The 9000N is an accomplished network streamer with built-in DAC from Audiolab, sitting above the 6000N Play with comprehensive high-resolution format support. The 9000N brings Audiolab's more accomplished current engineering to a complete streaming digital source format.
Key specs that matter
A built-in DAC handles conversion, with support up to 32-bit/768kHz PCM and DSD512 - a comprehensive high-resolution format specification, considerably wider than the 6000N Play's 24-bit/192kHz limit. Frequency response spans 20Hz to 20,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Output impedance is 120 ohms on both balanced and single-ended connections. Total harmonic distortion plus noise is under an exceptionally low 0.001% at 22kHz. At 444 x 89 x 333mm and 6.2kg, the 9000N represents a more substantial commitment than the 6000N Play.
Sound and use context
Expect exceptionally clean, detailed conversion reflecting the near-immeasurable 0.001% distortion figure combined with the comprehensive PCM 768kHz and DSD512 format support, representing Audiolab's most accomplished current streaming engineering.
Pairing
Audiolab's own amplifier catalogue offers natural, brand-coherent pairings within the same broader catalogue.
Alternatives
Audiolab's own 6000N Play offers a more accessible alternative within the same broader streaming catalogue.
