Can a portable digital audio player be worth $2500.00?

The A&ultima SP2000T from Astell & Kern is feature-rich, uses some of the best sounding DACs available, and even throws in a tube amp to warm up the sound.

I tested the SP2000T against my favorite portable DAP and listened through a variety of headphones. I tried classical, hard rock, jazz, new age, and vocals to see if anything would bring this expensive DAP to its knees.

Please check my review of the A&ultima SP2000T coming soon in Secrets.

Mel Martin

Mel spent most of his life working in television journalism in Ohio, Florida, the BBC in London, and in Seattle, WA. He won a few EMMY awards along the way which most people mistake for bowling trophies. Being around all those expensive monitors frustrated him when he got home to his threadbare TV and stereo, so he began to improve things, brand by brand, upgrade by upgrade. He’s got a lovely OLED TV now, flanked by Magnepan 3.6r speakers, and a Home theater with an Epson Projector and Focal speakers. Also scatted about the house are HiFiMan headphones, and 6 Sonos Connect devices that are spraying his rather large music collection from room to room. Other equipment is from Oppo, Sony, Aurender, PS Audio and Emotiva. Musical tastes range from Classical to Jazz to New Age to classic Rock and Roll. Mel has written a biography of film producer Samuel Bronston (El Cid, King of Kings) and is working now on a second film related book. He resides in Arizona where, when he’s not adjusting his home theater, he dabbles in landscape and astronomical photography.
