Hi Arion as i know yr last choice is Stainless steal SP2000 may i know compare to SP2000 Stainless Steel & SP3000 Stainless Steel with is the best sound detail.... because i want to purchase one rhe gold plated. hope you can recommanded. Tks You
Hi! So after some time which is better, SP1000 or SP2000? I read varios comments on forums that users still like SP1000 better, SP2000 is too analytical and so, differences are very small etc.... So is it worth for upgrading to SP2000 and why? Thanks!
Versatility is most important in my book moving from portable amp to amp. Moving from desktop tube amp to say a electrostatic desktop amp. Then being able to connect it to a full blown home stereo system. I finally bought an Astell & Kern product and it surprised me. Surprised me so much that I’m going to get the SP2000. I was shopping for something with the AK dac in it but I don’t think that will work. Soooo I agree with you when AK come out with something it will be better. I will probably never buy an Astell amp as I have others and I want to keep using them but you hit home when you said it will be better.
Thanks for your confirmation on that the next ak will be better, if you have other maps, then yes, do use those ones. sp2000 will be expensive. Thanks for watching. which sp1000 did you get?
I bought the top of the line Fiio because of the coaxial output. I will eventually buy another AK with the optical output. I can’t really hear the difference between the two. They both ticked all my boxes but the outputs made the call for me. The other players didn’t have the features I wanted even tho I liked them but for versatility I need one or the other output.
it won't be much better then SP1000 (the one i have), and it will be even 70 grams more lol. I wish they would make lighter but no... But ofc those who haven't bought ye, 2000 is the way to go but those with 1000, just stay and forget about upgrading till the end of your lives LOL.
So you’re saying the stainless steel announces instruments better then the copper? Whereas the coppers pronounces vocals and bass better then the stainless steel?
yes correct John, but always try it first before deciding as this is subjective. Most audiophile members will say the same, this is for my friends who are into this too.
Hi John, yes you are correct and this is what my other audio friends say too. I always recommend to test it first as sound is subjective. We have not tested the sp2000 yet. I am hoping to test this on the 9th of next month as there is an audio show in HK. Will do a video for that. Thanks
Kann cube uses a different audio chip with purpose of cube is to drive all headphones and iem. sp2000 will have better instrument separation and wider sound stage and more detail

So, which one did you buy? A&K Sp2000 or iBasso dx320 or Fioo m17 or iBasso Dx320 or shanlang m9? I am soo confused should I buy Hugo 2 DAC or DAP

ticked all my boxes but the outputs made the call for me. The other players
didn’t have the features I wanted even tho I liked them but for versatility I
need one or the other output.
Personally i wish they'd have kept the carbon, as it is one of my favourite features. SP2k still looks nice though.
look is important, but cant wait to hear what it sounds like
How is it compared with calyx m
Hi again, sadly have not tried the calyx m. Might take a look and see.

do get the amp, once you have the amp, it's like the sp2000, sound wise

Arion's Review when is this model being released?
@@dzemoski45 From what I know, it should be out at the middle of next month.
Nah, I’d rather get the SP3000
Yes by all means wait, no need to hurry as they are very expensive. Also thanks for watching.
Sp3000 is ready guys, is time to buy it 😂
@@pedropicapiedra4828 nah, I’d rather get the SP4000.
Difference between sp2000 and cann kube?
Kann cube uses a different audio chip with purpose of cube is to drive all headphones and iem. sp2000 will have better instrument separation and wider sound stage and more detail
Kann cube should be more powerful if its anything like its predecessor.
Which headphones do you precognise ?
@Eggy Noggy
Mainly because the Ultima line of AK players were designed specifically for low impedance headphones and IEMs.
@Eggy Noggy
I have the M15 too, it's a tiny powerhouse, don't forget to get the DD leather cases for the M15.
