Astell&Kern, renowned for their high-end audio devices, just introduced the SP3000T Copper Edition, a limited-edition model that promises pristine audio quality, everywhere you go. The SP3000T is a portable music player that allows you to carry your favorite tunes anywhere you go. But at a steep price of $4,200, would you buy it? Crafted with a 98.8% copper body, the SP3000T Copper Edition has exceptional sound quality and durability. The integration of a real vacuum tube adds a warm, authentic analog tone to the digital audio. Furthermore, the model was fitted with Teraton Alpha technology for immersive digital sound. The player’s modular design and silicone dampers also help reduce noise and vibrations. In the end, it has the best of the analog and digital worlds, or, as their creators call it, “Analog Warmth, Digital Precision“. Of course, all of these elements drive the price up, for which the Astell&Kern model hit the markets at its $4,200 price tag. This product is targeted at audiophiles who prioritise exceptional sound quality, so it will undoubtedly find some buyers out there. But would you choose it over a streaming service on your phone? Could the days of portable music players come back with the premise of flawless quality? [H/T] Digital Music NewsA Premium $4,200 Portable Music Player Just Hit The Market
