Audiolab 6000CDT (Black)
CD Transport
£399
”No two ways about it, the Audiolab 6000CDT is a CD transport bargain – a true quality item at a price that often doesn’t buy you very much of anything.” ’Hi-Fi Choice’ – Recommended.
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.

Amazing sound, unbelievable price!
I bought this cd transport a few days ago to complete the upgrade of my hifi system. Unlike my previous cd player the Audiolab doesn’t have its own internal DAC. Instead it relies on an external DAC. The advantage of this is that you can use a DAC of your own choosing and tailor the sound to suit your own ears. I’m using a Wolfson DAC which is superb quality and with the cdt6000 I get sound which I think compares favourably with cd players costing 3-4 times its price. Very happy indeed!

Excellent service
I purchased a JBL Clip 5 today and what a brilliant piece of kit.
The base is punchy and lyrics are sharp and crisp.
The service from the Chester store was excellent as usual, always a positive place to visit with friendly, enthusiastic staff. 10 out of 10.

Excellent sound quality and great value
I wanted a separate, standalone CD transport, and reviews suggested the Audiolab 6000CDT played above its price point. Having lived with it for a few weeks, I agree. It took a couple of days to settle in, and now the bass, soundstage and 'reality' are notably better than using a (good) player as a transport. Everything works as it should, and it's neat and unobtrusive. The initial disc read takes a few seconds, but once running it is fast to react to controls. No real downsides at all, especially in view of the seriously good price.

New cd player
Bought an audio lab cd player to go with other kit I bought through Richer Sounds. The salesman had served me previously, knew what I had bought and recommended the cd player to match up. It did that well and I am very pleased.

A great addition to the Audiolab 6000A
I originally bought an Audiolab 6000A amp and Dali speakers, which all sounded great! After a trip back home to see family, I came back with a boot full of CDs but nothing to play them on. The 6000CDT was a natural choice and at a great price point. Staff were super helpful in the Holborn store and a couple of days later the CD transporter was delivered. It’s a CD transporter and not a classic player, which means you’ll need a separate DAC or, like me, one that is contained within an amp in order to help play the CDs. The DAC in the Audiolab amp is great and both look really sleek together. The setup sounds great and now I can relive those once forgotten CDs - especially the classic dance mix ones not available on Spotify!
