Audiolab 9000CDT CD Transport 

About The Audiolab 9000CDT CD Transport

With CD still being a ‘go to’ medium for many audiophiles, the 9000CDT is a premium offering bringing digital music playback to match the beast that is the Audiolab 9000A.

The 9000CDT is a dedicated CD transport that incorporates a high-end mechanism developed to suit the industry benchmarks set by Audiolab performance philosophies.

Following in a long list of award-winning Audiolab CD playback devices, the 9000CDT uses a high-precision optical system with an electronic data buffer for accurate and seamless CD playback. It has a read-ahead digital buffer to reduce disc-reading failures, helping the 9000CDT play scratched and damaged CDs that may be unreadable by conventional mechanisms.

To ensure a flawless signal reaches the accompanying DAC, the coaxial output of the 9000CDT is fed from a differential line driver. The master clock is controlled by a high-accuracy crystal oscillator, enabling the digital output from both coaxial and optical sockets to exhibit vanishingly low levels of jitter (digital distortion).

Isolation From Vibration: The low-friction loading tray, sturdy aluminium base and chassis of the 9000CDT work to tackle vibrations that are experienced due to the mechanics of a high-spin-velocity motor. Further, the transport is mounted in its own, electromagnetically shielded enclosure with a dedicated power supply. All of which contribute to the exemplary digital signal extraction, while the proven resonance reduction further improves performance and onward effect in ancillary Hi-Fi equipment and signal chains.

Digital Files In Any Format: In addition to the class-leading CD playback design, the 9000CDT also offers digital music file compatibly via a dedicated USB 'Type A' connection, to the rear of the unit. Every significant hi-res and lossless audio format is catered for, including WAV, AAC and WMA, as well as compressed legacy MP3 formats.

Full Colour Display: Sporting a 4.3” IPS LCD screen with a detailed but simple to use GUI, the 9000CDT offers a vivid representation of information including system settings, format, folder, track details and other data.
About Audiolab

Formed in the early 1980s by Philip Swift and Derek Scotland, Audiolab earned worldwide acclaim with the 8000A – an integrated stereo amplifier that became a classic ‘step-up’ from the budget models of the time. During the ensuing years, the 8000A established itself as one of the most successful British amps ever produced, and was joined by a range of electronics including CD players, pre/power amps and an FM tuner.

In 2010 Audiolab began the introduction of its latest full-width 8200 Series components and in 2011 the arrival of the M-DAC heralded a new compact LAB range. Since the launch of the 8200 Series and LAB Series, Audiolab has won more major awards in UK hi-fi magazines than any other brand of high-performance audio electronics.

2015 saw the launch of Audiolab‘s brand new 8300 Series. With a long working relationship with Audiolab, world renowned audio designer Jan Ertner headed up the design of the 8300 series and then the 6000 Series in 2018. The 6000A was the first in the series to be released receiving many significant awards from UK hi-fi magazines and online influencers, setting the precedent for the 6000CDT and 6000N Play.

About The Audiolab 9000CDT

The 9000CDT is a standalone CD Transport which also features USB hard drive playback. It can, of course be used with any digital to analogue convertor, be it a standalone model or one contained in an amplifier or streamer. However, just one look will tell you that this beauty has been designed to match one particular component and that is the Audiolab 9000A integrated amplifier with built-in DAC. Together, they are a match made in heaven and we highly recommend the combo. Buy with confidence, you won’t be disappointed.
