Astell&Kern PD20 – Ultieme luxe DAP, verrassend bereikbaar

Binnen de wereld van Astell&Kern is “betaalbaar” een relatief begrip. Maar als je kijkt naar wat de PD20 allemaal aan boord heeft, dan voelt hij precies dat: een ultieme luxe DAP die volgens A&K-begrippen nog verrassend bereikbaar is.

Dit is geen kleine upgrade. Dit is een volledig nieuw platform. Geen opvolger van de PD10, maar een DAP die vanaf de grond opnieuw is ontworpen met één filosofie: Craft Your Sound.

Ongelooflijk dynamisch. Meeslepend. En krachtig genoeg om zowel je favoriete IEM’s als serieuze over-ear hoofdtelefoons moeiteloos aan te sturen.

Wat is de Astell&Kern PD20?

De PD20 is Astell&Kern’s eerste digitale audiospeler die het geluid personaliseert op basis van jouw gehoor. In samenwerking met Audiodo is een geïntegreerde hearing test ontwikkeld die per oor analyseert hoe jij hoort, en dat profiel direct toepast op je muziek.

Het resultaat is geen algemene “EQ-boost”, maar een individueel afgestemde klankbalans die links en rechts afzonderlijk corrigeert.

Dit is niet zomaar high-end. Dit is high-end op maat.

Voor wie is de PD20 bedoeld?

Voor wie het maximale uit zijn collectie wil halen. Voor wie IEM’s van €1.000+ bezit en wil weten wat ze écht kunnen. Voor wie high-impedance hoofdtelefoons gebruikt en controle, autoriteit en headroom verwacht.

Maar ook voor wie altijd het gevoel had dat referentiegeluid net niet helemaal “van hem” was. De PD20 laat je dat geluid vormen naar jouw gehoor.

Dit is een sound lab in je hand.

Triple AMP Architecture – kies je klankkarakter

De PD20 beschikt over een unieke Triple AMP architectuur met fysieke schakelaars voor directe wisseling tussen drie versterkermodi:

Class A – rijk, vloeiend en analoog van textuur
Class AB – dynamisch, efficiënt en gecontroleerd
Hybrid – combineert de densiteit van Class A met de kracht van AB

En het gaat verder. In Class A en Hybrid kun je de versterkerstroom instellen op High, Mid of Low.

High levert maximale autoriteit en brede soundstage. Mid biedt balans en langdurig comfort. Low minimaliseert ruis en is ideaal voor gevoelige IEM’s.

Quad DAC & ESA – precisie zonder vervorming

In het hart van de PD20 werken vier ESS ES9027PRO DAC’s in een volledig gescheiden Quad-DAC configuratie. Interferentie tussen kanalen wordt geminimaliseerd, signaalscheiding wordt verbeterd, en microdetail blijft intact.

Daarbovenop komt Astell&Kern’s eigen ESA (Enhanced Signal Alignment) technologie die group delay minimaliseert. Frequenties arriveren gelijktijdiger, wat resulteert in meer helderheid en minder vervorming.

Dit hoor je als rust. Focus. Controle.

Advanced DAR – digitale verfijning zonder kunstmatigheid

De tweede generatie DAR (Digital Audio Remaster) werkt samen met VSE (Virtual Sound Extender) om verloren harmonischen subtiel te herstellen voordat upsampling plaatsvindt.

Geen kunstmatige glans, maar meer diepte en gelaagdheid. Meer ruimte tussen instrumenten. Meer natuurlijke decay.

Digitale verwerking die zich niet opdringt, maar verdiept.

Sound Master Wheel – 160 stappen van controle

Bovenop de PD20 vind je twee fysieke wielen. Eén voor volume. Eén voor klankafstemming.

Met de Sound Master Wheel pas je Bass, Mid en Treble aan in 160 stappen van –8 dB tot +8 dB. Zonder je muziek te pauzeren. Zonder menu’s. Gewoon tactiele controle.

Dit is hardwarematige betrokkenheid bij je sound.

Audiosphere – verder dan stereo

Met Audiosphere-technologie breidt de PD20 twee-kanaals audio uit naar een virtueel 3D-geluidsveld. Je kunt kiezen uit Subtle, Balanced, Immersive of Echoic.

Of je nu orkestwerken luistert of video’s kijkt, je kunt de ruimtelijkheid aanpassen aan je voorkeur.

Kracht & compatibiliteit

De PD20 ondersteunt native DSD512 en PCM tot 32-bit / 768 kHz.

Met 256 GB intern geheugen en microSD-ondersteuning tot 2 TB is opslag geen beperking. WiFi (2.4/5GHz), DLNA, USB DAC-functionaliteit, BT Sink, aptX HD, LDAC — alles is aanwezig.

USB PD 3.0 zorgt voor volledige lading in ongeveer 3,5 tot 4 uur.

Hoe klinkt de PD20? Dynamisch en meeslepend.

De bas is krachtig maar gecontroleerd. Het middengebied is rijk en transparant. Het hoog is verfijnd zonder scherpte. In Class A klinkt hij organisch en vloeiend. In Class AB sneller en strakker. Hybrid brengt balans.

Met High current-modus stuurt hij zelfs veeleisende over-ears met autoriteit aan. In Low current-modus blijft hij fluisterstil met gevoelige IEM’s.

Controle én emotie.

Lifestyle – dit is er eentje waar je voor spaart

Misschien herken je het wel. Je hebt altijd al een Astell&Kern willen hebben. Zo’n speler waar je naar kijkt en denkt: dát is high-end. Dat is serieus. Dat is het niveau waar ik ooit naartoe wil.

De PD20 is precies zo’n moment. Ja, je moet er misschien even voor sparen. Maar wat je ervoor terugkrijgt is geen standaard DAP. Dit is een speler die volledig op jou gericht is. Jouw gehoor. Jouw voorkeur. Jouw hoofdtelefoons. Geen universele afstemming, maar een persoonlijke sound die meegroeit met hoe jij luistert.

Dit is geen impulsaankoop. Dit is een bewuste stap omhoog. En zodra je hem in handen hebt, weet je waarom.

Design – Sound Lab Control

Het ontwerp van de PD20 draait om “Sound Lab Control”. Twee top-mounted wielen, fysieke slide-switches voor AMP en CURRENT, LED-indicatie rond de powerknop voor bit-depth weergave.

Strak, lineair en herkenbaar Astell&Kern.

De body voelt als een stuk professioneel studioapparatuur, niet als een gadget. High-end industrieel design met functionele logica.

Great value, quality ingredients, absolute MUST-HAVE!
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1)
Can’t believe how cheap these are! I’m on my second bottle and i can tell when I’ve forgotten to take them as I feel a bit sluggish. These help with energy, my skin looks more ‘glowy’ and I tend to be in a more chipper mood. Another awesome plus to these are the extra Ingredients specifically for women’s health; cranberry being one less supplement To worry about.

Defining Christian Education
What distinguishes a truly Christian education from what a student might receive from a secular university or college, or one that is merely "church-related"? Renewing Minds by David S. Dockery is an attempt at defining Christian higher education. Dockery is a noted scholar and President of Union University (TN), a liberal arts college which is fast becoming one of the premier Christian universities in America. As defined by Dockery, Christian education is all about instilling in students a Christian world and life view that prepares them "to think Christianly, to think critically, to think imaginatively," thus "preparing them for leadership and preparing them for life" (26-27). The goal is not to brainwash or program students in a particular doctrinal or theological point of view. The one who has a Christian liberal arts education need not fear the challenges of secular scholarship. Rather, the educated Christian is able to appreciate the culture in which be or she lives while being "able to bring truth to bear on the prevailing zeitgeist of that culture" (111). Armed with a Christian worldview firmly rooted in biblical revelation, the Christian is able to challenge "the presuppositions of our contemporary culture, both secular and Christian [emphasis added], which in their current forms seems to be pragmatic, disjointed, and unconnected" (113). Christian higher education must take place in a university setting that "is not a church" but "a faith-informed, faith-affirming, and grace-filled community. . ."(141). It is a community of believers seeking truth within an atmosphere of academic freedom operating within the limits set by the historic orthodox faith. It is an academic community in which the faculty are active scholars and teachers, and where the students are pursuing an intellectual understanding of their faith and not merely pursuing the skills and knowledge necessary for employment. Whether you are a parent seeking a Christian college or university for a child, or simply one who desires a better understanding of what Christian higher education really is, Renewing Minds is must reading.

Best Book on the Integration of Faith and Learning
Format: Paperback
A problem area in Christian ministry is the area of Christian higher education. As we continue to progress through the 21st century we continue to see the decline of the Christian higher education movement. What was once a strong area in the Christian ministry, Christian higher education is failing. The Bible College movement has been in decline for sometime. Schools are folding without the students or the funds to stay open. Most people are going to secular colleges and universities over Christian schools. One of the major problems with Christian higher education has been the failure to critically interact with the movement and offer an approach to dealing with this decline. David Dockery has helped fill this void with his recent volume, Renewing Minds. Dockery, President of Union University in Jackson, TN, is extremely qualified to write in this capacity. A clear and thoughtful theologian, he has extensive experience in the areas of leading and administrating a Christian higher education institution. Not only has he lead Union University he also serves as chairman of the board of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities. With recommendations from J. I. Packer, R. Albert Mohler, Chuck Colson, and a foreword by Robert P. George of Princeton University, this is a volume that should be seriously considered by all who love Christian education. In Chapter 1, Dockery highlights the problem in America. He writes, "I believe that the integration of faith and learning is the essence of authentic Christian higher education and should be wholeheartedly implemented across the campus and across the curriculum. This was once the goal of almost every college in America. This is no longer the case.... What happened was a loss of an integrated worldview in the academy. There was a failure to see that every discipline and every specialization could be and should be approached from the vantage point of faith, the foundational building block for a Christian worldview" (pp. 5-6). Tracing the history of the departure of American schools into secularism and surveying the kinds of Christian higher education institutions in North America leads to a defense of the system derived from Matthew 22:36-40 and the Great Commandment to love the Lord your God with your mind! The rest of the book explains how to go about obeying the Great Commandment in Christian higher education. Chapter 2 builds on this by explaining from the Scriptures the role of the Christian higher education institution and deals especially with the role of the Church, and therefore the Christian higher education institution in society. Chapter 3 explains the process of shaping a Christian worldview and the impact on this on Christian higher education. Chapter 4 is about reclaiming the Christian intellectual tradition. Dockery writes here after tracing the history of the Christian intellectual tradition "Certainly we all learn apart from the great Christian intellectual tradition, apart from the vantage point of faith. But we cannot connect these things into a unified whole, we cannot fully understand the grand metanarrative; we cannot truly grasp how to explore and engage the issues in history and science, business and health care, apart from this approach to learning. Thus we must seek to sanctify the secular because Jesus Christ has come to earth" (p. 84). Chapter 5 addresses the issues of integrating faith and learning. Chapter 6 addresses the necessary concept of developing a place of belonging and community where scholars, educators, staff, and students live together, share, serve, and learn. Chapter 7 begins to offer practical ways of establishing this grace-filled academic community. Chapter 8 articulates how to develop a theology of Christian higher education. Developing this theology would have positive implications for the academic community and the individual. Chapter 9 serves as the culmination of the book with thinking globally about the future. With the changes in communication we must embrace the new in order to communicate the orthodoxy of the past into a new global world. This means listening as much as talking especially as global Christianity begins to reflect non-Western images, positions, and principles. Christian higher education does not just simply say the West is best but listens to all Christian voices in order to best communicate the timeless truth in new ways. This is then concluded by an extensive bibliography on the integration of faith and learning. Dockery's book fills a great need in the area of Christian higher education. He states the issues and the problems, traces the history of Christian higher education, articulates a biblical defense of the integration of faith and learning as well as a comprehensive theological defense. Not only does he articulate this at an academic level but he does not neglect the spiritual aspect of things, emphasizing not just "smart" Christians but "spiritual" Christians. The movement from "theory" to "practice" in Dockery's book is exceptional. I hardly find anything in it that I would disagree with or anything I wish I say that I did not see in the book. It is an even handed treatment that should be read by those who care about Christian higher education and especially those involved in Christian higher education. May we see a renewal of a close integration of faith and learning on our campuses as we emphasize the great truth that all truth is God's truth. May we raise up godly men and women who are passionate about the truth and about serving Christ in the world around them through the Great Commission. And may those of us involved in Christian higher education lead the way through authentic spirituality grounded in the truth. Highly recommended!
