AK PA10 review:

Headfonia, Recommended: you get one of the widest dynamic ranges I’ve heard on an amplifier in this price range. Even if the Fiio Q7and Shanling H7 were marvelous devices, if we’re just speaking of the amp section, the Astell&Kern PA10 completely floors them in this regard. It’s truly noteworthy, as it effortlessly handles complex tracks and reveals every nuance in the music, keeping a black background that allowed me to be fully immersed in my music
