HiFi Pig Magazine PICK OF 2023

The amplifier and CD transport are very well matched and make an excellent pairing, as one
would expect from components designed as part of a series. As such, both are definitely a
worthy investment.

7000A

Cambridgeshire, England – Since its launch in October 2018, Audiolab’s 6000A integrated amp has been a consistent best-seller, lauded by critics and loved by its owners for its useful range of facilities and adroitly balanced sound – a clear class leader at £649. Recently, the 6000A was joined by a new flagship integrated model, the 9000A, taking the 6000A’s established blueprint and elevating it across every parameter to deliver the epitome of ‘affordable high-end audio’ – uncompromising design, build and performance that rivals amplifiers costing twice its price tag.

As winter turns to spring, the 6000A and 9000A are joined by a third integrated stereo amplifier. The new 7000A nestles between its two siblings in terms of both price and performance, whilst adding a few tricks of its own. It builds upon the same design fundamentals as the 6000A, recognising that while an amplifier is still the beating heart of any high-performance audio system, just as it has been for decades, a truly versatile integrated amp now needs to cover many bases – digital and analogue sources, wireless connectivity for portable devices, a phono stage for playing vinyl, and amplification for headphones as well as speakers. But while the ethos remains the same, every aspect of the 7000A’s circuitry, both digital and analogue, has been enhanced to deliver updated facilities and upgraded performance.

7000CDT

Unlike some high-performance audio brands, Audiolab has never deserted CD users, as evidenced by the excellent CD-playing components that reside within the entry-level 6000 Series and flagship 9000 Series. These are CD transports, as opposed to CD players, which means they do not contain an integral DAC (Digital-to–Analogue Converter) – instead, they are designed to be connected to an external DAC of the user’s choice. The integrated stereo amps in Audiolab’s range all include their own high-quality DAC circuits, which makes Audiolab’s CD transports their ideal CD-spinning partners.

This spring sees the launch of the third CD transport in Audiolab’s current range. As with the other components that make up the company’s new 7000 Series, the 7000CDT takes the blueprint provided by its highly regarded 6000 Series equivalent and upgrades it in key areas the make a CD transport that sits between the 6000CDT and 9000CDT in Audiolab’s product hierarchy.

7000N Play

The new 7000N Play offers a significant step up from its still-current forebear. It similarly combines the versatility of the DTS Play-Fi wireless audio platform with Audiolab’s sonic know-how to deliver a great-sounding network streaming solution that is simple to set up and use, incorporating the latest Play-Fi module, extra features and a DAC upgrade in return for the modest additional outlay. Users can stream from any source connected to their home network – smartphones, tablets, PCs and Macs, as well as NAS drives and music servers – utilising the 7000N Play’s dual-band, dual-antenna Wi-Fi. It also connects wirelessly with other Play-Fi-equipped devices, enabling a fully synchronised multi-room set-up.

There are three ways to stream once the 7000N Play is connected to a broadband router via Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable. The first is via the Play-Fi app, which gives access to a variety of online streaming services including Tidal, Spotify, Amazon Music, Qobuz and Deezer, plus thousands of internet radio stations and podcasts, as well as streaming content stored on local DLNA-compliant devices. The second is Spotify Connect, which enables streaming direct to the 7000N Play using the Spotify app rather than the Play-Fi app. And the third is AirPlay 2, which gives access to Apple Music and other streaming platforms when using an iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple TV as the source/control device. AirPlay 2 is a new feature added to the 7000N Play, and an important one for Apple users.
