Unveiling a new era of portable audio, Astell&Kern presents the SP3000T, the latest addition to their flagship SP3000 lineup. This audiophile-grade device runs on a custom operating system, granting access to a curated selection of streaming apps to fuel your sonic adventures. At its core lies a powerful octa-core Snapdragon 6125 processor paired with 8GB of DDR4 RAM, ensuring smooth and responsive operation.
The SP3000T boasts a two-stage digital-to-analog conversion process for pristine sound. The AK4191EQ chip eliminates unwanted noise, while the AKM AK4499EX microchip meticulously translates the digital signal into an analog masterpiece. Astell&Kern's innovative engineering keeps analog and digital domains strictly separated, resulting in a noticeably purer listening experience.
This versatile device caters to both on-the-go listening and home entertainment.

Additionally, Roon Ready certification ensures seamless integration into your existing home audio setup.
Where the SP3000T truly breaks boundaries is its unique amplifier section. Two built-in Raytheon JAN6418 tubes elevate your music to new heights. Choose between «Tube Amplifier» mode for a warm, nostalgic feel, «Operational Amplifier» mode for pristine digital clarity, or the innovative «Hybrid Amplifier» mode that masterfully blends the richness of tubes with the precision of digital, unveiling hidden layers of your favorite music.
The SP3000T is slated for release in May at a price of $2,999. This feature-packed powerhouse caters to discerning music lovers seeking an unparalleled listening experience, wherever their journeys take them.
