Hello, my name is Marcello, and I want to welcome you to the Source Audio Video Design Group's YouTube channel. On this channel, we will discuss Home Audio & Video, Personal Audio, Home Theater, Home Automation and speak with some of the movers and shakers in the music and HiFi industry. So, please consider subscribing today to show your support and ring the bell icon to get notified of future live streams and videos.

Today, I will share my impressions on the Astell&Kern Ultima SP2000T and discuss any incremental changes in firmware or performance from the initial first look video we did on the SP2000T. If you haven’t watched that video yet, I will link it in the video description for you. In that video, I discussed some of the features, build quality, design and gave some brief impressions on the sound quality of the SP2000T.

This video will focus on the quality of sound paired with several different headphones and some comparisons vs. the Chord Hugo 2/2go combo, my reference portable headphone amplifier, and DAC.

Headphones that were used to demo the Astell&Kern SP2000T for my sound impressions.
