Description

The Astell&Kern A&ultima SP3000, perhaps the most expensive of them, is a music player that will give you the best sound quality possible rolling your way. The combination of innovation and fashion makes it possible to cater to every music enthusiast, especially those with high listening standards. Crafted from the same premium grade stainless steel beloved by luxury watchmakers. It’s an object of beauty made to last.

Astell&Kern A&ultima SP3000 Digital Audio Player

A&ultima SP3000 features the latest audio technologies to deliver a sublime musical performance. It’s the world’s first digital audio player with independent Dual Audio Circuitry—this complete separation of balanced and unbalanced output allows for the purest possible sonic reproduction. It’s also the first to use the new flagship AK4499EX DAC chip from Asahi Kasei, used in the innovative HEXA Audio Circuitry structure that separates digital and analogue signal processing.

Why It Stands Out

Another interesting feature of the A&ultima SP3000 is the high-quality audio it can deliver. It not only plays various music file types but also can sustain the highest resolution audio formats and play the music perfectly to every bit and part. The graphical interface makes music browsing very quick and fun.

A joy to use and listen to

The SP3000 is a delight to use, with its watch-style crown control joining a new 5.46-inch full high-definition display and a new-generation on-screen interface. This makes finding and enjoying your favourites, including streaming services, easier. Enjoy them, you will: Astell&Kern is the master at taking the very best audio components and making them work on a handheld device.

You’ll hear details and emotion in music you didn’t know existed – and that incredible performance is available anywhere you travel.

Unique technology for more authentic sound

Astell&Kern’s unique TERATON ALPHA technology has been further refined for the SP3000. Designed to produce audio playback as close to the original sound, the tech combines effective power noise removal, efficient power management, and unwavering amplification. Plus, it has a fully converted audio output interface.

The SP3000’s first-ever implementation of the HEXA DAC structure and independent dual audio circuit pairs with TERATON ALPHA’s sound solution to create incredibly authentic sound.

For the Audiophile in You

The A&ultima SP3000 is for those of you who are real music maniacs and will not settle for anything less than the highest sound quality.
