Hello,

I do need a advice, i have bought astell&kern sp3000 from second hand, i don't have a warranty. Issue i am facing is touch screen: it does work ok for some time but if any oil from fingers smudges stays on a screen it stops responding, if i clean it with the cloth it works (i need to do every minute ir so), it looks like touch screen is super sensitive, not sure if it just random freezing . How can it be fixed if it is possible and how much would it cost. Maybe someone has old firmware file and i could try to roll back from 1.20, seems like issues has started after updating to 1.17 an up? I can't find dex file online

I don't know if that makes sense or does anything, but it doesn't cost anything to try: you have the latest update, right? Have you tried a factory reset? With the PC/MAC and iPhone there are sometimes problems when I only update and never do a factory reset.

SP3000s release date is not even a year behind so no device can be older than that. Why don't you have warranty?

Hey, i have tried factory reset and running v1.20. I have updated via wifi. Looking for the firmware files online but there is no joy

I tried to pair the DAP device with the TV via Bluetooth, but the sound slips a lot, it's not enjoyable. have you experienced this too? Is there any solution for it?

Might be a problem with your TV's Bluetooth. My Samsung S95C supports Bluetooth v5.2 and works quite well with SP3000, although the codec used is only SBC.

I haven't experienced any audio sync issues.....yet

How does it improve the sound of the SP3k? Which lineout level do you use?

I chose the voltage output for balanced settings of 2.5V, and then experimented with both volume adjustment and fixed LO output.

There’s nothing to stop you from using your C9 with the SP3000…

hi.. how is the pairing with these 2 device? thanks

Anyone knows when we gonna get ARC 1.0.38?

Just an fyi: sp3000 from Bloom Audio, used Abyss Diana v2 from a friend.

Couldn’t be happier! Dap works perfectly, headphones are amazing and Bloom Audio was a pleasure to deal with.

One happy camper

I wonder how the SP3k performs with the DTC

You can sideload it now.

Version should be updated at next firmware update. You can download it directly from Roon and sideload it now if you do not want to wait.

Hi all, I am considering buying another SP3000 after I sold my first unit a while back.
The main point of attraction for me is its stellar Roon capability- how stable (or not) are people finding Roon Arc to be on the device? Many thanks in advance!

Any news on when Android's resampling will be circumvented to allow for lossless playback?

Cheers!

I've got a nasty ear infection which has stopped me from moving forward finishing off my review and as I know, based on some of my communication to friends on FB, they like to know how I feel about SP3000 compared to other dap.
In short, without going into detail, for my IEM usage, SP3000 is the best choice among the other three(N8ii, RS8 and LP6 Gold). It is the more refined, tastefully coloured out of them all. It extracts detail, without ever sounding harsh, the microdetail extraction blends perfectly with the overall sound. It is perfectly quiet, with zero background noise, UI is just okay to do what is needed.
On paper, SP3K offers fewer bells and whistles compared to its competitor, yet it is able to deliver where it counts, the sound. If I didn't have the other DAP, I would have bought a unit of SP3K for personal usage.
