High-end electronics brand, Astell&Kern, launches its latest product: the A&ultima SP4000 Digital Audio Player.
Juiced-Up Astell&Kern SP4000: The Future is Here for Digital Audio Enthusiasts
Get ready to experience unparalleled sound quality with the latest addition to the Astell&Kern family – the A&ultima SP4000. After three years in the lab, this bad boy is packed with smart engineering and advanced technology, setting a new standard for digital audio players (DAPs).
The SP4000 is the first DAP from Astell&Kern to run on the full Android OS, letting you ditch limitations and explore your favorite streaming apps straight from the player. But fear not Android veterans, Astell&Kern's Direct Path technology bypasses Android's sampling limitations to save the day.
Constructed from luxury-watch grade 904L stainless steel and coated in PVD-ceramic, the SP4000's sleek design and durability will turn heads wherever you go. With a Shrunken Calf leather case from Perlinger, this player's expensive good looks will make any audiophile feel like a rockstar.
So what's inside this shiny exterior? Let's dive into it.
The SP4000's advanced Octa circuit architecture ensures clear and detailed audio, while its High Driving Mode provides a powerful, stable output that brings out even the finest sonic details. Say goodbye to bland, one-dimensional sound. With the SP4000, every note is rich and vibrant.
Most digital players process digital and analog signals together inside their DAC. The SP4000 takes it up a notch by reducing digital signal noise with a separate digital delta-sigma modulator (AK4191EQ) and a top-of-the-line AK4499EX DAC for the analog signals. The result? Less distortion, more clarity, and overall better sound quality.
In addition, the SP4000 uses proprietary Enhanced Signal Alignment (ESA) technology to improve group delay, ensuring accurate signal timing and enhancing sound fidelity. The Ultra-Low Noise LDO Regulator reduces noise by a whopping 97%, providing a cleaner, purer sound.
The SP4000 also boasts a new 4.5-generation user interface, with an immersive and smooth scrolling animation that's a joy to navigate. And with aptX Adaptive and LDAC codecs, audiophiles can enjoy 24-bit audio playback over Bluetooth.
With 256GB of internal memory, support for microSD cards up to 1.5TB, and a range of connectivity options – including USB, Wi-Fi, and aptX and LDAC Bluetooth codecs – the SP4000 has everything you need to get your music fix.
Expect the Astell&Kern's new flagship SP4000 DAP to be available this summer. Pricing details will be announced soon, so stay tuned!
