Astell&Kern A&ultima SP3000
This is more of a software quirk/issue than anything sound-related, as in my opinion, this SP3000 is one of, if not the, best of the many DAP’s I’ve owned. I have a multi-disc set (2023 Super Deluxe Edition release of The Who - “Who’s Next / Life House”) that consists of 10 CD’s. Through Apple...- uncle b

Thanks, @JasonNYC! Now, I think about it, I had just recently powered on the player! I was rushing things! The SP3000 is STILL such a great player. Thanks for always looking here and replying here, @JasonNYC, your kind of support is great!- uncle b

Astell&Kern A&ultima SP3000
Recently updated to latest firmware. Often have album artwork issues, and always seem to clean that up with a somewhat lengthy “media scan”…just noticed the “initialize media scan” option under Settings/System Reset is “greyed out” and not available…can’t figure out what’s up.- uncle b

Astell&Kern A&ultima SP3000
Respectfully, @JasonNYC, I had “tap to wake” off for a while, because of sensitivity issues, but I felt like waking the player by pressing on the volume button so often would lead to wear and tear on that beautiful dial/button! I find the SP3000 to be just large enough that every time I seem to...- uncle b

Astell&Kern A&ultima SP3000
Thanks! I think I’ll pick one of these up! Back when I owned an iBasso DX300 I had a very similar case and I liked everything about it in comparison to the one that was included with the player!- uncle b

Astell&Kern A&ultima SP3000
I love my SP3000 but I find when I’m going mobile with it, no matter where I touch it, I either wake the screen, press the volume wheel, or press one of the side buttons! It’s a big fella! Having the ability to disable some our all those options would be something I’d be interested in! @JasonNYC- uncle b

When WHEEL LOCK is turned on, will pressing on the wheel not wake up the player/screen? Bumping the wheel by mistake is a common problem for me. I’ll hafta check this out…- uncle b

Astell&Kern A&ultima SP3000
I have struggled with this, as well. I feel like the SP3000 is such a big fella, it’s hard not to press the wheel or the side buttons if you are using it in a portable way, going in and out of pockets! I’ve found the included leather case is so soft and supple, as well, that makes the buttons...- uncle b

Astell & Kern SR25: The next A&norma player
All the words above I now live by. I used to leave my SR25 plugged in ALL THE TIME to the port of my MacBook, as I was often loading and unloading music onto it. That is, until the shocking day, that the battery bulged, compromised the glue and pushed the back plate out, and I had to return the...- uncle b
