This Astell & Kern chip works to provide close to original playback by incorporating power noise removal, efficient power management, and amplification with minimal distortion.
To help eliminate noise and interference for a pure audio experience, Astell & Kern physically separated the headphone connector circuits, as well as employing shield cans that have been given highly conductive, hyper-pure silver plating.
When the left and right channels are clearly separated, you can experience ear fatigue over long listening sessions. With Crossfeed, the ACRO CA1000 mixes part of a signal from one channel and sends it to the other. The effect of centering the sound stage helps alleviate this issue and you can choose from Shelf Cutoff, Shelf Gain, and Mixer Level options to optimize your own level of crossfade.
It can be extremely frustrating to have to continuously adjust the volume as each digital file plays back at different levels. With ReplayGain, the ACRO CA1000 amp automatically adjusts the sound levels across different music tracks to meet an identical volume level.
