Offered is „SP3000 Silver“ by Astell & Kern as second-hand device from the category „Portable Audio“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 1722516314 ends on 31.10.2026 at 15:29 o'clock.
This is a standout DAP, and the asking price lands a bit above the usual used market without getting into unreasonable territory. With recent comparable EUR listings centered at €1,494, a range from €1,137 to €1,946, €2,000 is slightly ambitious, but not a deal-breaker if the unit is clean and complete.
The appeal here is straightforward: flagship-tier sound, strong build, and a player that still feels special in a crowded field. In good condition, it’s the kind of buy that rewards a serious listener rather than a spec chaser, especially if the original box, cable, and accessories are included. At this price, I’d want evidence of careful ownership and no battery or control issues, but a well-kept example can still make sense for someone who wants the SP3000 experience without waiting for a rare lower listing.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Astell&Kern emerged from South Korea's rich audio heritage, launching its first product in 2012 and officially founding as a brand in 2013 in Seoul. Rooted in the legacy of iriver's MP3 players dating back to 1999, the company—now a subsidiary of Dreamus—embodies a philosophy drawn from its name: "Astell" (Latin for star) and "Kern" (German for core), symbolizing an unrelenting pursuit of music's original sound. This origin story reflects decades of accumulated expertise in premium audio craftsmanship.
The brand focuses on high-fidelity portable and home audio solutions, excelling in digital audio players (DAPs) like the iconic AK100 and A&ultima series, alongside headphones, in-ear monitors through collaborations, home audio systems, and accessories. Their designs prioritize advanced noise reduction, proprietary amplifier architectures, and support for hi-res audio files, delivering uncompromised playback without venturing into speakers, turntables, or cables.
Positioned firmly in the high-end audiophile market, Astell&Kern commands respect among discerning listeners for its "Difference in Sound Quality"—a sensory depth that captures the emotion and space of every note. Renowned for luxury builds and cutting-edge R&D, it leads the global premium DAP segment, appealing to buyers who demand superiority over mass-market compromises.
