Audiolab 9000A

Conceived to become the nerve center of a high-performance stereo system, the 9000A is more powerful and versatile than any of the models that precede it, fusing, under a purist soul conception and with the complement of distinguished aesthetics, analog connectivity (new phono section included) and high-end classic digital with wireless connectivity (Bluetooth aptX HD) for portable devices and a unique dedicated headphone amplifier.

The available power is 100 continuous watts in Class AB per channel over 8 ohms, accompanied by the dynamic capacity that has made Audiolab so famous, while the DAC section combines the celebrated “chip” with 32-bit Saber ES9038PRO technology from ESS Technology and an analog circuitry with Complementary Feedback (CFB) topology.

In terms of digital compatibility, the 9000A can play files encoded in PCM up to 32-bit/768 kHz, DSD up to DSD512 and MQA. The new Audiolab is Roon Tested approved, while its menu management from an elegant and generous display screen with IPS LCD technology provides the user with great customization capacity.
