Astell&Kern KANN Ultra Music Player Review & Comparison [Video]
Astell&Kern's KANN series of music players always set the bar high when it comes to portable power output. Just released, the new KANN Ultra music player is the successor to the KANN Max, providing some great upgrades both sonically and the amount of power this thing can crank out. It's a new design, and there are a lot of things to talk about, so let's just get to it.
My dad told me to be responsible and get a job that would allow me to finance my passion for music. Well, I did. That's why I spend all day in a proverbial candy store for music lovers. It's a dream job really.
Ricky Kovacs is a performer at heart but loves to bring his passion and experience with music to others. With a background in both politics and religion, Ricky has a knack for writing about divisive topics - which is why at the end of the day he loves writing about the one thing that brings us all together: music. Outside of Moon Audio, Ricky enjoys performing music in his band, recording, video games, virtual photography, reading, traveling, partaking in the finest scotch, and spending time with his wife, newborn, and doggy.
