Astell&Kern A&ultima SP3000

- Start date
I wanted to check the startup time of my SP3000 with the stopwatch of my smartphone: 44 sec
It seems to me an absolutely normal time

My startup time has extended after updating but I don’t give a damn.
There seems to be a behaviour on this forum that just because people paid 4000 for an item they are entitled to ask the poor AK guy here for a customised experience of the dap. It makes me laugh !

You are not alone pal, I am doing almost the same stuff as you, just that I buy CDs & use my AK Ripper to rip them into my SP3000.I gotchoo! I guess I’m one of the dinosaurs still walking this DAP earth: I still buy CD’s, encode them into ALAC and load them on to my SP3000. I’m fine with all the things that I do with phone…I do with my phone. “Music Only” is my SP3000.

You’re missing point because to improve the customization process you should request AK to send somebody out to rip your CDs from your AK ripper into your $40000 music machine.You are not alone pal, I am doing almost the same stuff as you, just that I buy CDs & use my AK Ripper to rip them into my SP3000.
Do people complain as much in the other DAP forums or is it just unique over here?

Yeah, the negativity did get to be a little heavy over here in this forum. I am greatly enjoying my SP3000, certainly much more after this weeks’ firmware update. All good with me!You’re missing point because to improve the customization process you should request AK to send somebody out to rip your CDs from your AK ripper into your $40000 music machine.

Oh yeah we are entitled because of it (sorry Jason, no offence!))My startup time has extended after updating but I don’t give a damn.

There are more complaints in others, but other have had more and worse bugs. Exception is Sony. But then there's a removal of high gain crisis they will face soon enough, as Sony has removed high gain in some regions with their new products like they have done in the EU (in the past).You’re missing point because to improve the customization process you should request AK to send somebody out to rip your CDs from your AK ripper into your $40000 music machine.

ugh I still don't know why. there isn't a US law that really requires this!There are more complaints in others, but other have had more and worse bugs. Exception is Sony.

They’ll follow once it’s the standard as the politicians will follow suit in EU and other places. It’s voluntary now…ah I guess it'll be up to boutique manufacturers. it's a shame.
Kinda curious as to why the government needs to tell people not to damage their own hearing. I certainly don't want or need any more hands on my personal business especially from a government, makes me shudder.
The SP3K is one of the best overall DAP experiences I have had. Sound is A+, which is the primary function.
