Astell&Kern A&norma SR35 – Compact high-end digital audio player with impressive sound quality

Premium hi-fi for on the go

The Astell&Kern A&norma SR35 combines audiophile sound quality, cutting-edge audio technology, and a particularly compact design. As the successor to the successful SR25 MKII, the SR35 retains its predecessor's portability while adding numerous technologies from Astell&Kern's flagship series. With its quad-DAC architecture, TERATON ALPHA, New Generation AMP, and a battery life of up to 20 hours, the SR35 offers true high-end sound on the go.

Quad-DAC technology for maximum sound precision

For the first time, Astell&Kern is using a quad-DAC configuration in the A&norma series with four Cirrus Logic CS43198 DACs.

Combined with a completely newly developed audio circuit, this architecture provides exceptional detail resolution, precise channel separation, and impressively spatial music reproduction. It supports high-resolution music formats up to 32-bit / 384 kHz PCM and DSD256 – for authentic hi-fi sound without compromise.

Dual and Quad DAC mode

The SR35 offers a switchable dual/quad DAC mode, allowing you to customize sound quality and power consumption.

While the quad-DAC mode delivers maximum sound performance, the dual-DAC mode ensures an exceptionally long battery life – ideal for enjoying music on the move.

New Generation AMP – Amplifier technology from the flagships

With its New Generation AMP technology, the SR35 adopts the modern amplifier architecture of the A&ultima series.

Through a completely newly developed circuit, high-quality operational amplifiers, and optimized component layout, the player achieves significantly improved noise reduction, higher output power, and maximum sound purity. The result is dynamic, transparent, and natural music reproduction at a reference level.

Two-stage gain mode

The A&norma SR35 features a two-stage gain mode that adapts optimally to different headphones.

Normal Gain

Ideal for sensitive in-ear monitors and high-sensitivity headphones. The low gain mode ensures an especially clean, low-noise sound profile.

High Gain

For high-impedance and power-hungry headphones, the high-gain mode provides significantly more output power and precise driver control.

Up to 6 Vrms is available via the balanced output – enough power even for demanding high-end headphones.

TERATON ALPHA – Astell&Kern's sound technology

The exclusive TERATON ALPHA technology forms the heart of the signal processing.

Through intelligent power management, effective noise reduction, and precise amplifier control, it enables an extraordinarily natural and detailed sound reproduction. Even the finest musical nuances are rendered authentically and without distortion.

Up to 20 hours of music enjoyment

Despite its powerful technology, the SR35 impresses with an extensive battery life of up to 20 hours.

This makes the compact digital audio player ideal for long trips, daily use, or extended listening sessions – without the need for constant recharging.

Crimson user interface

The SR35 utilizes Astell&Kern's modern Crimson User Interface.

The redesigned interface allows for particularly intuitive navigation through music libraries, streaming services, and album covers. The elegant design, featuring black surfaces and red accents, reduces visual fatigue and ensures comfortable operation.

Roon Ready and MQA support

The A&norma SR35 is Roon Ready and supports full MQA decoding.

This allows the player to be seamlessly integrated into modern streaming environments and plays back high-resolution music files in the best possible quality.

Compact, powerful, and versatile

Thanks to its handy format, the SR35 fits easily into any bag while offering the sound quality of significantly larger high-end players.

Its high-quality craftsmanship, modern technology, and extensive connectivity options make it the ideal companion for discerning music lovers.
