Astell&Kern A&norma SR25
Best portable player for audiophiles seeking uncompromising high-resolution sound on the go.

It packs desktop-grade, high-resolution audio processing into a pocketable frame, though you’ll have to accept the trade-off of carrying a dedicated device just to hear your music the way it was meant to be heard.
