The 7000N is a network streamer with built-in DAC from Audiolab, built with exceptional measured performance. The 7000N brings Audiolab's considered engineering to a complete streaming digital source format.

Key specs that matter

A built-in DAC handles conversion, with PCM support up to 192kHz/24-bit. Frequency response spans 20Hz to 20,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Output impedance is 100 ohms single-ended. Signal-to-noise ratio exceeds an exceptional 115dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise under an exceptionally low 0.0005% at 22kHz - outstanding figures reflecting Audiolab's measurement-focused engineering philosophy. At 444 x 340 x 78mm and 5kg, the 7000N maintains a manageable streaming chassis.

Sound and use context

Expect exceptionally clean, detailed conversion reflecting the near-immeasurable 0.0005% distortion figure combined with the exceptional 115dB signal-to-noise figure, representing outstanding measured performance for the category.

Pairing

As a network streamer with built-in DAC, the 7000N connects directly to a preamplifier or integrated amplifier's line-level input without needing an additional outboard converter.

Alternatives

Audiolab's broader digital source and amplifier catalogue offers alternatives for buyers wanting a different balance of features.
