A new A&K player is on the horizon, called the SP2000T.
Looks like it brings all of A&K’s intended new technologies/approaches together in one unit - including three amplifier’s/modes (including a tube output), quad ESS9068AS DACs, on-board 2.5mm, 3.5mm and 4.4mm outputs, dual-band WiFi, LDAC support, updated core OS, and so on.
Interesting potential pre-cursor to the “SP3000” (or whatever the next flagship gets called), and nice to see the direction A&K seem to be going.
