Installation is as simple as plugging it into the mains and then your amplifier so even technophobes will have no trouble having this little puppy up and running in less than a minute.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eAudiolab's DC Block promises to remove RFI\/EMI whilst banishing 'DC on the mains' to deliver pure, rebalanced power to audio and AV system components. Audiolab's DC Block is the company's first product designed to improve the quality of AC electricity we feed our audio and AV systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eMains electricity has a fundamental influence on the audio signal as it passes through a system, from source to amp to speakers. The mains supply in a typical dwelling is subject to interference induced by a range of issues, causing the AC waveform to distort before it reaches each component which can create noise in the audio signal and degrade sound quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eOne common issue is 'DC on the mains' – a problem well known to affect the performance of audio equipment, especially amplifiers. In theory, the mains electricity we obtain from the sockets in our homes should be pure AC; however, we're told that the presence of 'asymmetrical loads' causes the waveform to become offset, resulting in DC voltage on the AC supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThis is where the DC Block comes in. By blocking or cancelling DC voltage found within the AC mains supply, the unit corrects the DC offset and rebalances the mains sine wave.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eAdditionally, this dual-action device is said to boast a high-performance audio class filtering circuit that removes RFI\/EMI contaminants from the mains supply. This reduces both differential-mode noise (exacerbated by cheap switch-mode power supplies used by many home appliances) and common-mode noise (aggravated by airborne interference from phones, Wi-Fi networks and Bluetooth).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe Audiolab DC Blocker helps to unlock the sonic potential of any audio component to which it is connected.

That's why we sell Isotek products and why almost all our staff use their cables and mains conditioners in our systems at home. The main deterrent has always been cost, as a full Isotek solution can run into the thousands. That's why we are so happy to welcome the Audiolab DC Block to our family of mains conditioning products. At the price, there is absolutely nothing that can touch it. Even if it were twice the price we would be happy to recommend it. And boy does it work. We had a sit down to test it when it came in and we were shocked by the improvement it made to the tone and clarity in the midrange, the blackness of backgrounds and the increase in rhythmic drive \u0026amp; dynamics, all from a little box that sells for so little we think it's a steal, an absolute steal.

Instead they pass on the digital audio signal straight on to a DAC or an amplifier with a DAC via digital outputs like coaxial or optical outputs. Connecting to an amplifier or DAC via the digital output means that the signal remains in its original digital form for as long as possible, unlike traditional CD players. As the signal remains digital and turns analogue at the very last minute and with a minimum of extra cables and connections, the signal will suffer less from analogue signal deterioration. This way the sound you're hearing is much closer to the original recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main advantage of using a CD transport instead of a CD player is the versatile and flexible options it can give you.

Integrated Mode combines the pre and power amp stages for the connection of digital and analogue sources to the amp's inputs and a pair of speakers to its binding posts. Pre-Power Mode disconnects the pre and power amp stages. This allows the 6000A to be used solely as a power amp. Finally the Pre Mode disables the power amp stage, turning the 6000A into a standalone preamp. This enables external power amplification to be added giving you the option to upgrade if you wish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAudiolab's 6000A Review From Hi-Fi Choice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Audiolab's 6000A is a cracking budget integrated with just the right amount of facilities, a snappy and engaging sound, sufficient power and fine build.

No company knows more about making the most of this 32-bit, eight-channel hybrid multi-bit Delta-Sigma DAC technology than Audiolab; the 8200CD and 8200CDQ were among the first audio components to use it and the company has been honing its implementation ever since. The conversion process involves 512 DAC elements (256 per channel) each operating at 84.672MHz – all digital audio sources, whatever the sample rate, are upsampled or oversampled to this frequency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExemplary Jitter Reduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Around the DAC chip are extensive measures to reduce jitter (digital distortion) to vanishingly low levels.

Audiolab resolves this issue via its CATDA (Cascaded Asynchronous Time Domain Attenuator) circuit. This circuit isolates the DAC substrate from sonically deleterious artefacts that affect non-synchronous digital input data. To achieve the best possible performance, three identical cascaded stages are used – each individual stage provides increased isolation, thereby maximising timing performance, even at higher RF frequencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSelectable Digital Filters:\u003c\/strong\u003e As digital audio reproduction technology has progressed, the importance of the characteristics of reconstruction digital filters has become more appreciated.

It incorporates a highly specified, audiophile-quality digital preamplifier and Class A output stage for connection to a power amp and speakers (the output can be fixed for those who wish to use an existing preamp or integrated amp), in addition to a high-quality output for headphone use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eM-DAC+ A Classic Improved\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe new M-DAC+ is based firmly on the classic M-DAC, with carefully targeted improvements in key areas – a logical move, given the original model's sustained popularity over the last few years. The M-DAC built a peerless reputation with press and public alike since its launch,  scooping multiple Product of the Year Awards from the likes of What Hi-Fi?, Hi-Fi Choice and EISA to make it arguably the most critically acclaimed DAC component ever made. \"The Audiolab M-DAC+ gets an awful lot right – so much, in fact, it comfortably justifies its '+' designation\". ~ What Hi-Fi?

This is surrounded by exceptionally well-specified circuitry that puts other similarly priced DACs to shame, including a proprietary, discrete master clock to minimise jitter, coupled with extensive time domain isolation. A JFET Class A output stage ensures that the audio signal, following conversion from the digital domain to analogue, is of the highest quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh Performance With DSD: \u003c\/strong\u003eUnder the hood lie a number of performance-related enhancements. The M-DAC+ now processes audio data up to 32-bit\/384kHz via USB; this is a far higher specification than that required by current hi-res music formats, ensuring this premium-quality addition to the M-DAC family is fully equipped for future advances in ultra-high-definition digital sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe USB input now also accepts DSD files (the digital audio system originally developed for Super Audio CD), offering compatibility with DSD64, DSD128 and DSD256. This is a significant addition, as DSD has an important role to play in the developing high-resolution digital download scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable Sound For All Sources \u0026amp; Tastes:\u003c\/strong\u003e As digital audio technology has progressed, the importance of the characteristics of reconstruction digital filters has become more appreciated. The M-DAC+ features user-selectable filters for optimal listening and measurement modes, in addition to more conventional types for easy comparison. These filter settings allow the user to tune performance to suit his or her preference, depending on system configuration, digital file quality and musical taste. The M-DAC+ has seven filter settings for PCM files and another four for DSD playback, allowing the user to optimise the noise floor to suit the performance of the source file and the bandwidth of associated equipment such as amps and speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnhanced Sonic Performance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Another important change relates to the power supply, which has been upgraded and is now incorporated within the M-DAC+'s chassis. A precision-wound toroidal transformer uses multiple windings to feed separate analogue and digital rectification stages. From there, multiple power supply sections feed the necessary voltages to each area of the DAC, keeping any crossover interference to a minimum. The result is the highest performance power supply Audiolab engineers have yet specified for a DAC, and its contribution to the M-DAC+'s enhanced sonic performance is significant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eAudiolab M-DAC+ Reviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\"The Audiolab M-DAC+ gets an awful lot right – so much, in fact, it comfortably justifies its '+' designation.

Not to mention a host of menu options for optimum performance and user-defined settings. Various display options are provided, which also include two VU meter options, allowing the 9000A to be visually informative or, in the case of 'display off' settings, a discreet centrepiece of any audio system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDigital Face with An Analogue Heart\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDifferentiating itself from rivals within its category, the Audiolab 9000A blends digital capability with an analogue pedigree. Premium level D\/A conversion, as one would always expect from Audiolab, allows a range of digital sources (over four digital inputs) to be connected directly to this high-power integrated unit. Yet, based on over 40 years of amplifier design pedigree, not to mention a recent history of multi-award-winning audio solutions, the 9000A also caters for analogue device integrations (via three line level RCA, one balanced XLR and a dedicated MM\/MC phono input).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe world of modern audio enjoyment is not limited to wired playback devices though, hence the 9000A also supports wireless connectivity via Bluetooth and digital audio via a PC USB connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 9000A is the brainchild of lead designer, Jan Ertner. Famed for a plethora of class-leading and award-winning audio electronic models, Jan has pushed the 9000A to the highest levels of performance by evolving and redeveloping the principles that created the 8300A and uber-successful 6000A, to deliver the most exceptional performance ever seen in an Audiolab integrated amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e9000A Features a Flagship DAC\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 9000A features the latest ESS 9038PRO flagship 32-bit DAC chip. Using the critically acclaimed patented HyperStream® II architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator, the ES9038PRO delivers an unprecedented performance level that will satisfy the needs of the most demanding audio applications - befitting an amplifier of the 9000A's calibre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYears of experience and countless ESS-equipped models mean that Audiolab is more than familiar with making the most of this technically excellent, but challenging, DAC technology. Great attention has been paid in developing a system that allows Audiolab electronics and ESS DAC technology to offer the best in audiophile performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe amp's four S\/PDIF digital inputs – two coaxial and two optical – handle hi-res PCM data up to 24-bit\/192kHz and benefit from a host of user-selectable digital filters that allow the user to optimise the response to suit the source file and bandwidth of the partnering equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVia USB, PCM audio is supported to 32-bit\/768kHz, alongside DSD to 22.5MHz (DSD512). Every significant hi-res and lossless audio format is catered for, including FLAC, ALAC, AIFF and WAV, as well as compressed legacy formats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e9000A Hi-Res Streaming Technology of MQA\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 9000A also delivers full decoding of MQA, the hi-res streaming technology from a custom engineered MQA certified DAC solution. This means that the complete 'three unfold' decoding process is performed internally, as opposed to just the final unfold in the manner of an MQA 'renderer', which makes the 9000A an excellent system choice for subscribers to Tidal's 'HiFi Plus' tier where Tidal Masters (MQA) content can be found.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs expected for modern audio playback convenience, Bluetooth connectivity is featured as standard with the 9000A stepping up to the aptX HD protocol for sonically superior and easy wireless streaming from smartphones, tablets, laptops and more. Bluetooth-paired devices also benefit from the quality of the amp's DAC section and filter options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 9000A's discrete Class AB power amp stage delivers 100W per channel into 8 ohms (160W per channel into 4 ohms!). Unlike over specified competitor models, the genuine 100W per channel will put the 9000A up against the best in its class. Referring to the standards set with the Audiolab 6000A (rated at 50W per channel), the 9000A's 100W per channel will undoubtedly satisfy the most demanding of loudspeakers and their power hungry masters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA key to the Audiolab performance is the world-famous CFB (Complementary Feedback) topology, which ensures superior linearity and excellent thermal stability, as the idle current is kept independent of the temperature of the output transistors. An all-new and custom specified 320VA toroidal transformer, followed by 4 x 15,000uF reservoir capacity (60,000uF in total), helps the amp to maintain firm control of the music whilst enabling excellent dynamic range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn an effort to maintain consistent signal purity, with line input signals passing to a precision analogue volume stage, the preamp section is kept as simple as possible. As with all of Jan Ertner's designs, the circuity is a work of art in more than layout and architecture. The very design protects the sensitive preamp section from noise interference and colouration - a key cornerstone of the Audiolab philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Performance Phono Stage: \u003c\/strong\u003eWith every iteration of integrated amplifier design, Audiolab works to improve on the bench-mark, built-in phono stage section. The 9000A is no different; pushing the boundaries of performance of an onboard phono pre-amp section. The all-new phono pre-amp for 9000A offers compatibility for moving magnet - a JFET-based circuit with precise RIAA equalisation offers the best of both worlds for the turntable using Audiolab fans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimilarly, for the headphone output stage employing current-feedback circuitry with wide bandwidth and high slew rate; the 9000A ensures a dynamic, detailed and engaging performance with all manner of headphone types, with that extra added Audiolab sparkle from the consistent signal integrity from all inputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible \u0026amp; Capable: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Audiolab 9000A continues with the theme of flexibility in audio system integration. As is a staple to the Audiolab integrated amplifier design, the 9000A offers three variations of operating mode, making it a versatile and essential component in any system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe primary mode is 'Integrated' – this combines the pre and power amp stages, for the connection of digital and analogue sources to the amp's inputs and a pair of speakers to its binding posts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'Pre-Power Mode' disconnects the pre and power amp stages. This allows the 9000A to be used solely as a power amp – for example, connected to an AV processor in a home cinema system. It also enables additional signal processing to be added, by connecting the 9000A's 'preamp out' socket to an external processor, then returning the processor's output to the amp's 'power amp in' socket, making the most of its gargantuan 100W per channel performance and critical performance characteristic of the 9000A's pre-section, regardless of what magic the user wants to implement in between!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, 'Pre Mode' disables the power amp stage, turning the 9000A into a still glorious standalone preamp. This enables external power amplification to be added, thus providing a possible upgrade path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAudiolab 9000A StereoNet Review\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Across all sources, Audiolab's new 9000A proved a highly capable performer that unlocks pretty much any type of music and lets the listener in. It has no obvious foibles or flaws that distract, and serious power output that takes the worry of driving tricky speakers out of the equation.

I often find that reproduction is slightly sharper and better defined. There's greater immediacy and focus, faster transient attack, plus clearer low-level detail. Such was the 9000CDT, which also, by the way, sounded superior to the 6000CDT. Subjectively, it proved more focused and articulate, teasing out lots of subtle detail that makes the music more commanding and engaging. There's less smearing, less fudging, less haze, less fog…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVia the 9000CDT, CDs had more of the immediacy and clarity that you expect from SACDs.

Installation is as simple as plugging it into the mains and then your components so even technophobes will have no trouble having the DC Block 6 up and running in no time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMains electricity has a fundamental influence on the audio signal as it passes through a system, from source to amplifiers to speakers. The mains supply in a typical home is subject to interference induced by a range of issues, causing the AC waveform to distort before it reaches each component. This creates noise in the audio signal, which degrades sound quality – a situation that continues to worsen with more and more electrical devices being added to the home mains supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDC Mains Supply\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne common issue is 'DC on the mains' – a problem that is well known to affect the performance of audio equipment, especially amplifiers.

Less than 500mV of DC – typical in an average household electricity supply – can be sufficient to cause toroidal transformers of the kind often found in amplifiers to become saturated, which adversely affects sonic performance and may cause audible mechanical vibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Audiolab DC Block 6 is a six-way solution for this all-too-common problem. By blocking, or cancelling, DC voltage found within the AC mains supply, the DC Block 6 corrects the DC offset and rebalances the mains sine wave. But tackling 'DC on the mains' is not the only benefit delivered by this dual-action device – it also contains a high-performance audio-class filtering circuit that removes RFI\/EMI contaminants from the mains supply. This is effective in reducing both differential-mode noise (exacerbated by cheap switch-mode power supplies used by many home appliances) and common-mode noise (aggravated by airborne interference from phones, Wi-Fi networks and Bluetooth).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA specialised six-way power optimisation device of such impressive efficacy, DC block 6 is available in black or silver.

The front panel display can even be set to display a VU meter in 'analogue' or 'digital' form; showing real-time decibel levels for the left and right channels – a satisfying graphical representation of the music as it plays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with all Audiolab electronic hi-fi components, the Audiolab 7000A yet again delivers with remarkable sonic consistency, a plethora of source and connectivity options and crisp styling. Regardless of the source material and format, the 7000A is lively and engaging but also never loses focus on the musicality and detail. Broadness, depth and toe-tapping rhythm are assured. The benchmark in this price class is elevated – it's now in the 7000 series domain!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAudiolab 7000A Reviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"For me, Audiolab's new 7000A integrated amplifier is pretty much the ideal, modern all-in-one. It looks great. It's built to a high standard. And it sounds brilliant across all genres of music – and now movies. And it just works. I mean, what more do you really need?\" \u003cstrong\u003eAndrew Robinson\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"First impressions were of a clean and open sound that was tonally natural and smooth. Musically the results were crisp and detailed, and there was power to spare. Allied to this was an attractive ease and refinement; the amp sounded cultivated and gracious. But was the musical presentation maybe a tad circumspect? I felt so at first, but after a few days of use, the sound began to open out, becoming freer and more flowing. Focus and precision were maintained, but overall the results felt crisper – less contained, less constrained.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 7000A certainly showed its mettle on classical music – recordings of acoustic instruments in a natural acoustic sounded great. It was excellent on jazz too, delivering a clean, precise sound that was detailed and natural – but be warned, there is no added richness or depth and no fake warmth. What you hear is truthful and accurate, not something spiced-up with euphonic additives. This is very much a 'nothing added, nothing taken away' sort of amplifier. Given a sound so clean and precise, you're almost encouraged to listen at slightly increased volume levels…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClarity and dynamic attack were hugely impressive – especially after I increased the volume slightly. Down south, the bass proved to be lean and tight. A slightly fuller, fatter bottom end might give the subjective impression of added power and heft, but I'd rather have a taut bass than one that's fat and slow. Overall, this integrated amplifier sounded darn good and better than one might expect, given its reasonable price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough perhaps not the most viscerally exciting performer, the new 7000A is always believably authentic and truthful. It is wholly natural, comfortable to listen to, and therefore easy to forget – you just hear the music. Yet it's also capable of snappy attack and crisp dynamics too. This company has always made quality amplifiers that do everything that needs to be done, without getting into trouble. That neatly sums up this new design, which is unobtrusively competent and always in control. It offers great value for money, giving those on a restricted budget a large taste of Audiolab's flagship model for much less money.\" \u003cstrong\u003eStereoNet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Choose The Audiolab 7000A Amplifier?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sleek-looking Audiolab 7000A has clean amplification and a versatile feature set for putting together a sweet-sounding two-channel audio system.
