Amped-Up DAC Players

The 'SP2000T' Boasts Three Amplifiers & Automatic Volume Adjustment

— August 6, 2021 — Tech
South Korean consumer electronics brand Astell&Kern has elevated its digital-to-analog conversion (DAC) game with the introduction of the brand new A&ultima SP2000T, an innovative new DAC converter that uses a generous amount of amplification to offer a high-quality audio output.

This high-tech DAC converter makes use of the company's proprietary Triple Amp System, allowing users to choose between a trio of amplification modes that comprise tube amp, op-amp and hybrid-amp, which combines the previous two. Elsewhere, this gadget also features a Replay Gain option that takes volume adjustment into its own hands in order to guarantee consistent volume across different tracks.

Set to be launched to the public in October, the SP2000T DAC converter is squarely targeted to the audiophile demographic.
