Audiolab 9000CDT Flagship CD Transport and USB HDD Player (Silver)

Description

9000CDT

audiolab’s new 9000 Series represents a new standard in home
audio for the connoisseur.

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.

CD for the purist

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. The read-ahead
digital buffer to reduce disc-reading failures, helping the 9000CDT play
scratched and damaged CDs that may be unreadable by conventional mechanisms.

Isolation from vibration

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).

The low-friction loading tray, sturdy aluminum 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.

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.
