I wish 5,5" OLED and 1 Tb finally realised into the SP1000. But, after the 3 generations (AK240, AK380, SP1000) we are still stuck to 256 Gb ! :frowning2:

Our "Test system" during MUNICH on the A&K booth: SP1000 + Shure KSE1500 compared to AK380 + Shure KSE1500.

Now I wish Shure could come with a balanced version of the Amp ! With the SP1000's balanced 2,5 mm issue apparently fixed, this will be great !

Cavalli Liquid Spark portable headphone amp.
Sorry for being somewhat off-topic, but can anyone provide me with an up to date link to the official Cavalli Audio thread on here?
It's vanished from my subscriptions and I can't find it by searching either..
Thanks, mmkay.
And back on topic, given that they're planning to allow 3rd party amps, how good is the built in amp already?
Would it perform well with IEM's that benefit from more 'juice'?
Many thanks :)

Looking for a balanced battery operated tube AMP for the A&K SP1000 ? Look no further.... even though it is more transportable than portable (130 x 44 x 180 [mm] ) :)

But... If it sound even better than my wonderful TU-05, then it is worth the extra weight...

Note that the Tur-08 is hybrid, so it is more powerful than Woo WA8, and battery life will be over 6 hours.

SP1000 and Hugo2 will be a great pair if you don't mind stacking and the added weight.
So buy this AK and not use its dacs plus only 1 SD slot?
