What amazes me is you have UA-cam reviewers that state they can’t tell the difference in sound on entry level DAPs versus these TOTL players.
There are a lot of people in hobby with terrible ears or discernment.
Super reviews sucks. He's in the wrong industry
That’s because there isn’t any difference it’s all imagination.
You most definitely can lol. I listened to the a $200 btr7 on dac mode and the basso dx180 $500 a couple hours ago and I could tell the difference. I’m 23 so I guess my ears are still good
@@Abhi-wn7swhis musical preferences are definitely interesting lol.
Excellent review and explanation of the SP3KT
Thank you kindly! 😁
Great Review... I have had mine for a while now... it is AWESOME.. LOVE IT>. Waiting for the NOVUS to ship... that gonna be something to see how it is tuned specifically for this...
Hi! How does it compare vs the Chord Mojo 2?
Astel & Kern never disappointed me and the battery life is not relevant for me.
Ive got enough money for SE300 , shall save it bit more get SP3000T ?is there huge differences between them ??
Hello Bozilmaz8,
Thanks for your question.
Both the SE300 and the SP3000T are excellent DAPs both have differences so it depends on what you are looking for in the sound.
The SE300 has a R2R resistor based DAC inside. This is back to the roots of Ladder DACs with newer technology. The sound is warmer (more analog) than the Sigma Delta DACs used in most current designs. It also has a Class A solid state amplifier section with it is also on the warmer side of the Solid State sound.
The SP3000T has the latest and best Sigma Delta DAC chip set so it is more detailed and transparent in comparison. it also has the flexibility of running the DAP in full Solid State sound, full tube sound or in Hybrid mode that will give you the best of the two world.
If you look for just a warm musical sound only the SE300 is a great DAP for that but if you want the best of flexibility and not wonder how a top of the line DAP will sound then go for the SP3000T.
It is a personal decision but I can tell you I own the SP3000 (which has similar chips as the SP3000T but without the tube) and never looked back.
Thanks,
Jose.
QUESTION: I have not heard the 3000, -- in your opinion, is the architecture of the 3000 vs. the 3kT really that noticeable or is it negligible ?
It depends entirely on how you will use the SP3000T. The Hybrid and Tube modes are very different from the SP3000. If you were to mostly use the solid state option on the SP3000T then the difference would be much smaller. The SP3000T in Hybrid mode has amazing warmth coupled with immense detail for the best of both worlds. They both well deserve top-of-the-line status.

And does it resample the bluetooth output to 96 KHz like Android through LDAC or preserves the original sample rate?
Please compare sp3000t with Shanling m9 plus, both are similarly priced, would love to see their sound comparison….
Good News! Moon Audio just picked up Shanling Audio. Thus look for reviews soon:)
Please review m9 plus first☺️
Good DAP video- covered all your bases. Request: I would like to see a series of videos on all your amplifiers from your site, but line stages separately. Please.
Which Amplifier in particular?
We've gotten this request a few times. Going over every amplifier would be quite an extensive video (there are 100's), but we'd love to hear a little more about what you're looking for if you can! 🙂

How does it compare to P6 Pro andd N30le?
I was really expecting your review.
For those 24 hours, 365 days a year users: Do you think that it will be posible to replace the tubes, or maybe change them for another similar tubes?
Imagine changing tubes as if they were AA batteries!
All Tube replacements and Battery replacements can be done via AK Support. However, You wont run them out in a yr:)
