Test conditions

  • For record of test signals RAA was used ADC: E-MU 1616m
  • During tests RAA software-hardware measuring complex was used galvanic isolated power transformer and was excluded the effect of ground loop in the spectra

Reports and testing methodology is gradually updated. We try to generate the report in such a way that it would have been a single kind of report for all devices, convenient for direct comparison.

We constantly introduce new tests and improving the options for displaying graphs and parameters. It introduces different changes in reports. Because reports are generated automatically, the updates do not take much time.

In the development and implementation of new tests, new reports are more complete. To update some charts and tables may require additional time to process the raw data separately for each device.

Some devices require re-testing.

This model was tested for a long time and the report does not have the following graphs:

More detailed

Measurements of Astell&Kern AK120 were carried out by Roman Kuznetsov on the hardware-software complex RAA.

The Astell&Kern AK120 test was conducted as a black box test, without regard to cost and prestige. This is the basic principle for making measurements, measurement reports and developing tests in RAA.

I believe that it is important to do not make an absolute assessment of the device, but an aggregate assessment when working together with a headphones and taking into account external factors. This allows you to effectively reveal the potential of the entire set of devices or to make a more optimal choice of components.

А какой плеер более "продвинут" АК120 или АК70 мк2?
Заранее благодарю за ответ, с ув. Михаил.

Функционально - более новый AK70 MK2, а по звуку - пока не было на тестах.
