Review: Awesome...eventually! - After spending a significant amount of time trying to connect to wifi (2 different routers and a hotspot) and getting 'limited connectivity' trying everything I could think of, I eventually found for some bizarre reason changing the time zone solved the issue (made no sense!) and I could then do a firmware update and revert back to GMT with no further issues... DAR (basically an upscaling feature) is incredible, the sound is noticeably more analogue, it's like having a really high end turntable in a dustproof environment but with extra top end clarity (paired with Denon AH-D9200 headphones and custom cable). Having been a big vinyl fan back in time this is as close as I've found from a digital source. As with all audio kit trying before you buy is highly recommended, but the Kann Ultra is spot on for me
Review: Great player; excellent company - With the skilled assistance of HEA Distribution, I upgraded from an older SA player to the new Kann Ultra. Wow! Amazing sound quality, really fast interface response. Just oozes quality. Well worth the extra cost. Would like to praise HEA and Stephan in particular, who was so helpful and patient in answering my questions and making the purchasing process as easy as possible. Their customer service is at a level I've not experienced for years. Can't recommend them enough.

## Features

- Next-Generation Octa-Core processor brings significant performance improvements allowing you to enjoy incredible sound quality with faster system speeds and a smooth flowing 4th generation UI/UX.
- Featuring the latest flagship DAC from ESS, the ES9039MPRO, delivers a richer, more expansive sound with advanced modulation for reduced power consumption, noise, and distortions, enhancing audio performance
- Triple Output Mode to deliver natural, detailed sound when connected to demanding headphones, highly detailed IEMs and external devices
- Separate amplifier/sound design for the Headphone Out, Line Out and Pre-Out ports to provide the optimal sound for each
- Digital Audio Remaster (DAR) technology, developed to deliver fine sound at higher sample rates. DAR technology upsamples the sample rate of the sound source being played to go beyond the limits of the source format
- A dedicated Pre-Out delivers sound through a specially designed Pre-Out amplifier, instead of the high-powered Headphone out amp, for optimal sound control
- Exclusive Line Out mode outputs the sound directly from the DAC bypassing the amplifier, resulting in the lowest noise level, and making it ideal for connecting to external audio devices

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Product and Company
*by G***A on 13 September 2024*

I previously owned the A&K Kann Alpha and started to have issues running Tidal’s new FLAC format music on the device. After talking with an extremely helpful and knowledgeable person at HEA Distribution (Stephan Orphanides) they explained the likely cause of my issues and recommended the new A&K Kann Ultra which would better cope with the higher demands of the new music format. I decided to upgrade and after receiving my new A&K Kann Ultra and using it for a while now, I can confirm that it’s an absolutely fantastic product. Don’t get me wrong, the Kann Alpha was very good, but the Ultra is next level! Astell & Kern have totally revamped the operating system and it is so much more responsive (not clunky at all now!), there is a much larger and better quality display and to me there is a noticeable improvement in sound quality which I thought wouldn't be possible!! The whole device screams quality and if you are considering an upgrade I would thoroughly recommend the Kann Ultra without hesitation. I have no regrets what so ever with this purchase. Thanks once again toe HEA Distribution and Stephan for some really good advice.
