Audiolab 7000 CDT CD transport is a purist design without a built-in DAC. Doing a perfect pairing job with the 7000A or any other external DAC. It comes in black or silver to match the 7000A and/or 7000N.
Audiolab 7000CDT CD Transport
The 7000CDT is an affordable unit that is positioned between the 6000 and 9000 series. The major changes are the new colour display and a high-quality CD tray instead of the slot-loading mechanism. The power supply has also received an upgrade with a new toroidal transformer.
New Disc Tray
7000CDT features a superb disc tray mechanism. The tray is protected from electromagnetic interference in its separate compartment. In addition, there is a very accurate optical system and the loading tray has very low friction. The new colour display is larger than the old one, with more capabilities.
Power Supply Upgrade
The power supply unit was totally changed. Besides that, the main transformer got upgraded to a better quality toroidal one and smoothing capacitors were added. Moreover, the work and layout of the machine have been very thoroughly planned. Besides that, the shielding was improved in combination with the vibration damping. The damping prevents the noise of the high-speed motor from leaking into the audio chain.
Isolation from Vibration
There are several measures adopted to damp the vibrations originated from the high-spin-velocity motor in the 7000CDT. Such as the low-friction loading tray, a solid aluminium base, and the chassis.
Besides that, the transport is placed in its own enclosed space. Which is EMI (electromagnetic interference) shielded, and it has a separate power supply. All these factors lead to an outstanding digital signal extraction. While the proven resonance reduction helps go performance a step further and creates a beneficial effect in other Hi-Fi equipment and signal chains.
Digital Files in Any Format
Besides the class-leading CD playback design. The 7000CDT permits music files that are digital to be accessed through a dedicated USB ‘Type A’ port on the back of the unit. The player supports almost all hi-res and lossless audio formats. Including WAV, AAC, and WMA, and also compressed legacy MP3 formats.
Features and Benefits
- Dedicated CD Transport Unit: In essence. A CD transport is a component that completely focuses on the process of digital audio extraction. i.e Getting the digital audio bit stream from a CD.
- Slot-Loading Type: A slot-loading CD player, for instance. Has a feature where the design of the unit is intended to eliminate the problems of the container by discarding the use of a tray-loading mechanism.
- Optical and Coaxial Digital Outputs: The major benefit of this is that typically. One of them is used as a channel for the transmission of the audio or video signals.
- High-Quality Construction: Top-level workmanship quality is a feature that reveals how far the company team has gone in doing their work.
Summary of the Audiolab 7000CDT CD Transport
The 7000CDT, partially derived from the 9000CDT – the top model of the range, is an upgraded version of the 6000CDT. It comes with a full-colour 2.8″ (480 x 640mm) IPS display and a highly detailed yet very user-friendly GUI. So visually, the 7000CDT presents in a brightly lit and colorful way the information such as system settings, format, folder, track details, and other data.
Design and Durability
Compact build and ergonomic controls make the 7000CDT a worthy addition to any HiFi setup. A low friction loading tray and the robust aluminium base and chassis work to reduce vibrations and disruption to the high spin velocity motor system. Preventing skips and interference with the reading of the CD. Its ergonomic controls both on the included remote and the transporter itself, make it easy to understand and operate.
Resembling the sequential series, the 7000CDT fits in perfectly with your existing Audiolab equipment. Powered by an internal PSU and connected to the mains Via an IEC cable. You’ll find the Audiolab 7000CDT easy to set up and integrate into your HiFi system.
