“You get 128GB of internal memory, and that can be expanded up to 256GB with a microSD card. The Plenue 1 plays WAV, FLAC, AIFF, APE, ALAC, WMA, OGG, MP3, DXD and DSD files, up to 192kHz/24-bit resolution. Playback time is just 8 hours, which might be an issue for some buyers.”

” Dual DACs in the newbie feed a balanced circuit that terminates in either 3.5mm unbalanced or 2.5mm balanced TRSS sockets. The latter’s inclusion might be reason enough for fans of balanced-wired headphones to upgrade. In launching their own XLR-terminated balanced cable at this year’s RMAF, Astell&Kern clearly aren’t treating this as a nice-to-have extra. They’re evidently serious about their new models’ deployment as a high-quality source for two-channel operations.”

“Serious listening started with my selected discs of vocals, jazz , pop and classical. The immediate impression of the Aries is of a clean, natural-sounding but slightly thinner sound than what I am usually used to on my reference system.”

“The transient sounds like the snare drum hit or claps did project an elevated sound, but the male vocals sounded like they were coming from the Atmos companion speakers.”

“I played all manner of music through the Converto including the usual suspects and something like Kind of Blue in mono (24/192) from HDtracks suited its strengths perfectly. All of players were laid out is space and their distinct voices shone through nicely.”

“The new design simply, although I’m sure it was anything but simple, does away with the array of magnets on the side closest to the ear. This allows the sound waves generated from the membrane to pass unobstructed into the ear. In theory this should produce a more coherent soundstage with better imaging.”

“It’s also worth noting that ALO have thought about the International+’s in-pocket use. The gain switch and volume pot both require a firm hand to ensure there are no nasty surprises should you bump either whilst removing it from your pocket.”

“The various large Wilson Audio speakers I’ve had in my room — everything from the MAXX 3 to the Alexandria XLF — are equally impartial to one kind of amplifier. They also sound fundamentally different from the Ultimate Reference.”

” Best of all in over a decade now, PrimaLuna has not compromised a molecule on build quality. They are still making gear that feels bank vault solid, encased in a dark blue, high gloss metallic finish that would do an Aston Martin proud”
