Whilst good amplifier design fundamentals have not moved much in the last ten years – the same topological principles apply today as they did then – the same does not apply to digital system sources such as CD players.

The 8000CD is a completely new design. Using a bespoke designed transport, optimised for accurate transfer of data to the very latest Crystal DACs, it is a worthy partner to the amplifiers and stands alone as one of the best CD players at anything close to its price.

The topology is dedicated to high-quality audio reproduction, with twin power supplies being employed to separate the digital and analogue stages of the player – aimed at giving the performance of a two box player from an integrated machine.

Backwards compatibility with older audiolab systems is preserved through the new remote control (supplied), whilst the new silver livery, VFD display and cutting-edge performance ensures the 8000CD is far more than a trifling update.
