New TOL A&K DAP : the AK Ultima SP1000
Jun 28, 2021 at 4:19 AM Post #8,897 of 9,411
Hey guys,

I have a mint condition SP1000 & AK240 Bluenote I'm selling for a great price if anyone is interested? I don't use them so much now and I have single SSID across both 5GHz/2.4GHz and this causes the SP1k to crash.

£2000 for both, let me know if anyone is interested.

Cheers

Hi, everyone and specialy A&K (JasonNYC)

Update for SP1000M, very good.
Then I hope that they solve the following confusions too:
1st: in the folder section (internal/external storage) you can delete the artist and/or album folder permanently, but not under the artist/album section directly, there only the songs will be delivered.
2nd: in the last firmeware A&K added in the album folder the possibility to sort by alphabet or year. Very good BTW.
But the sorting are from the newest to the oldest isn't logic, logical would be from the oldest of the newest (smallest number at the top, like at very file system).

BTW, if A&K would add the possibility to look the buttons when the screen is turned off (like the volume wheel)

Cheers

For the last few firmwares, my SP1000M settings will not load... It takes about 10 minutes after boot up before I can access Settings menu. Before that I just get a blank and black screen. Everything else works fine - I can browse & play music, drag down menu from top works etc. Just can't open settings to change paired devices etc. Anyone else have this issue?

Yester day I updated fw from 1.20CM to 1.62 latest one.
Pros: Dac filters
Cons: Wipe of all my sideload apk (NeutronMp, Netflix, Sonarwork, Chrome...)

I got dac filters but tradeoff too much!
YouTube Premium still works for me under the name Vlink but YouTube music.
And even Ytpremium working, it does not allow background running as I can do before.

Dac filter give effect to the sound. But it does not alway good at all secarinos.
More attacking with sharp roll off but tradeoff analystical sound, direct and straight sound to the ear.
While slow roll off is more analog, almost more musical, more distance to the sound. Flipside is less dynamic and kicking, less macro detail.

Want to see a day switching dac filter button will appears on the status bar

My SP1k still working on any usb headphones jack, as one in the picture.
Stock inear comes with galaxy note20U sounds so good on sp1k.
Hope a day it comes to puplic, usable for all users
