Combining hi-end optical media support with the convenience of digital playback, the 9000CDT CD Transport with USB from Audiolab in silver makes for a useful addition to any audiophile's system. For those looking to get into CD collecting or have an existing library, the high-precision optical system within the 9000CDT offers multiple features to ensure uninterrupted playback, even from scratched and damaged media. Other aspects ensure a pure signal with minimal distortion is passed to your optional external DAC or amplifier. The transport also conveniently offers a rear USB-A port for connecting optional flash drives to quickly enjoy various digital formats, such as WAV, AAC, WMA, and MP3.
As CD media gets older and harder to find, media quality can be questionable, which is why Audiolab worked to ensure their technology provides smooth playback. They do this by first equipping the 9000CDT with a high-precision optical system, and then adding buffers to eliminate skips and disc-read failures, such as an electronic data buffer and read-ahead digital buffer.
Unlike a CD player, audio is untouched and sent to your external DAC or amplifier for playback, and with the 9000CDT, that signal is made to be as clean as possible. The coaxial output is fed from a different line driver, and the master clock is controlled by a high-accuracy crystal oscillator. This enables digital output from both the coaxial and optical outputs to exhibit excessively low levels of jitter (digital distortion).
To further eliminate damage to the audio signal through resonance, the 9000CDT's transport is electromagnetically shielded and separately mounted with a dedicated power supply, the loading tray is low-friction, and the base and chassis are constructed from sturdy aluminum.
To help control and manage your audio, Audiolab seamlessly integrated a 4.3" IPS LCD with an easy-to-use GUI, providing information on system settings, format, folder, track details, and more.
