Angeboten wird „A&ultima SP4000“ von Astell & Kern als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „D/A Wandler“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 5424837970 endet am 29.06.2026 um 15:52 Uhr.
Astell & Kern’s flagship SP-series players have a strong reputation for top-tier build, reference-grade sound, and real collector appeal. At €3,499, this one is clearly ambitious versus the current used market: it sits well above the €2,428 75th percentile and roughly €1,385 over the €2,114 median, so you’re paying a premium.
That premium only makes sense if it’s exceptionally clean, comes with box and accessories, and maybe has low hours or a recent battery check. If those basics are in place, it’s still a serious statement DAP with the kind of resolution, dynamics, and finish that keep A&K’s halo models desirable. If not, I’d expect negotiation room.
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.
