It sounds identical to SS silver version, both different than Cu
The Onyx Black SP1000 is Stainless Steel with a black PVD coating, so the sound signature would be the same as the SP1000 SS.How bout the Onyx black SP1000? Does it sounds better than SP1000Cu?

Can you please confirm that none A&K portable music players use OLED screens. Thank you.The Onyx Black SP1000 is Stainless Steel with a black PVD coating, so the sound signature would be the same as the SP1000 SS.
Hi, I think the gold just has a different sound signature, but it's not 'better'; I and a lot of other people prefer the blue.I have a moss green SP1000m. I won’t sacrifice the discrete look even if the shining gold version maybe sounds a little better.
I never AB. This saves me a lot of money.
I heard it, it sounds just like the blue except there is a little less 'air' between the notes. Slightly 'thicker' sound.I was a click away from buying the Gold. I just can’t bring myself to do it with so little reviews out there.

I switched to gold from blue. To my ears, "air" is pretty much the same between them. But I hear just a bit of "edges" on every single note that presents better separation. It's like changing a regular font to bold style but just by a touch. I also sense slightly deeper decay. Anyway, I don't regret my decision.I heard it, it sounds just like the blue except there is a little less 'air' between the notes. Slightly 'thicker' sound.

I believe the EQ does work when outputting via Bluetooth. I'm not 100% positive as I've never been asked that question and don't use Bluetooth with any of the players. I will confirm. Maybe someone here who uses Bluetooth headphones can chime in also.Hi
Maybe an stupid question...
Can i use the equalizer in bluetooth mode and perceive any change of sound in my bluetooth headphones?
Or this is impossible in this or any other DAP?
@JasonNYC or anybody??

So I’m basically looking to add a bit more low end to my A18t, do you think the Gold would help with that or should I look into a different cable pairing instead?
Thanks.
Why not just bump up a couple db with the eq on sp1000? You should be able to get the desired results that way and not spend the extra cash.
OK, so 'bold' is bigger, thicker. Thicker notes. Hence less 'air'; I think we are saying the same thing!I switched to gold from blue. To my ears, "air" is pretty much the same between them.
