Whats the point of this in terms of the A&K lineup? Is there any advantage to using it with one of the A&K DAPs?
A shopper on Feb 14, 2023
  Thank you for your inquiry. The CA1000 design, features, and performance provide the highest level of sound with many DAPs with lesser DACs and headphone amp capabilities. https://www.worldwidestereo.com/products/astell-kern-acro-ca1000-portable-headphone-amplifier-dac-moon-silver-3ppr419c-cmsin1
