Offered is „SP3000M“ 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 228190479 ends on 20.12.2026 at 18:38 o'clock.
What should you be asking yourself first: is €1,300 a genuine buy, or just “good enough” for a desirable DAP? Against your own comps, it lands below the €1,500 median and above the €1,224 25th percentile, so it’s a solid fair-to-good ask rather than a steal. It is not bargain-bin territory, but it is clearly inside the sensible buying zone for this model.
That makes it attractive if the unit is genuinely clean, functions perfectly, and comes with the right accessories. The SP3000M is well regarded for its top-tier sound, strong build, and compact flagship appeal, so paying a bit under median can make sense if you want one of the better-sounding Android DAPs without chasing the absolute lowest market point. I’d be especially interested if it’s an original-owner, lightly used piece with box, cable, and no battery or port issues.
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.
