The Asta Lincoln SR 15: A Quirky Music Player with a Touch of Innovation

The Asta Lincoln SR 15 is a follow-up to the AEK 70 Mark 2, which was reviewed last year. This new music player has undergone an internal overhaul, featuring a new back system and more powerful headphone outputs. Despite these upgrades, the price remains the same as its predecessor, making it an attractive option for those looking for a reasonably priced music player.

One of the standout features of the Asta Lincoln SR 15 is its quirky design. The screen is angled, which allows it to adapt to the natural shape of the player when held in one's hand. This design decision has been praised by the reviewer, who notes that it creates a unique and typically Aston Kern design aesthetic. Many of the usual Aston Kern design features are still present on this device, including sharp lines and angles.

The twist volume control is another lovely feature on this player, accompanied by a large touch screen and smooth animations. The software has also been given an overhaul, featuring a more recent version of Android underneath. This has resulted in a much smoother user experience compared to previous models, with faster performance and access to an app store. Users can expect a real pleasure when navigating the interface.

One of the most exciting aspects of this music player is its ability to produce high-quality audio. The reviewer has listened to the Asta Lincoln SR 15 with a particularly expensive pair of headphones and was impressed by the results, describing it as "dreamy" and "absolutely superb." However, due to its entry-level status, it's not designed for use with premium equipment.

The device also features a lovely design on the glass rear panel, which gives it an almost carbon fiber effect. This sleek finish makes the player easily portable and comfortable to hold. The reviewer notes that the user operation system is completely different from previous models, offering a smoother experience that is "really a pleasure to use."

In terms of audio quality, the Asta Lincoln SR 15 has only been tested for a short period, but initial impressions are extremely positive. The reviewer looks forward to putting this player through its paces in more environments and expects it to be one to watch when it arrives in August.

The price of the Asta Lincoln SR 15 remains the same as that of its predecessor, making it an affordable option for those looking for a high-quality music player. Given its performance, design, and features, this device is definitely worth considering for audio enthusiasts. With its unique blend of innovation and affordability, the Asta Lincoln SR 15 is sure to be a popular choice among music lovers.

there is a new back system inside there are more powerful headphone outputs it's an overhaul internally but what we really like about this device the price by the way it stays the same despite all of
