The embedded Deezer app will be removed in a future firmware update.

Give a new value to a musical instrument!
A&ultima’s second product, SP1000M, which was born with no compromise as to sound, gave a new value to Gold.
For the sound close to the original sound, please enjoy the beautiful musical instrument and music trip born with the combination of the gold plating and the brass about 99.7% purity combined with many attempts.

The “M” in SP1000M does not stand for a specific word, but rather encompasses directions that the product aims to pursue:

Mini – Smaller than the SP1000
Mania – For users who have a mania for original sound
Mobility – More portable
Mate – Perfect anytime and anywhere
Maximum – Produces the highest-quality audio
Moment – Listeners are in the present with music

Using Open APP Service
The Open APP Service enables the user to install specific APK music streaming apps to the device. Copy the desired APK into the Open Service folder of the product and install the relevant App in the Menu-Service of the product.

Advanced User Interface
While the A&ultima SP1000M GOLD has the same intuitive menu composition as its predecessor, the SP1000, its user interface has been improved with the optional Virtual Back Key, which enables users to control the device more easily and conveniently. Use the Floating feature to place the Virtual Back Key at a desired location or disable it by simply dragging it to the middle of the screen or turning it off from the Settings menu.

Great Performance for the Ultimate Experience
The A&ultima SP1000M GOLD is equipped with an octa-core CPU which allows the player to produce the exact musical detail present in the original recording without distortion and provides a quick, lag-free operation. The A&ultima SP1000M GOLD features faster booting times, speedy file transfers, lag-free processing and a new intuitive user interface for the ultimate player experience.

Ultimate Sound Quality
The latest AK4497EQ dual-DAC design and the upgraded CPU in the A&ultima SP1000M GOLD allows for accurate playback of native 32bit/384kHz.
Audio with no compromise on sound quality. The music is played back, bit-for-bit, just as the artist and engineer intended for it to be heard.
The A&ultima SP1000M GOLD also supports native bit-to-bit DSD playback up to 11.2MHz for the best sound possible.
