A new audio product needs time to burn in. It all has to do with the fact that molecules need time to settle down. A source needs at least 600 hours. I will play my SP3000 for 23 hours every single day for a period of 2 weeks. The reason for 23 hours has to do with the fact that the capacitors need time to be filled to 100%. When you let an audio product always on, the capacitors will have less electricity.

We advise putting off your audio system at the end of each day. And switch it on in the morning. You will hear a better dynamic range, more layers, and more resolution when you have put off all devices for about 5-6 days (try it).

Even the SP3000 needs time to burn in. So I will write a review after it has been played for at least 600 hours. The stage will become deeper and wider when the SP3000 is burned in.

What do you mean by closer? Also, what is extending more on the sp3000? what does that mean?

The vocals and the bass instrument are much closer together and closer to your years.

You could say the whole sound is more intimate, but it has less spatial separation compared to sp2000.

On Spanish Harlem, the quality of vocals was similar, not too different. The 3000 's highs and lows reached further slightly.

I think 3000 will work well on certain type of music such as those emphasis on energy rather than instrumental spatial positioning.

HI JasonNYC

Could you please tell the software people that the SP3000 is unable to read the Sandisk extreme pro 1TB micro sd card.

I tried using it today. The sp3000 could not read it and kept on restarting every 5 mins.

Thanks

But I think you won't be able to hear it because you can't remember how it was sounding 600hoirs ago...

I’m finding that instrumental spatial positioning on the SP3K in very good. I’ve had big smiles on my face a few times by what I’m hearing on some tracks.

 

[Bobby72]

I even know the sound and stage of my clients. I do this since I was 6 and was born with a photographic memory. I learned both what sound and music are. I can reproduce sound and stage as it sounds in real. I can read each audio product on its DNA. This means I can tell in detail which aspects/parameters of sound a product can reveal independently. I did test a few thousand products in 24 years' time. Most audio products lack one or more aspects of sound. This means that they can not reveal them.

I can give you a good example, at the last High-End audio show, there was no, I repeat no True High-End audio system due ot the fact that none of those systems could reveal all aspects of sound. So in reality it was a 100% Hi-Fi show. True High-End audio means by sound and stage that an audio system can reveal all aspects/parameters that sound possesses. But the whole trail&error system kept most people ignorant regarding sound and music. You can only understand and guide audio when you understand both sound and music.

If I recall, most if not all A&K players have a “volume lock” option on the top pull-down menu.

Thanks I found the wheel lock in the meantime. That's 1/2 covered. I really would like a button lock too though. A pull down menu option would be fine since that would allow you to quickly disable the lock when needed.

That's great, highs and lows extending even further than sp2000 sounds good, but regarding what you hear about spatial separation, that's the total opposite of what I've read so far, very interesting!!!

Are you human or robot?

a human who is addicted to music since I was 6, and made my profession due to my addiction. I started to work full-time on the 3rd of July 1998. And I learned what sound and music are. And I did a lot of research as well with the help of the best specialists in different areas. Emotion is the only key to success in audio. For this, you need all aspects/parameters of sound. Our emotions regarding music are triggered by 3 aspects, and you need to use them all to the max.

Matching the topic MQA I found something interesting. Of course it's fake; but how can that happen:

I was streaming Qobuz via Roon to the SP3000. The album: Chick Corea, The Montreux Years (Live), 44,1 kHz 24bit.
On the display below the album on SP3000 it is shown: 44,1 kHz MQA "a blue dot besides MQA".
Wasn't Qobuz and MQA a kind of anachronism?
@JasonNYC could you chime in and solve the problem?

I just looked at that album in Roon and it is in MQA on Qobuz. There are a few MQA albums on Qobuz, very little, but there are a few as those are the only digital versions of the album available from the labels. David Solomon from Qobuz has discussed this in the Qobuz Streaming Music Matters Facebook group. The SP3000 is displaying it correctly as MQA.

 

[Bobby72]

The former owner sold Tidal a month before the article I sent earlier. And it had a huge negative influence on the subscribers, they lost many. The Atmos choice is even more laughable. When you have an option for Qobus in your country, always choose this over Tidal. The differences in sound quality are clear.

Thank you for your enlightening explanation, Jason.
I was quite surprised to see MQA in Qobuz streaming.
