Product description

De Audiolab The 9000CDT is built for the enthusiast who wants to experience CD playback at the highest level. The CD retains its magic in the world of pure hi-fi, and the 9000CDT elevates that experience to a new level of performance. A specially developed mechanism ensures exceptional stability and precision with every playback.

At the heart of the 9000CDT is a precision optical system combined with an electronic data buffer that ensures exceptionally accurate and uninterrupted playback. This read-ahead digital buffer minimizes read errors, allowing even slightly damaged CDs to be played without any problems.

The coaxial output is driven by a differential line driver, ensuring the digital signal reaches the external DAC flawlessly and with minimal jitter. Furthermore, the drive is mounted in a low-resonance chassis that effectively suppresses vibrations from motor mechanics.

In addition to superior CD playback, the 9000CDT also supports digital music files via a dedicated USB port. All common hi-res and lossless audio formats are supported.
