Astell&Kern SP2000 Copper Digital Audio Player (DAP) Excellent condition has just started to get a slight bit of colouring in the copper.

The Astell & Kern SP2000 remains the gold standard for portable flagship sound, and at A$2,000, this listing is a genuine bargain. Ground truth from three recent AUD comparables shows a median of A$2,045, with the 25th percentile at A$1,841; this price sits just above that low end, making it a strong deal for an excellent-condition unit with cables and accessories included.
You’re getting the A&ultima SP2000’s all-new amplifier circuit, dual AKM flagship DACs, and 1TB total storage (512GB internal + 512GB microSD) in a stainless steel body that critics call the best DAP in the world. The included accessories and excellent condition add meaningful upside, especially at this price point where you’re paying less than the 25th percentile of recent AUD listings. No caveats here—this is a clear buying opportunity for anyone serious about portable audio.
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.
