Audiolab 6000A MkII – the Second Version of the Integrated Amplifier Received a New DAC
13.03.2025 08:02 | ~1 minute read
Audiolab has introduced a new generation of the 6000A integrated amplifier, operating in class AB and equipped with a toroidal transformer – the model is called Audiolab 6000A MkII. In addition to the new version of the built-in digital-to-analog converter, an HDMI port for connecting to a TV has appeared on board.
The heart of the power supply of the Audiolab 6000A MkII integrated amplifier is a 200 VA toroidal transformer, supported by four smoothing capacitors with a capacity of 15,000 μF. Thanks to flexible operating modes (integrated amplifier – Integrated, only preamplifier (Pre) with external power amplifier, only power amplifier with external preamplifier), Audiolab 6000A MKII can be easily integrated into any audio system. The output stages operate in class AB, providing a power of 50 W per channel when working on a 8 Ohm load and 75 W for a load of 4 Ohms.
Thanks to the HDMI ARC input, the Audiolab 6000A MKII amplifier can also be used in a home theater, and support for Bluetooth 5.1 with the aptX HD codec offers flexible wireless streaming. Four digital coaxial and four analog inputs provide convenient commutation.
Digital-to-analog conversion in the Audiolab 6000A MKII amplifier is now implemented on the ESS Sabre ES9038Q2M DAC chip with support for PCM with up to 32 bit / 768 kHz and the HyperStream II architecture. The Audiolab 6000A MkII integrated amplifier will be available in Europe in mid-March 2025, priced at just under €900.
