M***? on 20 December 2018*

Really, really nice! I was debating between this and the ak70 mk2 as the wonky look of the SR15 didn't convince me, in the end I took a chance on the SR15 based on specs but oh boy!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ gives a impressive sound
*by G***E on 24 September 2019*

great open sound,spotify app and tunein app work well. impressed with the depth of the sound stage, makes listening to flack recordings a great experience.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ticks all my boxes (almost)
*by J***P on 8 February 2019*

My entire listening environment is built around three guiding principles: 1) Top middle class audio, 2) Wireless connectivity and Accessibilty to/from Roon and Qobuz. This gem ticks the first two boxes, the third partially and will tick it completely soon. I used to have an AK120ii, which was a great sound wise but its connectivity was sub par, so I sold it and bought the Chord Mojo/Poly combination instead. Great audio quality but with my Shure SE846 IEMs I have a terrible hiss. I nevertheless used it for quite a bit. I am really happy though this SR15 came to my intention. I really like the sound, I have no hiss at all on my SE846, so very happy on that part. My complete CD collection is on a 512Gb card now and this works really well although it is above the 400Gb limit AK advertises with. I have to use the AK Connect functionality to access my HD Tracks, that works OK-ish (they play really well, but searching is a bit of a struggle). Searching on the SR15 is not very easy. I listen a lot of classical music and searching for composers is very important there but that can’t be done, I have to use the folder access. Therefore or I am really looking forward to the Roon compatability which is expected soon, it will give me a better user experience without having to fiddle with the small screen. The wireless connectivity is quite good functionally, but the SR15 does not have a very strong WiFi receiver in a technical sense. You better have a strong network. I received the item on 1.08 firmware and that was almost unworkable with WiFi, but after the 1.13 firmware, it seems a bit better and at home my connection is stable. The Qobuz software is almost the same as on my iPhone. I can download songs and use them on the go. The screen is a little small and with a cover you have to fiddle a bit, but it works as it should. I am a happy chap. Looking for the next firmware update, probably with Roon and I will be all set.
