Astell & Kern AK XB10 Headphone Amp/DAC
The neat form factor that lets you cradle it in the palm of your hand isn’t the only thing that makes the AK XB10 appealing. The amp/DAC supports high-resolution Bluetooth playback up to 48-kilohertz/24-bit, providing a way to enjoy high-quality sound with any set of wired or wireless headphones/earbuds or smartphone—even if it doesn’t have a headphone jack (like the new iPhone 7). Extreme Bluetooth: That’s what the audio mavens at A&K call it, and Qualcomm’s new high-efficiency aptX HD codec is what makes it possible. (The source device must support aptX HD for hi-res playback.) The XB10 has a built-in microphone for making calls and is equipped with a standard minijack output and a 2.5mm balanced output. Price: $189
