This is a buyer’s market only if you can negotiate; at A$675, the asking price sits above the 75th percentile A$610 for recent comparable AUD listings, so it reads as ambitious rather than fair. Against the median of A$575, you’re paying a meaningful premium for the privilege of buying now.
That said, the unit itself has a strong reputation: the SA700 is valued for its clean, lively sound, solid build, and premium Astell&Kern interface, so it remains a desirable player for someone who wants a distinctive portable source. In excellent condition, the upside is mainly in avoiding cosmetic wear and battery issues, but at this price I’d want at least the original box, cables, and a clean battery report to justify the stretch.
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.
