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.

A DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) transforms digital audio files—like those from your phone, computer, or streamer—into the analogue signals your amp and speakers can actually play. It’s a critical link in your Hi-Fi chain, shaping everything from clarity to dynamics. Better DAC, better sound. Simple as that.

THE LEGEND CONTINUES

Audiolab DACs are legendary. Their 2011 M-DAC received five consecutive, and highly-sought-after, What HiFi Product of the Year awards before retiring unbeaten in 2016. And in 2025, D7 continues the tradition of class-leading, entry-level DAC performance by combining more than a decade’s worth of highly praised integrated DAC solutions with the magic that made M-DAC.

MACHINED TO MATCH

D7’s all-aluminium chassis delivers rugged durability wrapped in Audiolab’s unmistakable industrial elegance. Designed to match the 6000 and 7000 series, its compact footprint and tactile controls both look and feel premium, proving that great design needn’t come at a high price.

EVERY BIT COUNTS

From soft cymbal brushes to the full-body punch of kick drum flurries in a sweat-soaked breakdown, D7’s support for 32-bit/768kHz PCM, DSD512, and full MQA decoding digs deep into every track to turn ordinary playback into notes you could reach out and touch.

AN AUDIOPHILE BUFFET

Whether it’s a cinematic Netflix binge, hi-res streaming via your network player or PC, or you’re rediscovering forgotten gems from that aging CD collection, D7 connects. With USB-B and A, two optical, two coaxial, and Bluetooth 5.1 with aptX HD, D7 sets the table for a listening feast.

ENTRY-LEVEL ELEVATED

Onboard volume control allows D7 to double as a digital preamp. Ideal for existing Audiolab 6000A and 7000A integrated owners looking to capitalise on the performance of pre/power separates, D7 delivers serious audiophile returns for a fraction of the investment.

SPACE TO ESCAPE

D7’s high-power headphone amplifier allows you to be alone with your music. Borrowed from the acclaimed 7000A integrated amplifier, D7 will effortlessly drive everything from sensitive IEMs to high-impedance cans, creating a vivid musical landscape by which to escape.

WHISPERS TO WAR DRUMS

Engineered with HyperStream® II architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator, D7’s flagship ESS Sabre ES9038Q2M DAC captures the faintest whispers, the most explosive peaks, and every detail your old DAC left behind –– because that’s what unrivalled dynamic range, ultra-low noise, and high-resolution decoding delivers.

TUNED TO YOUR TASTES

D7 gives you five expertly tuned digital filter settings, each designed to complement your source files, system, or listening mood. Whether you’re craving silky vocals, tighter transients, or a touch more warmth, you can tailor the sound to suit your ears—and your music.

MENU MAESTRO

D7’s crisp OLED display and full-function remote give you intuitive control over filter settings, input selection, and playback data—including visible sample rates and track info. It’s a rare dose of premium usability in a DAC this compact, giving you clarity, convenience, and couch-friendly control.

FROM HIFI TO HYBRID

D7’s output options are first grade. While optical and coaxial digital out allow D9 to integrate with two-channel HiFi/multi-channel AV hybrid systems, wireless multi-zone systems, and recording devices, balanced XLR and RCA analogue outputs cater to reference two-channel equipment matching.
