The Ultimate in Audio Reproduction

The Astell&Kern A&ultima SP3000T is a premium DAP designed for the most discerning audiophiles. Combining the innovation of digital technology with the unmistakable warmth of analog tubes, it delivers uncompromising sound quality. Designed for those seeking excellence in music reproduction, the SP3000T is equipped with cutting-edge features that ensure an immersive and precise listening experience.

High-Resolution Audio and Wide Format Compatibility

The A&ultima SP3000T supports a wide range of audio formats, including WAV, FLAC, WMA, MP3, OGG, APE, AAC, ALAC, AIFF, DFF, DSF, and MQA. With the ability to play files up to 32-bit/768kHz and native support for DSD512, this DAP ensures excellent sound quality in any format. Additionally, MQA decoding lets you experience music exactly as it was recorded in the studio.

Triple AMP Technology: Tubes, Op-amps and Hybrid

One of the SP3000T's distinctive features is Triple AMP technology, which offers three amplification modes: tube, op-amp, and a hybrid combination of both. The RAYTHEON JAN6418 MIL-SPEC tubes, which can be integrated into the amplification, offer a warm, analog sound, perfect for those seeking a more organic and emotional listening experience. Op-amp amplification, on the other hand, guarantees unparalleled digital clarity and precision. Hybrid mode combines the best of both technologies, combining the emotion of analog sound with the precision of digital.

Latest Generation DAC for Superior Audio Quality

The A&ultima SP3000T is equipped with Asahi Kasei AK4191EQ and AK4499EX dual DACs, which physically separate digital and analog signals, dramatically reducing noise. This technology achieves superior audio fidelity, offering noise-free and detailed music reproduction like never before.

Refined Design and Quality Materials

The SP3000T's chassis is crafted from stainless steel, plated with 99.9% pure silver, ensuring durability and a timeless, elegant aesthetic. This finish not only protects the device but also adds a touch of luxury to the design, perfectly in keeping with Astell&Kern's signature attention to detail.

Powerful Internal Hardware and Advanced Connectivity

At the heart of the SP3000T is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6125 octa-core processor, supported by 8GB of DDR4 RAM, which delivers exceptional performance and unparalleled fluidity. The 5.5-inch Full HD touchscreen display ensures an excellent visual experience, while Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac) and Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX™ HD and LDAC support ensure seamless syncing and streaming.

Expandable Memory and Long-Lasting Battery

With 256GB of internal storage expandable up to 1TB via microSD card, the A&ultima SP3000T can hold a massive amount of high-resolution music. The 5050mAh internal battery provides up to 10 hours of continuous playback, while Qualcomm QC3.0 fast charging significantly reduces standby time, requiring only 3.5 hours for a full charge.
