Versatile Audio Players

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The AK380 Audio Player Can Support a Variety of Formats

— May 29, 2015 — Tech
The AK380 is a high-resolution audio player that supports a whole host of audio formats, and provides a high-quality listening experience that is sure to appeal to audiophiles. The formats supported by this device include high-resolution WAV, FLAC and AIFF as well as lossy formats such as MP3, WMA and AAC.

This portable audio player is equipped with 256 GB of internal flash storage and features microSD expansion capability. Bluetooth 4.0 and built-in DLNA support make for a high-connectivity package. Moreover, an upcoming app -- for both iOS and Android -- will allow users to wirelessly send music from their smartphone's music library to the AK380.
