More compact than the 9000 series and perfectly matched to the 6000 and 8300 series, it maintains crisp ergonomics, high-quality engineering, and an excellent all-round performance. The overall look offers an aesthetic match for other audiolab components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\"Under the hood, enhancements have been made to the power supply and output circuitry, including a higher quality toroidal transformer,\" reports \u003cem\u003ehifipig.com\u003c\/em\u003e, February 6, 2023. \"Great care has been taken over the 7000CDT’s construction and circuit layout, to combat the sonically deleterious effect of vibrations generated externally and by the mechanism’s high-spin-velocity motor, and to protect the most sensitive elements from electrical noise.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAward-Winning Performance\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe 7000CDT won a Best Buy Award from \u003cem\u003eavsforums.com\u003c\/em\u003e. \"The performance is utterly outstanding. The 7000CDT looks and feels and behaves at a level that would allow it to rub shoulders with pricier components than the 7000A and be completely at home,\" observes Ed Selley in a joint review of the Audiolab 7000CDT and 7000A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\"Audiolab’s decision making process on the specification of its devices has left it likely to wind up winning regardless of outcome. The result pound for pound is one of the most outstanding product duos on the market today and an unquestionable Best Buy.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSeamless CD Playback\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe 7000CDT uses a high-precision optical system with an electronic data buffer for accurate and seamless CD playback. Very similar in its technology to the 9000CDT, the 7000CDT uses a read-ahead digital buffer to reduce disc-reading failures, helping it plays scratched and damaged CDs that may be unreadable by conventional mechanisms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eTo ensure that a flawless signal reaches the accompanying DAC, the coaxial output of the 7000CDT is fed from a differential line driver. The master clock is controlled by a high-accuracy crystal oscillator, enabling the digital output from both coaxial and optical jacks to exhibit vanishingly low levels of jitter (i.e., digital distortion).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIsolation from Vibration\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe low-friction loading tray along with the sturdy aluminum base and chassis of the 7000CDT work to tackle vibrations that are experienced due to the mechanics of a high-spin-velocity motor. Further, the transport is mounted in its own electromagnetically shielded enclosure with a dedicated power supply. All of these contribute to the exemplary digital signal extraction, while the proven resonance reduction further improves performance and onward effect in ancillary hi-fi equipment and signal chains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDigital Files in Your Favorite Formats\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eIn addition to the class-leading CD playback design, the 7000CDT also offers digital music files compatibly via a dedicated USB 'Type A' connection, to the rear of the unit. Popular hi-res and lossless audio formats are accommodated, including WAV, AAC, and WMA, as well as compressed legacy MP3 formats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFull-Color Display\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eTaking a strong influence from audiolab's flagship 9000CDT, the 7000CDT improves over the 6000CDT with a full-color 2.8\" IPS display with a detailed but simple-to-use GUI. The display provides a vivid representation of information, including system settings, format, folder, track details, and other data.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Audiolab","offers":[{"title":"New \/ Silver \/ New","offer_id":45983019630765,"sku":"NEW-AB7000CDT-SIL","price":999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"New \/ Silver \/ Demo","offer_id":45983019663533,"sku":"DEMO-AB7000CDT-SIL","price":999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"New \/ Silver \/ Open Box","offer_id":45983019696301,"sku":"OPEN-AB7000CDT-SIL","price":999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"New \/ Silver \/ Cosmetically Blemished","offer_id":45983019729069,"sku":"BLEM-AB7000CDT-SIL","price":999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"New \/ Silver \/ Factory Refreshed","offer_id":45983019761837,"sku":"RFRB-AB7000CDT-SIL","price":999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/3708\/1773\/files\/AB7000CDT_SIL_01-Large__51462.1728051981.1280.1280_855642c2-c6e4-4574-af5e-c0100a9faaf8.jpg?v=1778120793","url":"https:\/\/www.audioadvisor.com\/products\/audiolab-7000cdt-cd-transport-silver","provider":"Audio Advisor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
