And as a Dane very pleasing to see it playing Enter Sandmen by Metalica with Lars Ulrich on drums...encountered this pic on the net today and thought kind o' cool

New TOL A&K DAP : the AK Ultima SP1000
- Thread starter Toolman
- Start date
Thank you, @JasonNYC , for the thread info. I moved my contents to the above mentioned thread.We showed this for the first time ever last month at Canjam at RMAF in Denver. There is already a thread on Head-Fi - https://www.head-fi.org/threads/astell-kern-acro-l1000.862530/
Should be releasing official information towards the end of this month.
Don’t mind my criticism, I still like a lot the SP+SE combo and use it almost every day.I am still recovering from the purchase of the SP1000 and during recovery I will enjoy the SP1000 and SE846 combo.
All the files of the "double display" albums are FLAC 24bit/44,1KHz ripped from the original CDs and all files of the album are stored in one and the same folder as //music/artist name/album name. I do assume its because the player are getting "confused" when indexing albums with special characters in the album names - but this is my random guess...
If you didn’t already try this (while you’re recovering.. ) try a set of SpinFit eartips, for the SE846 you need the CP800 model. IMHO, best comfort/SQ upgrade for the SE846.
Thnx for all the pictures!Thank you, @JasonNYC , for the thread info. I moved my contents to the above mentioned thread.
The Acro looks to me like a pairing for the KANN (purely aesthetic ascertainment..)

Thank you - SpinFit eartips ordered and should be arriving end of week...
O wow, that was quick.Thank you - SpinFit eartips ordered and should be arriving end of week...
I fortunately didn’t suggest you to buy a Ferrari..
Jokes aside, the SpinFit helped me postpone ordering the U18 Tzar until Black Friday (waiting for a 20% discount.. fingers crossed).
I hope it helps your “upgrade-titis” too!

Yes, I tried that but the uPnP wouldn’t work.. my router kept crashing whenever I enabled it...
uPnP on a router is different to uPnP music streaming services on a NAS.
You should not need to enable it on your router to stream from your NAS to your SP1000.
The leather case doesn’t help.
All leather articles have a tendency to attract and retain moisture from the atmosphere, from precipitation, from perspiration, therefore if you keep your sp1000 constantly in the leather case, it will oxidize faster.
So do you let your SP1000 naked? or do I get a plastic case?

Right now i use the heather case, but I ordered the Dignis one, that is made with alcantara.

If only ak380cu doesnt get tarnished.. i would have kept it forver.
Does sp1000cu get tarnished also?
Will we see an amp for sp1000?
How is the knob is loose?
I have finally decided to upgrade. But it is going to be final. If sp1000cu get tarnished easily i will go with sp1000ss.
Thanks

Bro, go for the SS version because none sp1000 cu owner can tell you a definitive truth on that ... when they say it doesn't get tarnished quickly, that means it will. I have the SS and it remains as it isIf only ak380cu doesnt get tarnished.. i would have kept it forver.

Yes, I suggest the stainless steel if you aren’t ok with needing to shine it once a month but boy oh boy is the copper a beautiful piece of art.. stainless steel is as well, just something about that copper. I’m really wanting to keep my copper AK380 and possibly will if I can recoup half the cost by reselling some items.

What's wrong with the standard case? Mine is holding up quite well. If it's a matter of esthetics, well then that's a different story. Beauty IS in the eye of the beholder.
As for SS vs. Cu, I have a 240SS and now the SP1000SS and have had no issues with either one's surface.
