AUDIOLAB 6000A. Amplifier with digital and analog sources
The perfect embodiment of what a contemporary integrated amplifier should be, the Audiolab 6000A exhibits exceptional versatility for a product of its price, covering compatibility with a wide spectrum of analog and digital sources, wireless connectivity for portable devices, a phono stage for play vinyl records, a refined DAC section, and even dedicated headphone amplification. All this without neglecting an amplification section for loudspeakers endowed with the transparency and punch that have given Audiolab so much prestige. It is the engineering of the 6000A that truly makes the difference as a result of the extreme care put into the design and execution of both the analog and digital sections. Thus, the DAC functionality is based on one of ESS Technology's sophisticated ES9018 Sabre32 Reference D / A conversion “chips” equipped with the exclusive 32-bit HyperStream architecture and the American firm's Time Domain Jitter Eliminator scheme to minimize noise. background and maximize dynamic range. Even more careful is the analog circuitry, configured in Class AB with Complementary Feedback (CFB) topology to guarantee superior linearity and excellent thermal stability. A generous power supply ensures firm control of the associated speakers while maintaining excellent dynamic range. Identical care is found in the preamplification section, designed to preserve the integrity of the musical signal and executed with high precision components, taking special care with their physical arrangement to avoid potential interference. The result is the quintessential English sound that Audiolab represents, updated to take full advantage of next-generation digital sources.
