The 7000CDT is a compact CD transport from Audiolab, a well-established British manufacturer known for accomplished, value-focused electronics engineering, built into a remarkably slim chassis. The 7000CDT brings Audiolab's considered engineering to disc-based digital source playback.

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. Total harmonic distortion plus noise is under an exceptionally low 0.002%. At a slim 444 x 322 x 78mm and 5.5kg, the 7000CDT maintains a space-efficient CD transport chassis reflecting Audiolab's considered British engineering standards.

Sound and use context

Expect exceptionally clean CD playback reflecting the exceptionally low 0.002% distortion figure, representing accomplished value at this accessible price tier.

Pairing

Audiolab's own DAC and amplifier catalogue offers natural, brand-coherent pairings within the same broader catalogue.

Alternatives

Audiolab's own 8300CD offers a more accomplished alternative with a built-in ESS Sabre conversion chip within the same broader digital source catalogue.
