Audiolab 6000A MKII & 6000CDT (Black)

Taking a step forward in every area, the Audiolab 6000A MKII delivers better sound and connectivity for unbeatable all-round amplifier excellence.

An award-winner made even better
The original 6000A was a multi-award-winning amp with the ideal blend of features, sound quality and style. The latest Audiolab 6000A MKII takes all that’s great about the original and makes it even better. A new power supply and DAC enhance the sound quality, while the addition of an HDMI socket improves the already excellent connectivity.

Signature Audiolab sound
Continuing its 50 watt, Class AB amplifier, the 6000A MKII stays true to Audiolab’s audiophile, award-winning heritage. New to the MKII model is a revised transformer and power supply. The improved spec builds upon the typical Audiolab sound signature, with crisp dynamics, immaculate timing and finely resolved detail. Like all Audiolab amplifiers, the 6000A MKII ‘tells it like it is’, for the most natural and lifelike sound.

The best in digital audio
Upgraded to an ESS Sabre ES9038Q2M DAC (Digital to Analogue Convertor), all your digital sources, including your TV, sound better than ever. This flagship DAC supports 32-bit/768kHz PCM files and incorporates HyperStream II architecture for ultra-low noise levels and exceptional detail. The MKII amp also features new filter circuits that further refine the listening experience.

Connect to all your digital sources – including TV
Maximising the new DAC’s full potential, the 6000A MKII has the widest selection of digital inputs yet. The new HDMI interface is perfect for connecting to your TV and, thanks to its ARC (Audio Return Channel) circuit, means that you can stick to using your TV’s remote for volume adjustment. Twin optical and coaxial inputs let you hook up your CD, Blu-ray/DVD player, games console and more.

Enhanced Bluetooth your smartphone music streaming
For quick and easy music streaming from your smartphone or tablet, simply pair via Bluetooth and enjoy wireless streaming. The MKII has upgraded the Bluetooth technology to 5.1, with aptX HD. This means that you get to enjoy your music in more detail than before, with superior clarity and depth.

And not forgetting your turntable
With all its digital connections, the 6000A MKII still hasn’t forgotten about your analogue sources. As well as three line level inputs, there’s also a handy turntable input for decks with a MM (Moving Magnet) cartridge. The high quality, low noise phono pre-amp delivers a full-bodied balance that does justice to the warmth and depth of vinyl sound.

Excellent sound for your headphones
Incorporating a dedicated headphone amp with current-feedback circuitry, the 6000A MKII makes the ideal device for your headphones. Dynamic and detailed sounding, the 6000A MKII’s headphone amp is a big step-up on most amps. It also offers ample power, so it drives even the most current-hungry ‘phones.

Maximise the music from all your sources, with the new improved, Audiolab 6000A MKII.

If you already have a DAC or digital amp, the Audiolab 6000CDT is the ideal CD transport for optimal performance.

Transport only, for your choice of DAC or digital amp
As a transport only, the Audiolab 6000CDT comes without a built-in DAC (Digital to Analogue Convertor). This not only saves you money but also gives you the freedom to choose your own DAC; or partner the CD transport with a digital amp, such as the matching Audiolab 6000A.

Choose the output that’s best for you
Featuring both optical and coaxial digital outputs, the 6000CDT works with almost all DACs and digital amps.

Top quality, slot-load mechanism
Using the slot-load mechanism from the highly acclaimed 8300CD, makes this player faster to load and cleaner in style. Doing without the traditional loading tray also reduces the chance of resonance, potentially improving sound quality still further. Using a read-ahead digital buffer, it’s also more tolerant of imperfect discs that might be scratched or dirty, letting you play your most loved discs that other players won’t.

Smooth style
With its slot-loading mechanism, the 6000CDT looks pure and sleek in design. A choice of silver or black, blasted aluminium finish means that the player will fit in with a wide range of other hi-fi components.
