New TOL A&K DAP : the AK Ultima SP1000
Feb 26, 2019 at 8:14 PM Post #5,521 of 9,406
A question for former AK240 owners who are now SP1000 owners ...

Is the amp in the SP1000 noticeably more powerful than what’s in a 240 using the SE output?
Why not go to A&K website and check specs!!! :ksc75smile:

No worries, it’s surprising a pretty standard spec is ignored by A&K.

The 1000 is quite powerful. It can handle any iem. If you have phones, post what kind, I'm sure someone here has experience with what you have and can answer your questions re how the 1000 drives them.

Anybody using an SP1000 to directly drive a Utopia or D8000? Does the SP1000 sweat when doing so?

Drives my Utopia from the balanced output well.

Amazon has been selling the fast and reliable Samsung EVO plus 512 GB micro sdxc card directly for several months on its European sites,
e.g. amazon.de:
https://www.amazon.de/Samsung-Memor...8&qid=1551037325&sr=8-2&keywords=512++gb+sdxc
Now the price has dropped to less than € 150: when I ordered several cards a few months ago, they were costing €250... so I lost several times € 100...:triportsad:

Some reseller sell them on amazon.com, with fulfillment by amazon, for less than $150:
https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Memo...8&qid=1551037325&sr=8-2&keywords=512++gb+sdxc

Just thought I'd post that I bought this reseller's Samsung 512GB, formatting it as FAT32 and my AK240 recognized it (and let me copy music to it, etc). So thumbs up!

I find the 64Audio A18t custom to be my favorite of all iem with the SP1000, its as resolving a setup as I've ever heard . Plus you can also tweak the tuning some with the m15 or m20 modules. I just recently purchased several Effect Audio cables to round out the setup with the Eros II pictured below.








Damn, that's a REALLY sexy setup! Thanks for the pictures!!!

Is there anyone that went from the blue or black M to the Gold and isn’t happy with the purchase for the price difference?
Sorry to say but I'm happy that I went from the blue to gold.
