Experience perfection firsthand with the true next-generation flagship, A&ultima SP3000, the pinnacle of audio players.

Astell&Kern's unique TERATON ALPHA technology is designed to produce audio playback that is as close to the original sound as possible through effective power noise removal, efficient power management, unwavering amplification, and a fully converted audio output interface. A&ultima SP3000 is also equipped with a Snapdragon 6125 Octa-core processor, so you can enjoy the overwhelming sound, faster system response, and a redesigned new generation user interface that moves comfortably and smoothly. The high-performance CPU, improved 8GB of DDR4 memory, and wireless communication parts are configured as one module, with the digital circuit parts arranged in the same area creating a single system on a chip (SoC). This maximizes the efficiency of the overall circuit configuration by providing more audio-only circuit space as well as reducing heat and noise from digital circuits.

With the SP3000, you can have fun creating your own sound style by selecting various DAC filters provided by the DAC manufacturer. Design your own sound with 6 different DAC filters. The SP3000 is also equipped with Digital Audio Remaster (DAR) technology, which was developed to deliver fine sound at higher sample rates. The high sample rate allows more refined play and offers delicate and analog-like original sound, helping you to enjoy the richness of the original sound, subtle differences in the nuance of the music, and rich sounds at a higher level.
