Full Description

What Hi-Fi? logo 5 stars

"Smaller, lighter and better sound: that's the promise. And the SP1000M doesn’t disappoint. The presentation is clean, clear, punchy and detailed, and music sounds as it should. It can make similarly priced machines, let alone more affordable digital audio players, sound dull, muffled or lifeless, thanks to the crisp transparency offered by this Astell & Kern device."

View Full Description

Astell&Kern constantly strives to master the philosophy of delivering original sound, they believe that the A&ultima SP1000 is the optimal product that produces the highest-quality audio. Astell&Kern were not sure whether it was possible to come up with a product that is different from the SP1000 while delivering the same sound quality, but they decided to take up the challenge so that more people could experience our products’ fidelity.

There were many trials and tribulations in making the SP1000, their best product, smaller. Astell&Kern were determined to not compromise sound quality in the process, and were ultimately developed the second A&ultima product, the SP1000M. The lightweight and portability of the SP1000M enables the user to enjoy original sound playback anytime and anywhere. The A&ultima SP1000M achieves greater portability, without sacrificing the level of performance found in the original SP1000.

Features

  • Octa-Core CPU for Next-Level Performance
  • AK4497EQ Dual DAC for Highest Sound Quality
  • 4.1 Inch HD Display
  • Highest Quality Audio of SP1000
  • Portable and Durable Aluminum Body
  • DNLA-Based AK Connect App
  • Open APP Service

Advanced User Interface

While the A&ultima SP1000M has the same intuitive menu composition as its predecessor, the SP1000, its user interface has been improved with the optional Virtual Back Key, which enables users to control the device more easily and conveniently.

Use the Floating feature to place the Virtual Back Key at a desired location or disable it by simply dragging it to the middle of the screen or turning it off from the Settings menu.

Faster Charging, Quicker File Transfer

Next generation USB Type-C support allows file transfer speeds up to 10Gbps and supports both data transfer and charging from the same cable. USB 3.0 protocol transfers data twice as fast when compared to other Astell&Kern players. Charging with a fast charger (at 9V/1.67A) takes only 3 hours and allows up to 10 hours of continuous playback.

* The maximum 10-hour continuous play is based on 16-bit/44 kHz, FLAC file format, screen off, 75 of volume playback.

* Fast charger (9V/1.67A) and general Charger (5V/2A) are not included in the package.

Ultimate Sound Quality

The latest AK4497EQ dual-DAC design and the upgraded CPU in the A&ultima SP1000M allows for accurate playback of native 32bit/384kHz audio with no compromise on sound quality. The music is played back, bit-for-bit, just as the artist and engineer intended for it to be heard. The A&ultima SP1000M also supports native bit-to-bit DSD playback up to 11.2MHz for the best sound possible.

Great Performance For The Ultimate Experience

The A&ultima SP1000M is equipped with an octa-core CPU which allows the player to produce the exact musical detail present in the original recording without distortion and provides a quick, lag-free operation. The A&ultima SP1000M features faster booting times, speedy file transfers, lag-free processing and a new intuitive user interface for the ultimate player experience.
