Products Specifications
  • GENUINE POWER RATING The 7000A’s discrete Class AB power amp stage delivers 70W per channel into eight ohms, with a maximum current delivery of 9A amps into difficult loads
  • VERSATILE CONNECTIVITY Analogue, digital, wireless, or TV. Dual analogue inputs for CD players and line-level sources, dual Coax and SPDIF inputs for digital sources, and a Bluetooth aptX receiver for wireless audio playback
  • FLAGSHIP DAC The 7000A integrates an ESS ES9038Q2M chip with 32-bit HyperStream architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator, ensuring ultra-low noise and high dynamic range for discerning digital audio enthusiasts
  • STREAMING TECHNOLOGY What’s more, the 7000A also delivers full decoding of MQA, the hi-res streaming technology from a custom-engineered MQA-certi?ed DAC solution. This means that the complete ‘three unfold’ decoding process is performed internally

      Although perhaps not the most viscerally exciting performer, the new 7000A is always believably authentic and truthful. It is wholly natural, comfortable to listen to, and therefore easy to forget – you just hear the music. Yet it's also capable of snappy attack and crisp dynamics too. This company has always made quality amplifiers that do everything that needs to be done without getting into trouble. That neatly sums up this new design, which is unobtrusively competent and always in control. It offers great value for money, giving those on a restricted budget a large taste of Audiolab's flagship model for much less money
