At $1,299, this MP3 player isn’t for the average person. Instead, this is for audiophiles who want a high-quality MP3 player to immerse themselves in music. It has an analog volume controller to deliver a rich, dynamic sound.
This player has four levels of gain, which is the amount of amplification applied to a signal to increase its strength. In addition, a feature called ReplayGain will automatically adjust the volume so it’s consistent across tracks. Kann Max also has three output connections: a 3.5mm single-ended output, a 2.5mm (4-pole supported) balanced output, and a 4.4mm balanced Pentaconn output.
In addition, Open App Streaming allows for online/offline access to selective apps like Spotify, Tidal, Amazon Music, and more.
