audiolab 7000CDT CD Transport

Premium Performance and Class-Leading Value

Nestled between the audiolab 6000CDT and 9000CDT CD transports, the 7000CDT provides premium performance and class-leading value.

The 7000CDT improves upon the critically acclaimed 6000CDT with a new mechanism, the addition of USB HDD playback, and a new full-color IPS LCD screen. More compact than the 9000 series and perfectly matched to the 6000 and 8300 series, it maintains crisp ergonomics, high-quality engineering, and an excellent all-round performance. The overall look offers an aesthetic match for other audiolab components.

Seamless CD Playback

The 7000CDT uses a high-precision optical system with an electronic data buffer for accurate and seamless CD playback. Very similar in its technology to the 9000CDT, the 7000CDT uses a read-ahead digital buffer to reduce disc-reading failures, helping it plays scratched and damaged CDs that may be unreadable by conventional mechanisms.

To ensure that a flawless signal reaches the accompanying DAC, the coaxial output of the 7000CDT 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 jacks to exhibit vanishingly low levels of jitter (i.e., digital distortion).

Isolation from Vibration

The low-friction loading tray along with the sturdy aluminum base and chassis of the 7000CDT 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 these 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 Your Favorite Formats

In addition to the class-leading CD playback design, the 7000CDT also offers digital music files compatibly via a dedicated USB 'Type A' connection, to the rear of the unit. Popular hi-res and lossless audio formats are accommodated, including WAV, AAC, and WMA, as well as compressed legacy MP3 formats.

Full-Color Display

Taking a strong influence from audiolab's flagship 9000CDT, the 7000CDT improves over the 6000CDT with a full-color 2.8" IPS display with a detailed but simple-to-use GUI. The display provides a vivid representation of information, including system settings, format, folder, track details, and other data.
