Nice but honestly I am getting tired of DAPs that all have sealed in non replaceable batteries. What do you do when the battery eventually dies (they all do)? Is it too much to ask to have a couple of screws somewhere to make replacement possible especially of such high priced units?

Send back for battery replacement. The battery replacement fee is pretty reasonable.Nice but honestly I am getting tired of DAPs that all have sealed in non replaceable batteries.

While this is a reasonable request I don't think there are many smartphone sized devices that have user replaceable batteries any more. I'm fairly sure that the EU will regulate this soonish which will change everything.

@JasonNYC I just got off the phone with my dealer about my preorder and he said there will be a delay in the silver SP3K. Can you confirm this and if it’s true why the delay?

Fantastic news for you!Must be something dealer specific. My dealer said that my silver SP3000 just arrived.
mine will arrive tomorrow - black one
Pre-orders for silver SP3000 were higher than our initial shipment received. We are fulfilling pre-orders as quickly as possible in order that the pre-orders were placed and hoping to get all pre-orders for silver fulfilled by early November. The black SP3000 should be available without delay if you would rather not wait for the silver. Your dealer should be able to provide you with additional information should you choose to change colors.@JasonNYC I just got off the phone with my dealer about my preorder and he said there will be a delay in the silver SP3K. Can you confirm this and if it’s true why the delay?

Nope, I'm in Europe.
A2A Australia told me they will have black units by Monday 10/10 and silver about a week later. I preordered silver on 14/9 so I’m hoping the delay for silver mentioned above doesn’t affect me.
Were you there last night too?A2A Australia told me they will have black units by Monday 10/10 and silver about a week later. I preordered silver on 14/9 so I’m hoping the delay for silver mentioned above doesn’t affect me.
I picked up my SP3000 at yesterdays event at A2A. It sounded sublime from the demo but can’t wait to give it a proper listen over the weekend
I was at A2A last night and was lucky enough to demo the SP3000, which took the crown as the most impressive DAP I've heard, besting the N8ii and the WM1ZM2.
Congratulations A&K on another classic player, destined to be coveted by Head-Fiers for years to come.
