The 6000CDT is a CD transport from Audiolab, a well-established British manufacturer known for delivering competitive measured performance at accessible prices, built into a manageable chassis. The 6000CDT brings Audiolab's considered engineering to disc-based digital source transport duties.

Key specs that matter

Frequency response for CD spans 20Hz to 20,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Output impedance is 75 ohms single-ended. At 445 x 80 x 307mm and 5.4kg, the 6000CDT maintains a manageable footprint consistent with Audiolab's accessible engineering standards.

Sound and use context

Given Audiolab's broader reputation for delivering competitive measured performance at accessible prices, expect the 6000CDT to deliver a clean, low-jitter digital output specifically engineered to hand off to an external DAC.

Pairing

Because the 6000CDT functions as a transport, it requires pairing with a separate outboard DAC, and Audiolab's own 6000A integrated amplifier with built-in DAC offers a natural, brand-coherent pairing.

Alternatives

Audiolab's own 9000CDT offers a more accomplished current alternative within the same broader digital source catalogue.
