Audiolab have elevated the DAC performance with the new ESS Sabre ES9038Q2M chipset, an upgrade from the original 6000A’s ES9018.  This flagship DAC supports 32-bit/768kHz PCM and incorporates HyperStream® II architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator for ultra-low noise and exceptional dynamic range. Building on the DAC design from the 7000A, the MKII also benefits from a new Class A circuit in the post-DAC active filter stage, offering a more refined listening experience.

The 6000A MKII stays true to Audiolab's audiophile heritage with a Class AB power amplifier, delivering 50W per channel, with a peak current delivery of 11 amps into difficult loads. It's CFB, (Complementary Feedback) topology ensures superior linearity and thermal stability, keeping the idle current independent of output transistor temperatures.

‘Integrated’ – is a combination of the pre and power amp stages. ‘Pre’ - turns the unit into a dedicated preamplifier. ‘Pre Power’ mode is a unique mode that separates the pre and power stages:

‘Pre-Power Mode’ disconnects the pre and power amp stages so the 6000A MKII can be used solely as a power amp—for example, connected to an AV processor in a home cinema system. It also enables additional signal processing by connecting the 6000A’s ‘preamp out’ socket to an external processor and returning the processor’s output to the amp’s ‘power amp in’ socket.
