Astell&Kern Activo CT10 Hi-Res Portable Music Player - White

I bought this in white as it was half price, and a total bargain. Screen is quick and responsive, it's just Android so you can add apps to it. I added the BBC sounds and Spotify to mine. WiFi works a treat, and it plays DSD and Hi-Res FLAC a treat. Does however run really quite warm, I wouldn't recommend stuffing it in a deep pocket. Line out works perfectly, just select it in the menu and Bluetooth linked to everything just fine. On wired headphones with WiFi and bluetooth off I get a good 6 hours playtime and it's still showing a quarter battery charge at least. With DSD being up to 12Gb an hour and Hi-Res Flac around 1.2Gb buy a big SD card to go with it.

Sound quality of this device is fantastic.Easy to use interface based on android.Bluetooth features aptx HD and has a good range.Battery life is not brilliant at 6 to 10 hours use.Overall I am very happy with this device and would recommend if sound quality is your top priority.Update:Had this over 12 months now and it has not missed a beat.One of the best things I have bought off amazon.

This is a nice music player, although it isn’t so good when using the screen. It comes with Tidal pre loaded, although of course you have then to subscribe. It doesn’t come pre loaded with Spotify which is a shame. The best thing about this is the sound, which of course is the most important thing, and the price has been reduced substantially. When matched with decent headphones this is a nice sounding player.

Great music player, use it all the time, really good price

Purchased as a stop gap when my ibasso dx150 gave up the ghost but give such a good clear sound I haven't progressed searching for a replacement.I like this item.

Bought this as it seemed to play most file types. It has been 100 percent reliable and works faultlessly incredible value for money five star.

Waste of my Ney no better than a smartphone bad screen to small difficult to input data and login to streaming sites some won't allow access avoid this item use your phone just as as good and better battery. Really no good this very frustrated with itwste of money even at the sale price

I have wanted a Hi-res music player for a while and the CT10 featuring a lower cost case but A&K internals looked like a great deal, especially at the now-reduced price of £99 for the white model. The package is very neat, minimal instructions in the box but the player really is intuitive. Setting up bluetooth an wifi was a first-time task in the settings screen (but typing IS painful - the screen is small and the keyboard minute). Loading my TIDAl account was equally easy but searching by artist not scrolling was definitely harder than the iPhone.I would have wanted Spotify too but did not download it although it seems I could. That said, when it came time for a firmware upgrade it failed multiple times saying I was not connected to the internet (I was) or battery was low (100% as I'd just unplugged it from a long first charge.)The sound quality really is everything I'd hoped it would be - even on a small £100 Roberts bluetooth speaker it was dynamic and crisp and a real step up from standard Spotify streaming. BUT, it dropped out around 2 minutes in for 3 or 4 seconds and then came back. This was repeated over at least a dozen tracks from TIDAL and from the player - it just momentarily has a bluetooth glitch. I tried my Cyrus One and the same thing. Great sound but constant drop-out for up to five or six seconds. Who is going to live with that? One of the hifi mags had the same issue on test I read when I looked it up and I changed all of the settings I could think might have some effect but it was sadly a return.+'veIt sounds greatIt is truly pocketableIt has a really logical swipe interface that is intuitive and fast to learn-'veConstant Bluetooth drop outs (with Cyrus One amp and Roberts Blutune speaker)Plastic finish is quite soft and would easily markWhy is the screen so much smaller than it could be (2/3rds of the case front) - typing really is an issueOverall, I may have had a bad unit and others may be better. It does sound very nice indeed but on my experience taking the plunge on one is at your own risk.

Sonido excepcional, se merece las cinco estrellitas. Ahora viene un pero: en principio no permite escuchar Tidal Offline, toca tirar de youtube (tutorial) para poder descargar la musica.

J'avais pas mal hésité avant d'acheter ce baladeur mais comme le Fiio M6 était indisponible partout, j'ai pris celui-ci avec quelques craintes par rapport à l'aspect, l'ergonomie et la qualité. Au final, c'est un excellent produit pour un prix défiant toute concurrence: l'écran est fluide et tout est intuitif. Le baladeur tient bien en main. Je craignais que le bouton de volume soit une protubérance inesthétique et que le plastique blanc fasse cheap: il n'en est rien, on se rapproche plus d'un design à la Apple que d'un objet sans âme en marque blanche. Effectivement, le fait que l'écran ne soit pas centré et laisse une bande blanche inutilisée est un peu dommage mais on s'y habitue. Le seul point gênant est la taille de l'écran qui fait que la frappe de mots sur le clavier virtuel est un peu compliquée (et pourtant j'ai des doigts fins). D'un autre côté, le fait même de pouvoir taper sur un clavier virtuel est un vrai plus pour faire des recherches d'albums ou d'artistes sans avoir à passer dans les arborescences. La qualité audio est au RV. Les connexions Bluetooth et Wifi se font sans problème. Mais le gros plus est que je peux utiliser mon abonnement Deezer: j'ai installé l'apk (un peu galéré pour trouver le bon) et tout Deezer est disponible y compris en mode déconnecté.

Il titolo riassume tutto, cercherò di spiegare brevemente perchè sono giunto a questa conclusione.Premetto che, da appassionato di musica di lunga data, sono in possesso di una libreria smisurata di files digitali, in qualità più o meno elevata.Cercavo, molti anni dopo aver perso il mio fidato iPod classic da 160gb, un altro lettore portatile, magari più al passo con i tempi (bluetooth) ma che mi permettesse di navigare agevolmente tra molti file, che avesse una buona capienza e pochi orpelli, che facesse il suo lavoro senza distrazioni multimediali, ma mi gratificasse con comandi touch e copertine degli album.La faccio breve, questo le fa tutte, e molte di più. Inutile che le elenchi, leggete le specifiche, sono clamorosamente reali. Rende concettualmente imbarazzante un iPod, fa tutto quello che desideravo ma MOLTO MEGLIO di quanto desideravo. Legge tutti i formati, lo riempi di musica attraverso una semplice microSD (che ho preso da 400gb) e non ha bisogno di nessun sofware o competenza specifica.La qualità audio è ottima, la navigazione è veloce e fluida (con 240gb caricati), il bluetooth non mi ha dato alcun problema, la percezione di qualità generale è più che buona. C’è anche una presa minijack che ormai non è da dare per scontata.Che dire di più? A questo prezzo non mi pare ci sia niente di avvicinabile, se resiste alla prova del tempo questo gadget è semplicemente meraviglioso. Da verificare la durata delle batterie che in bluetooth mi sembra scarsa, ma mi pare il minimo, nonchè un problema aggirabile. Lo consiglierei senza riserve a chiuque.

Neben dem ASTELL & Kern Futura SE100 habe ich den Astell & Kern Activo CT10 2x als Geschenk erworben. Im Vergleich zum ASTELL & Kern Futura SE100 ist der kleine Player ein Schnäppchen. Mit einem guten Kopfhörer oder als Musikquelle einer Musikanlage über den schaltbaren Line-Ausgang ist auch der kleine Player eine wahre Freude. Mit jeweils einer SanDisk Extreme microSDXC 400GB ausgestattet (ca. 500 unkomprimierte CD's), steht dem Musikgenuss auf hohem Niveau nichts mehr im Weg. Dass der Astell & Kern Activo CT10 nur ein stabiles Kunststoffgehäuse hat, ist bei diesem Preis / dieser Leistung akzeptabel. Schade ist, dass ich bislang für den Astell & Kern Activo CT10 noch keine preislich und optisch attraktive Schutzhülle gefunden habe.

Buon prodotto. consegna in tempi indicati. imballo ok. Ascolto più che soddisfacente. con brani di qualità rende molto bene. possibilità di personalizzare audio con equalizzatore. display si piccolo ma ancora gestibile. Durata batteria ottima. Gestione cartelle/file comodo. touch efficiente
