The prestigious Audiolab firm, one of the classic icons of the famous “British sound”just launched two electronic refined ones aimed at satisfying the desire for sound perfection of those who seek Musicity with capital letters But keeping adjusted the available budget: the Digital Audio (DAC) processors With built -in headphones amplifier D9 and D7. With an external aspect that combines aesthetic beauty and very compact dimensions, the two products benefit from technological advances present in the latest generation components of the veteran British company, the result being a result a quality/price ratio which allows them to establish the reference standard within their respective categories. Thus, the upper model, the D9, part of the legacy established at the time by the revolutionaries M-DAC and M-DAC+ of the Audiolab itself to represent a new era in Digital conversion to audiophile grade analog.
Inside we first find a “Premium D/Conversion Chip” of 8 channels and arithmetic of 32 bits Sabre Es9038pro of the American EsS Technology. This is widely recognized for its exceptional records in relation to signal/noise, distortion and dynamic range thanks to the combination of its exclusive architecture Hyperstream II and its effective technology “Time Domain Jitter Eliminator” With a Synchronism system extremely precise. In line with a state -of -the -art DAC, the D9 has been developed to support audio formats with Highest resolution From the moment, specifically PCM up to 32 bits/768 kHz, DSD to DSD512 and MQA without restrictions. In parallel, the expert implementation of the aforementioned “chip” conducted by Audiolab engineers puts a total of a total of the user 5 reconstruction filtersfacilitating the refining of his listening experience depending on the configuration of his team and his musical tastes. In addition, this functionality makes possible Rest All types of audio signals up to 352’8 kHz or 384 kHz, significantly improving the definition of old content. In the analog field, the D9 impacts the opulence of its Power supplya Output section executed with audiophile degree components and a headphones amplifier Of great power, with current feedback topology designed to excite all kinds of helmets.
The Audiolab is completed with a generous analog connectivity (Balanced outputs included) and digital (With coaxial, optical, USB and AES/EBU shots, as well as Bluetooth 5.1 APTX HD and LDAC), a large display screen (IPS) and an elegant aluminum enclosure. For its part, the extremely affordable D7 is conceptually very similar to its older brother, although the introduction of simplifications studied makes it possible to propose it at a substantially lower price. Thus, the D/A converter is the 2 model Sabre channels Es9038q2m of EsS Technology, while in digital connectivity omitted the shot AES/EBU Digital and both the dimensions of the enclosure and those of the display screen (OLED) have been reduced. Even so, digital compatibility and personalization possibilities are the same as those of D9, which means that D7 offers unique benefits for your price that make him a true audiophile bargain.
