You know a business is more than just a business if you type a common word into Wikipedia, and it comes up on the list of suggestions. So it is when you type in Blue: number six is Blue Note Records, the famous jazz record label. First started in early 1939, it captured the emergence of jazz and blues from the beginning of the modern period. Associated with such names as Thelonious Monk and Art Blakey, its collection is unsurpassed.
The 75 albums are essentials from this three quarters of a century, and include five new releases. The original analogue recordings have been remastered to 24 bit, 192kHz MQS (Mastering Quality Sound) format for the highest possible quality. Each album will be on its own microSD card contained in its own acrylic glass case. These are stacked in a decorative tower.
In addition to a book about Blue Note, the front and rear artwork for all 75 titles is included in both a separate hardcover book and in the cases for the microSD cards.
The Blue Note branded Astell&Kern AK240 music player is an uncompromising model which supports not only a wealth of compressed and uncompressed, standard and high resolution audio formats, but also natively supports Direct Stream Digital in both DSD64 and DSD128 types. With 256GB of storage built in, a 128GB microSD card slot, WiFi and Bluetooth, all your audio needs are covered.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
