though the brand name has only been around since 2012 a stolen cone has quickly made a name for itself as the go-to brand for high-end portable hi-fi but with players stretching into the thousands of dollars it's been a brand that not many people are being able to experience until now and to the s1 Kern a K junior this is a $499 player which trims some of the features and bulk to leave you with a slim attractive player which actually performs really well it's the design that first strikes you from the beautiful volume knob to the discreet and easy to use even when in a bag playback controls it's made of aluminum and the corners can be a little bit sharp in your palm but this can be solved with a pretty expensive $50 case the back is glass and it does look very spiffy like many portable players appearing these days the a K junior offers high-res playback up to 24 bit 192 kilohertz of most file types including Sony's DSD the player offers simple connectivity just a 3.5 mm output microSD and USB and it also offers a minimalist but fun to use interface the device holds 64 gigabytes of space on board and can take up to an extra 64 gigabytes as well in use it's pretty straightforward and the touchscreen is a lot better to use than the mashie buttons of its competitors sound quality is excellent and it sounds better than any smartphone anywhere near the price what you'll get is better bass and better mid-range detail than a flat sounding phone if you hook it up to a computer you can also get better quality PC audio too at 500 bucks though it's 200 more than the similar sounding Sony nwz a 17 and offers only a fifth of the battery life with this much better designed and materials metal vs. dental plastic and a user experience that's far superior I'd buy the a K jr. over the Sony any day this is ty Pendlebury to see natok
