The Audiolab 6000CDT is a dedicated CD transport featuring the same robust slot-loading mechanism as Audiolab's flagship 8300CD player. It employs read-ahead digital buffering to minimize disc-reading errors, enabling playback of scratched or damaged CDs unreadable by standard mechanisms. The master clock uses a temperature-compensated crystal oscillator for vanishingly low jitter on both coaxial and optical digital outputs. The coaxial output employs a differential line driver for optimal signal integrity, making it an ideal match for external DACs like the one in the Audiolab 6000A integrated amplifier. Housed in an electromagnetically shielded chassis with a dedicated power supply, it ensures precise digital signal extraction. Supports only standard Red Book CD audio (44.1kHz); incompatible with SACD, DVD Audio, CD-R/RW, or CD Text. Includes remote control, front-panel controls, auto standby (20 min or 1 hour), and dual 12V trigger outputs for system integration. Available in black or silver finishes.
