The Audiolab 9000CDT is a premium, transport-only CD player designed to pair with an external DAC or a DAC-equipped amplifier such as the Audiolab 9000A. It uses a high-precision tray-loading optical mechanism with a read-ahead buffer and master clock control to reduce disc-reading errors and minimize jitter. In addition to CD playback, it can play compatible audio files from USB storage and includes coaxial and optical digital outputs, a 12V trigger input/link, and a remote control.
