Desciption

Sound in ultra-high resolution from AKM 4493s DAC

To achieve the highest audio quality achievable with a USB DAC, the AK HC4
is the first in the USB DAC Cable lineup to incorporate AKM’s DAC.
AKM’s DAC has earned much love when featured in Astell &Kern’s digital
audio players, but due to the small size of USB DAC Cables and the challenges
of amp design, it has been difficult to implement in the USB DAC Cable lineup
until now.

The AK4493s DAC from AKM , used in the AK HC4 , is further enhanced
with improved noise control, lower power design, and ultra-precise amp design
technology, delivering exceptionally high-quality Hi-Fi sound. Furthermore, it
supports Native DSD256 and up to 32bit/384kHz to handle any high-quality audio
source, allowing you to experience the high-grade sound quality that Astell
&Kern delivers.

Precision DAC and AMP design for Hi-Fi Sound

In order to gain stable output power and ultra-high-quality Hi-Fi sound
through the Dual Output, AK HC4 introduces an exclusive AMP circuitry that
supersedes the standard built-in DAC AMP.

While maintaining a compact form factor 29.5 x 64.5x 14.5mm, we used micro
resistors and capacitor parts to achieve a small footprint without
compromising per
