Audiolab 6000CDT MKII CD Transport

$1,099.99

Founded in the UK in the early 80s, Audiolab has earned world-wide acclaim for its combination of functional elegance and superior audio quality. With countless awards, as well as being the reference amplifier for Britain’s What Hi-fi? review team, Audiolab has established itself as one of Britain's leading audio electronics manufacturers. 

CD Transports don’t include DACs (Digital to Analogue Converter), requiring either an amplifier with inbuilt DAC or a seperate DAC component within your system. Because DAC quality varies significantly, Transports are a versatile choice allowing you to customise, upgrade and evolve your sound quality over time.

DEVESTATINGLY GOOD

Streaming didn’t kill the compact disc. But it has made listeners forget how devastatingly good it hits. Audiolab’s been on an eight year revenge path (starting with 6000CDT) to fine-tune its CD extraction methods in pursuit of the ultimate streaming killshot. And for diehard fans of the compact disc, MKII is the all-new weapon of choice.

Audiolab 6000CDT MKII

Audiolab 6000CDT MKII is a dedicated CD transport engineered around an all-new mechanism, revised digital servo architecture, and an updated linear power transformer. Featuring coaxial and optical S/PDIF outputs, 6000CDT MKII is the natural partner for 6000A MKII.

SKY'S THE LIMIT

Scale new dynamic heights thanks to 6000CDT MKII. By eliminating the internal DAC and dedicating every square inch of chassis space to bit-perfect disc extraction, there are zero limits to the sound quality you can achieve. Improving your DAC improves every performance.

BEAT THE CLOCK

Digital timing errors quickly smear spatial imaging. That’s why 6000CDT MKII buffers recovered data into an electronic read-ahead memory before clocking it to the digital outputs, feeding your external DAC an ultra-stable S/PDIF stream with pinpoint instrument placement.

MOUNT UP

With an optical assembly that reads every microscopic pit with whisper-quiet operation, MKII gives you complete playback composure. By introducing an entirely new, rugged slot-loading mechanism, with high-mass construction and isolated internal mounting, MKII suppresses even the subtlest mechanical vibrations.

MASTER OF PUPPETS

6000CDT MKII hands you ruthless control with rapid track hunting, 99-track programmability, and comprehensive repeat modes mapped across an ultra-crisp display. Shape your playback sessions on your terms—pure physical command right at your fingertips.

PLAYS OFF SCRATCH

Scratched, warped, or well-loved discs shouldn't disrupt your listening session with jitter or skipping. 6000CDT MKII deploys a revised, high-speed digital servo that continuously adjusts tracking and spindle speed, smoothing over real-world surface flaws before they ever reach your ears.

LEAVE EM IN THE DUST

Don’t leave your custom burns and high-res archives collecting dust. Supporting CD, CD-R, CD-RW, and Data CDs up to 24-bit/96kHz, 6000CDT MKII extracts every raw bit from your personal disc library with ruthless precision and zero digital apologies.

OUT OF THE BLACK

Stop settling for smeared, lifeless digital playback. 6000CDT MKII walls off motor noise from its master clock, driving every circuit with a redesigned linear transformer to blast subtle decays out of an ink-black void with spinetingling resolution.

PARTNERS IN CRIME

6000CDT MKII pairs with 6000A MKII via identical anodised casework (silver & back) and 12V trigger links, powering up in unison as a cohesive, 2-channel stereo system dedicated exclusively to the physical ritual of music.
