Yes, the iPod is officially dead, but AstellKern's new Kann Max might satisfy your need for a dedicated music device -- if you can stomach the price.

In a move that has been anticipated for years, Apple finally — if somewhat awkwardly — confirmed that it will no longer make the iPod Touch, the last remaining iPod version. The reasons, according to Apple are clear: Given our ability to access music through all of our other digital devices , we’ve all moved beyond needing a dedicated device for listening to music on-the-go, especially one that can’t connect to streaming services like Apple Music through mobile data.

It gives you a choice of gain levels: Low, mid, high, and super gain modes for up to 15 Vrms output. And since increased power often comes with increased levels of noise, the Kann Max goes to great lengths to eradicate the introduction of noise by separately configuring the power supply circuit for each part of the audio path — digital-to-analog converter , volume, and amplification. A&K claims that this arrangement removes the interference ripple noise caused by DC-DC power supplies.

A&K has also been upgrading all of its players with AK File Drop, an easier way to transfer audio to the Kann Max wirelessly from a PC, smartphone, or FTP program located on the same network. The HC2 is also notable for its headphone jack: It uses a 4.4mm balanced output, which means this amp/DAC is targeted at those with wired headphones or IEMs that use balanced connections. You can convert a 2.5mm balanced plug into a 4.4mm plug if you need to, but you can’t use an unbalanced set of cans. A&K is planning to release a dedicated Android app that will give you more fine-tuned volume control over the HC2, and it’s working with Roon Labs to get the amp/DAC Roon-certified.
