Astell&Kern A&ultima SP3000

so, sad to say, I received a defective sp3000 and it will have to go back. The output is static filled and pops around at a specific volume level, to bad.
Wow, that’s got to be very unlucky. I would have thought each player would have been test run as a final quality check prior to boxing up.
I hope you get your replacement unit super quickly, it would be awful if they made you wait for a repair - double check your serial number

Can i check how frequently u guys charge the 3K? everyday?

Every couple of days for me. I can usually squeeze out about 8 hours or so before I charge again.

Please update the thread with their repair/exchange speed, I would be extremely upset if I got a defective unit and not taken care of right away at the price being charged.

On a more positive note, the SP3000 does sound sublime.

I tried the battery life today. Played continuously with DAR (dsd), EQ for Odin so pushed amp and streaming roon. Got approx 8 hours for which I am quite happy. I usually leave on charge especially using during these long winter months. Summer will see it on battery by the pool.

I can probably get close to 9 hours, when I charge is when I’m usually around 15-20%.

Hello Jason,

How do you explain these subtitles in Corean I would say when the language is set to English ?

Hi Nomax..what about the LCD5? Thanks

......not enough power👎
(LCD 5 90 dB/1 mW )

NOMAX

PS.SP3000 drives only Headphones without loss of dynamic range which have an efficiency of at least 100db/1mw or above 👍

i have no hard feeling or any animosity here.
It happened, I buy from a reliable reseller and they will exchange the player. I was hoping to have it by the thanksgiving holiday to enjoy the player. This is still the hope, AK has always been very reliable and so I won’t let this experience sway me from continuing to enjoy the brand.
