Audiolab 9000A Integrated Amplifier with Built in DAC, USB and Bluetooth Stream (Aluminium Black)

Audiolab 9000A Integrated Amplifier

As ever, the Audiolab 9000A Integrated Amplifier is the center of the Audiolab focus in being the beating heart of any high-performance audio system. It’s more powerful, capable, and feature-packed than any of the preceding models – the most advanced Audiolab integrated amplifier yet.

Versatility is key to Audiolab’s integrated amplifier appeal, and the Audiolab 9000A Integrated Amplifier offers to cater to audiophiles of all creeds.

Loaded with digital and analog source connection, wireless connectivity for portable devices, an all-new phono stage to cater for vinyl playback, and the usual, class-leading amplification for loudspeakers and headphones.

The 9000A is the brainchild of lead engineer, Jan Ertner. Famed for a plethora of class-leading and award-winning audio electronic models, Jan has pushed the Audiolab 9000A Integrated Amplifier to the highest levels of performance by evolving and redeveloping the principles that created the 8300A and uber-successful 6000A, to deliver the most exceptional performance ever seen in an Audiolab integrated amplifier.

Flexible and capable

Differentiating itself from rivals within its category, the Audiolab 9000A Integrated Amplifier blends digital capability with an analog pedigree. Premium level D/A conversion, as one would always expect from Audiolab, allows a range of digital sources (over four digital inputs) to be connected directly to this high-power integrated unit.

Yet, based on over 40 years of amplifier design pedigree, not to mention a recent history of multi-award-winning audio solutions, the Audiolab 9000A Integrated Amplifier also caters for analog device integrations (via three AUX, balanced XLR, and a dedicated phono input).

The world of modern audio enjoyment is not limited to wired playback devices though, hence the Audiolab 9000A Integrated Amplifier also supports wireless connectivity via Bluetooth and digital audio via a PC USB connection.

Flagship DAC

The 9000A features the latest ESS 9038PRO flagship 32-bit DAC chip. Using the critically acclaimed patented HyperStream II architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator, the ES9038PRO delivers an unprecedented performance level that will satisfy the needs of the most demanding audio applications – fitting an amplifier of the 9000A’s caliber.

Years of experience and countless ESS-equipped models mean that Audiolab is more than familiar with making the most of this technically excellent but challenging DAC technology.

Great attention has been paid to developing a system that allows Audiolab electronics and ESS DAC technology to offer the best audiophile performance.

The amp’s four S/PDIF digital inputs – two coaxial and two optical – handle hi-res PCM data up to 24-bit/192kHz and benefit from a host of user-selectable digital filters that allow the user to optimize the response to suit the source file and bandwidth of the partnering equipment.

PCM audio is supported to 32-bit/768kHz, alongside DSD to 22.5MHz (DSD512). Every significant hi-res and lossless audio format is catered for, including FLAC, ALAC, AIFF, and WAV, as well as compressed legacy formats.
