However, the SP3000’s advanced HEXA-Audio Circuitry structure reduces the noise of the digital signal input through the AK4191EQ, a separate digital delta-sigma modulator, and the AK4499EX DAC is then designed to process the analog signals separately. By applying this unique design, digital and analog signal processing that is physically separated has been achieved for the first time in a digital audio player, and the overwhelming SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) is maximized, making it possible to experience an incredible level of sound that has never been experienced before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Astell \u0026amp; Kern A\u0026amp;ultima SP3000 Overview\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0065\/4432\/6771\/files\/sp3000-7.jpg?v=1691786395\" class=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilver Plated Shield Can\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eA shield can is applied to prevent various noise and electromagnetic interference from affecting the audio block.

Since the signal from the DAC is divided into unbalanced and balanced then delivered to the AMP, an Audio Switch is essential. However, when using a switch, there is a limit to the range that can receive the signal sent by the DAC, so most DAPs reduce the signal size first and then when the signal is transmitted back to the amplifier, it is necessary to restore the original signal size. This causes a limitation in improving the audio performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo overcome the limitations, our engineers designed a HEXA-Audio Circuitry structure using two AK4191EQs and four AK4499EXs, creating an innovative unbalanced and balanced independent dual audio circuit design.

Since the signal from the DAC is divided into unbalanced and balanced then delivered to the AMP, an Audio Switch is essential. However, when using a switch, there is a limit to the range that can receive the signal sent by the DAC, so most DAPs reduce the signal size first and then when the signal is transmitted back to the amplifier, it is necessary to restore the original signal size. This causes a limitation in improving the audio performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo overcome the limitations, our engineers designed a HEXA structure using two AK4191EQs and four AK4499EXs, creating an innovative unbalanced and balanced independent dual audio circuit design. As a result, the SP3000M achieves a SNR of 130dB, the best of any DAP available.

However, the SP3000’s advanced HEXA structure reduces the noise of the digital signal input through the AK4191EQ, a separate digital delta-sigma modulator, and the AK4499EX DAC is then designed to process the analog signals separately.\u003cbr\u003eWith such an unparalleled design, SP3000M physically separates digital and analog signals, completely boasting the perfect A\u0026amp;ultima sounds through the unmatched 130 dB SNR, equal to the SP3000, despite its much smaller size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStunning Audio Performance with Independent Dual Audio Circuits\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn order to create a truly innovative DAP, not just a great DAP, we tried to overcome the limitations of sound by envisioning an independent dual audio circuit that has never been attempted by anyone featuring a HEXA structure with unbalanced and balanced outputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlmost all other DAPs, including Astell\u0026amp;Kern, use an internal DAC for both unbalanced and balanced outputs. Since the signal from the DAC is divided into unbalanced and balanced then delivered to the AMP, an Audio Switch is essential. However, when using a switch, there is a limit to the range that can receive the signal sent by the DAC, so most DAPs reduce the signal size first and then when the signal is transmitted back to the amplifier, it is necessary to restore the original signal size. This causes a limitation in improving the audio performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo overcome the limitations, our engineers designed a HEXA structure using two AK4191EQs and four AK4499EXs, creating an innovative unbalanced and balanced independent dual audio circuit design. As a result, the SP3000M achieves a SNR of 130dB, the best of any DAP available.

Since the signal from the DAC is divided into unbalanced and balanced then delivered to the AMP, an Audio Switch is essential. However, when using a switch, there is a limit to the range that can receive the signal sent by the DAC, so most DAPs reduce the signal size first and then when the signal is transmitted back to the amplifier, it is necessary to restore the original signal size. This causes a limitation in improving the audio performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo overcome the limitations, our engineers designed a HEXA structure using two AK4191EQs and four AK4499EXs, creating an innovative unbalanced and balanced independent dual audio circuit design. As a result, the SP3000M achieves a SNR of 130dB, the best of any DAP available.

Thanks to this technology, you can enjoy amazingly vivid sounds only Astell\u0026amp;Kern can create.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost digital players process digital and analog signals together inside the DAC. However, the SP3000’s advanced HEXA structure reduces the noise of the digital signal input through the AK4191EQ, a separate digital delta-sigma modulator, and the AK4499EX DAC is then designed to process the analog signals separately.\u003cbr\u003eWith such an unparalleled design, SP3000M physically separates digital and analog signals, completely boasting the perfect A\u0026amp;ultima sounds through the unmatched 130 dB SNR, equal to the SP3000, despite its much smaller size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStunning Audio Performance with Independent Dual Audio Circuits\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn order to create a truly innovative DAP, not just a great DAP, we tried to overcome the limitations of sound by envisioning an independent dual audio circuit that has never been attempted by anyone featuring a HEXA structure with unbalanced and balanced outputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlmost all other DAPs, including Astell\u0026amp;Kern, use an internal DAC for both unbalanced and balanced outputs. Since the signal from the DAC is divided into unbalanced and balanced then delivered to the AMP, an Audio Switch is essential. However, when using a switch, there is a limit to the range that can receive the signal sent by the DAC, so most DAPs reduce the signal size first and then when the signal is transmitted back to the amplifier, it is necessary to restore the original signal size. This causes a limitation in improving the audio performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo overcome the limitations, our engineers designed a HEXA structure using two AK4191EQs and four AK4499EXs, creating an innovative unbalanced and balanced independent dual audio circuit design. As a result, the SP3000M achieves a SNR of 130dB, the best of any DAP available.
