Perhaps, it's time to start reviewing the most expensive gadget of the past, and possibly this year too. The first rapturous sensations of buying have subsided ... <strong>Although I'm trying to deceive anyone, nothing has settled down yet, just a little bit of settled thoughts, and I'm ready to tell you about the A & ultima SP1000, the same player for $ 3,500.</strong>

Perhaps, at once I will begin this review with the necessary reservation. <strong>Yes, this player is expensive, very, very, expensive, it's obvious to everyone and does not require an additional repetition.</strong> Therefore, if you are tempted to share this opinion with others, you will not say anything new.

The updated flagship has changed both internally and externally. "Outside" it became noticeably larger, which allowed to increase the diagonal of the screen to 5 ", the volume wheel became incidentally and a switch, a fashionable USB-C connector appeared. Inside, two AK4497EQ DACs are used at once, the amplifier underwent processing, besides the traditional growth of characteristics like THD + N and SNR, the power of the balanced output also increased. The increased body also allowed the battery to be put in a larger capacity, which affected the running time, and to charge this battery was more fun, the support for Quick Charge appeared. <strong>Improved and non-sound part, for the player is now responsible for some kind of 8-core processor, and in honor of this A & K has been reworked familiar by previous versions of UI, refreshing it and making it significantly modern.</strong>
