Astell&Kern Introduces The All-New SP3000M - A Hi-Res Portable Audio Player

Astell&Kern presents the hi-res portable audio player, the SP3000M. It is embedded with 4 of AKM’s flagship AK4499EX DACs and 2 separate AK4191EQ chips for hi-fi sound and supports native DSD512 up to 32bit/768kHz. This compact portable audio player features high-end components like Hexa audio circuit, TERATON ALPHA sound solution, Snapdragon 6125 Octa-core processor etc, for an unmatched sound performance. The M in SP3000M signifies Mini-size, Mobility as its portable, Maximum as in its best performance, Mania-A product for those with a passion for vivid sounds, Mate as a perfect companion for an audiophile and Moment- adding the sentiment to life's mundane moments. It is certified by Roon as it supports a roon-ready player for delivering hi-res built-in streaming technology. Astell&Kern SP300M is certified with MQA(Master Quality Authenticated) to provide the sound of the original master recording.

Equips Hexa Audio Circuit With Four AKM’s Flagship DACs & Two AK4191EQ Chips

Astell&Kern SP3000M houses 4 AKM’s flagship AK4499EX DACs and 2 separate AK4191EQ chips to deliver coherent sound and support native DSD512 up to 32bit/768kHz. These chips are embedded in an advanced Hexa audio circuit structure that reduces the noise of the digital signal input through the AK4191EQ, a separate digital delta-sigma modulator. The AK4499EX DAC is then designed to process the analog signals separately. It provides an unmatched 130 dB SNR, equal to the SP3000. This configuration allows you to enjoy amazingly vivid sounds

Features Independent Dual Circuit With Silver Plated Shield Can For Enhanced Signal Transmission

Astell&Kern SP3000M features an innovative independent dual audio Circuit that offers distinctly balanced and unbalanced output. Usually, the AMP receives balanced and unbalanced audio signals that require an audio switch. This switch limits the range of the signal sent by the DAC and reduces the signal size when transmitted back to the amplifier. To restore the original signal size of the audio, the engineers utilised this configuration to deliver detailed audio. It features a silver-plated shield that separates digital and analogue signals to prevent noise and electromagnetic interference and provide excellent and detailed audio. 

Houses Patented Teraton Alpha & Snapdragon Processor For Efficient Performance

VU Meter GUI For An Immersive Music Listening Experience

Astell&Kern SP3000M is equipped with iconic and historic audio equipment, the VU Meter GUI that displays the voltage levels of voice signals to measure and adjust volume. Beyond its primary function, the VU Metres' unique design and retro charm help to enhance the immersive music-listening experience. It is conveniently accessible through the bottom navigation bar and allows you to monitor sound levels while viewing album art or streaming via our Open App Service.

Experience Speaker-Like Audio With Crossfeed Effect

TERATON ALPHA is Astell&Kern's proprietary technology designed to deliver accurate, detailed sound. It provides power noise removal, efficient power management, unwavering amplification, and a fully converted audio output, resulting in sound that is true to the original recording.

The Hexa audio circuit combines four DACs (AK4499EX) and two AK4191EQ chips in a multi-tiered architecture to reduce digital noise and process analog signals more effectively. This design provides an ultra-low noise floor and clearer sound with enhanced separation.

The VU Meter GUI is a retro-style audio display that visually represents the voltage levels of voice signals. It adds charm and a sense of immersion to the listening experience by letting users monitor sound levels while enjoying their music.

The Crossfeed effect mixes signals from one channel and sends them to the opposite channel with a slight time delay, centering the sound image, similar to speaker-based sound. It is particularly useful for those who enjoy speaker-like audio from headphones.

The Digital Audio Remaster (DAR) technology in the Astell&Kern A&ultima SP3000M enhances sound by increasing the sampling rate of audio files, providing more detail and clarity, especially in lower-quality recordings. This technology enriches the listening experience by upscaling audio for a more realistic sound.
