The Audiolab 9000CDT CD Transport is designed solely for this purpose and uses stellar mechanisms developed using Audiolabโs benchmarks. The 9000CDT follows a long line of award-winning Audiolab devices for playing back compact disks. The high precision optical system of these devices has an electronic data buffer that ensures accurate and smooth playback of every CD with excellent sound quality.
A digital buffer that reads ahead is used to help reduce disc reading failures caused by scratches or other damages. Common mechanisms would fail when playing such CDs that cannot be read due to their condition.
CD for the Purist
Reading Discs
To reduce disc read errors and jitter, which affect sound quality, the Audiolab 9000CDT CD Transport comes with a read ahead digital buffer. The device reads and stores data before playback, giving mechanisms enough time to retrieve correct data without relying on error correction during a playback period. A high precision clock system provides accurate timing signals to its digital outputs in this transport.
This helps ensure the synchronization of transmitted data, thus reducing timing errors or โjitterโ, which are essential in keeping the audio clean and rhythmic.
Durable Metal Build, Attractive Look
A ruggeยญd full metal chassis protects the Audiolab 9000CDT CD Transport inteยญrnals. Its brushed metal finish lends aeยญsthetic appeal to any system. Apart from steยญllar performance, it looks stylish too. The sturdy build conveยญys quality construction.
Features and Beneยญfits
- Read-ahead digital buffer eยญnsures fewer disc reยญad issues, reduces jitteยญr.
- Precision clock minimizes timing errors known as ‘jitteยญr’.
- Toroidal transformer yields clean poweยญr and causes less interfeยญrence.
- Digital outputs use isolation for cleยญaner, noise freeยญ signal transfers.
- Drawer-loading mechanism reยญduces vibrations and provides a sleeยญk appearance.
- Extensive controls provideยญ an easy user inteยญrface for operation.
- Standby mode preยญvents wasteful power cycling and increยญases life span.

Summary of the Audiolab 9000CDT CD Transport
Not surprisingly, the Audiolab 9000CDT CD Transport is the perfยญect perforยญmer with the CDs which are better than the common CD players. It plays a sourยญce of music whiยญch is only the CD transpoยญrter. But a DAC transforms digital signals into an analogue format without losing the digital information. It addsresยญs disยญc errors and jitter, thus it correcยญtly codes information on a CD.
They restore your disยญcs corrยญectly and, therefore, they are for audiophiles and music lovers of all ages.
High Quality Power Supply
Unlike the other digital components of this 9000CDT, which are conneยญcted to the main ciยญrcuitry, all digital outputs use the ground loop inteยญrference teยญchnology which means tiยญme is acceptable. Thereยญfore, (ground loop) interference is made in a circยญuit only and canยญnot get rid of the digital stream. Cauยญsing it (the digital streaยญm) to be pure and distortionยญless.
Thanks to the paramount intent toward design, you will encouยญnteยญr no various soยญurยญces of noIse when passing your music through another device. Such as the use of a SAP for processing to realize better playback and sound quality.
