  • Storage

    Storage is important. Even in this era of streaming music, you’d want to make sure you have enough space to store your amazing collection of music on your player. Imagine a long flight, it’s your offline files you’re going to be listening to.


    Keeping your entire collection of Hi-Resolution music in one place is the most convenient way of carrying your music library. However, Hi-Resolution files are heavy. Most songs in a FLAC format can be about 100mb per track. So more space is always better.


    Most players support both internal storage and expandable storage via an external memory card. Make sure you check both - the internal memory on players, and consider the maximum supported size of the expandable storage. It’s best to keep your library of offline files in expandable storage and use the internal storage for saving files from streaming apps.

Good

Good tube sounding dap. Power is less compared with flagship daps like N30LE, N8ii, RS8. My first A&K dap. Thanks headphone zone team for bringing it to India.

Hey there,
We appreciate your positive review of the Astell&Kern A&ultima SP3000T. We hope that the overall sound quality meets your expectations. Keep the music playing.

Performance and Pricing

The Astell&Kern is the top notch for DAPs. But when it comes to pricing, it should be slightly economical for everyone to afford for it. And as I'm from bangalore, and its a tech hub, I would appreciate if you could open up a store in Bangalore. So many audio enthusiasts will get opportunity to explore the products.
