From the Dawn of Hi-Fi to 21st Century Digital - AR are Back

The new AR High-End & Digital division is a very serious company, part of the huge Voxx Corporation and very well funded for R&D, manufacturing and global distribution. The designer Arex Li and his colleagues are purist audiophiles and music enthusiasts and they are bringing some great products to market.

MARCH 2015 - AR M2 - A £900 audiophile-grade Hi-Res portable player to compete with Astell & Kern etc. 

MARCH 2015 - AR UA1 - A £400 audiophile-grade Hi-Res USB DAC / Headphone Amp, notable for outstanding sound quality and particularly for the powerful headphone amp, that will drive high-end headphones of any variety.
