Ultimate sound within a compact casing Smaller and lighter than the award-winning SP3000, the Astell&Kern SP3000M maintains its scintillating sound quality whilst being easier than ever to take with you. Astell&Kern’s innovative HEXA-Audio structure separates digital and analogue sections for breathtaking detail, intense dynamic scale and the most true-to-life sound possible from a portable player.
Dedicated digital and analogue circuits for the lowest distortion By using dedicated circuits for digital and analogue circuits, the SP3000M delivers the lowest level of distortion possible. By keeping internal circuit noise to an absolute minimum, you get to hear even the quietest and most subtle musical nuances.
Reference quality DACs for sound to rival the best in home hi-fi Fitted with four AKM AK4499EX DACs (Digital to Analogue Convertors) and two separate AK4191EQ chips that handle digital signals, this reference portable has the processing power to match the very best in full-size hi-fi. Combined with Astell&Kern’s HEXA-Audio circuitry, it means you get astonishing resolution, with unprecedented dynamic scale and soundstaging.

Combined with the hugely capable DAC, this means sensational dynamic range, low noise and incredible detail from your top quality digital music files. For wider compatibility, it’s also suitable for use with MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) files.
Snapdragon processor for seamless performance Harnessing the power of AI technology, the SP3000M features Qualcomm’s powerful new Snapdragon Octa-Core processing. This ensures enhanced functionality across the board, covering everything from battery efficiency to seamless system control and, not forgetting, the finest implementation of file playback.
