4 & 5GHz) 20-hour continuous playback Supports 2-way Bluetooth and LDAC, aptX™ HD, 1st Roon Ready A&norma DAP Bloom's Take While A&K’s flagship A&ultima series ( SP3000 ) for sure gets all the glory, it’s easy to forget about the A&norma lineup which typically takes portions of tech from the TOTL series, and turns them into class-leading designs at lower prices. Enter the SR35 with its quad-DAC, new amp under the hood, compact form-factor (one of the smallest among high-end DAPs), new and improved ‘Crimson’ UI, and excellent battery life at 20 hours of playback.

It’s well-built with typical, top-notch A&K fit and finish, and provides a premium feel for 800 bucks. If you want a taste of what a flagship player does without dropping a mortgage payment, the SR35 delivers a perfectly scaled down version of the SP3000 sound and performance for a flagship experience we can all enjoy.
