Audiolab 7000CDT – Precision CD Transport
The Audiolab 7000CDT is a league of its own among CD transports—built to deliver crystal-clear digital playback, ultra-low jitter, and excellent mechanical reliability. More than just a CD loader, it offers seamless USB media support and a beautifully-engineered interface that complements refined DACs and integrated amps.
Why the 7000CDT Stands Out
-
Superior Digital Output
Featuring high‑precision sapphire-glass laser optics, electronic read-ahead buffering, and a high-accuracy crystal oscillator, the 7000CDT yields vanishingly low jitter and error-free digital output over both coax and optical outputs. -
Resonance-Controlled Design
The disc transport floats inside an electromagnetically shielded enclosure with its own power supply. Supported by a rugged aluminium chassis and vibration-resistant mechanism, it ensures accurate listening with minimal distortion. -
USB Media Playback
It doubles as a USB music player—compatible with FAT-formatted drives and formats like WAV, AAC, MP3, and WMA. Playback is viewable via the 2.8" full-color IPS display—including track and format details. -
Class-Leading Display & Usability
The compact IPS screen offers system settings, file navigation, and track metadata. You can dim or disable it as needed—or rely on auto source switching if a CD or USB drive is inserted.
What the Experts Are Saying
“The performance is utterly outstanding… [it] can rub shoulders with pricier components.”
