The Audiolab 6000A MKII is a two-channel Class AB integrated stereo amplifier and DAC. It combines a 50 W-per-channel power amplifier, ESS Sabre digital conversion, an MM phono stage, a dedicated headphone amplifier, Bluetooth 5.1 with aptX/aptX HD support, and HDMI ARC connectivity. It can also operate as a preamplifier or power amplifier, making it suitable for compact hi-fi, vinyl, TV audio, and digital-source systems. The MKII replaces the original 6000A and adds the ES9038Q2M DAC, HDMI ARC, updated Bluetooth, and a revised power supply built around a 200 VA toroidal transformer and 60,000 µF of reservoir capacitance.
