Extremely robust and reliable, it uses a read-ahead digital buffer to reduce disc-reading failures, which contributes to its ability to play scratched and damaged CDs that are unreadable by conventional drive\/transport mechanisms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe 6000CDT is the obvious partner for a high quality DAC if you're looking for no-compromise performance and a brand new level of excitement from your compact discs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAward-Winning Performance\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\"If you are seeking to move to a dedicated CD transport you should definitely audition the 6000CDT for its smooth operation, sleek looks, and constantly robust playback,\" notes Alan McIntosh at \u003cem\u003ehifipig.com\u003c\/em\u003e, which honored the 6000CDT with a Outstanding Product Award. \"Designed well, solid unit, high-quality materials and strong aesthetics.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIan White at \u003cem\u003eecoustics.com\u003c\/em\u003e listed the 6000CDT as one of the Best CD Players in the 2021 Holiday Buying Guide. \"Load a CD and prepare to be stunned by how much better this unit sounds compared to even some of the best digital streamers connected to the same DAC.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\"A CD Transport Bargain\"\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\"I enjoyed listening to the 6000A Play\/6000CDT combo,\" notes \u003cem\u003eHi-Fi Trends\u003c\/em\u003e, September 1, 2020. \"If you play discs, the 6000CDT is a perfect companion with its high-end disc mechanism and warm, natural sound. For many people, this combo, along with some of the speakers I’ve mentioned, could easily be their endgame system.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\"If you’re one of the rare audiophiles still in the market for a CD transport and looking for the perfect aesthetic match for your existing or future Audiolab purchases – or if you just want a well-made, attractive-looking CD transport to mate with pretty much any DAC – don’t hesitate to buy a 6000CDT. At the price, it’s a very good value,\" observes Diego Estan, \u003cem\u003eSoundStage!

Everything from its look and feel to the way it plays compact discs is worthy of respect,\" reports \u003cem\u003eHi-Fi Choice\u003c\/em\u003e, June 21, 2019.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSlot-Loading CD Mechanism\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAudiolab's extensive research and development found that previous tray-style mechanisms sometimes produced a rare weak spot. The 6000CDT sports a mechanism that includes slot loading – much quicker and neater than the old tray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe new mechanism also reduces the occurrence of disc rejection and is able to play CDs that other CD players may reject for being imperfect from dirt or damage. A final benefit is increased disc stability and reduced susceptibility to resonance, which additionally contributes to the overall improved sound quality. The 6000CDT's digital clock is controlled by a high stable crystal oscillator to ensure the optical and coaxial outputs have minimal jitter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe simple, well-designed front panel controls complement the sleek aesthetics and make it not only easy but exceptionally convenient to operate this superb disc transport. As an alternative, a well-made wireless remote is also included, as is a detachable IEC AC power cord.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Audiolab","offers":[{"title":"New \/ Black \/ New","offer_id":45983355076781,"sku":"NEW-AB6000CDT-BLK","price":799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"New \/ Black \/ Demo","offer_id":45983355109549,"sku":"DEMO-AB6000CDT-BLK","price":598.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"New \/ Black \/ Open Box","offer_id":45983355142317,"sku":"OPEN-AB6000CDT-BLK","price":799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"New \/ Black \/ Cosmetically Blemished","offer_id":45983355175085,"sku":"BLEM-AB6000CDT-BLK","price":799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/3708\/1773\/files\/AB6000CDT_BLK_01-Large__85002.1728050648.1280.1280_221b0fdc-7d54-48bd-85a3-aa317825bebd.jpg?v=1778130447","url":"https:\/\/www.audioadvisor.com\/products\/audiolab-6000cdt-cd-transport-black","provider":"Audio Advisor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
