services like Spotify racking up millions of users worldwide. The problem is
that as the quantity of music available at any one time has gone up, so the
sound quality of our tunes has gone down. Result: splashy, brittle-sounding
low-bit rate tracks that are the audiophile equivalent of scraping your nails

blocky aluminium-and-glass digital audio player weighing in at a hefty
493g. But inside is where its real virtues lie – it’s here that pro-quality
components meet support for uncompressed audio for genuine sonic
thrills – it’s your music, only the way it was really meant to be heard.
Add 128GB of internal storage (plus microSD card support), nine-hour
battery life and bullet-proof build, and it’s clear while you’ll want one. The
