The Astell&Kern PD20 redefines the possibilities of a Digital Audio Player, consistently following the guiding principle: Craft your sound. Rather than being an evolution of existing models, the PD20 has been developed from the ground up as a sonic precision instrument that adapts uncompromisingly to the individual listening character of its user. As the first DAP with an integrated hearing test, the Personal Sound System, developed in collaboration with Audiodo, analyzes the hearing characteristics of both ears separately and creates a customized sound profile. The operating system is based on a complete Android and is specifically optimized for audio playback. It allows streaming music from all major streaming services via WiFi. The necessary apps from Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify, Apple Music, etc., can be easily installed. At the heart of the signal processing is an ESS ES9027PRO in a Quad-DAC layout for clean, spatially stable, and detailed playback up to Native DSD512 and 32 Bit/768 kHz. The Triple-AMP architecture with Class A, Class AB, and Hybrid modes allows for targeted tuning of sound character and power reserves. In Class A and Hybrid modes, the idle current can be adjusted in three stages, enabling precise control over dynamic behavior, soundstage representation, and the reproduction of fine details. The Sound Master Wheel allows for fine-tuning of the sound in 160 steps per frequency band without interrupting the flow of music. With a 6-inch FHD+ display, 256 GB of internal storage, microSD support up to 2 TB, Bluetooth 5.3 including aptX HD and LDAC, as well as a USB-DAC function, the PD20 combines uncompromising technology with a studio-inspired operating logic. It is a consistently audiophile instrument for the highest demands in customization, precision, and musical authenticity.
