Key Features
The Astell&Kern A&ultima SP3000T Copper is designed for audiophiles who want to experience the best of both analogue and digital sound. This high-performance portable player combines cutting-edge technology with classic audio elements, allowing you to select from tube, op amp, or hybrid amplifier modes for a tailored listening experience.
Equipped with dual Raytheon vacuum tubes known for their military-grade durability and soft sound, these tubes deliver rich harmonics that bring your music to life. The tubes are carefully selected and paired for the best performance, ensuring a balanced, natural sound with minimal noise. Its Triple Amp System gives you three ways to enjoy your music. Choose between Tube Amp Mode for warm, analogue sound, Op-Amp Mode for high-resolution clarity, or Hybrid Amp Mode, which blends both. This flexibility lets you adapt the sound to your preferences and the type of music you are listening to.
Unlike most digital players, the SP3000T separates digital and analogue signal processing for superior sound quality. Using AK4499EX DACs and AK4191EQ modulators, this system reduces noise and enhances detail. With dedicated circuits for each channel, you get a clearer, more immersive listening experience that captures the full depth and richness of your music. Teraton Alpha technology is designed to replicate the original sound of your music with minimal distortion. By effectively removing power noise and providing stable amplification, Teraton Alpha ensures your listening experience remains pure and natural, bringing out the finest details in every track.
