This refined preamplifier embodies a symphony of innovation and craftsmanship, featuring functional enhancements that elevate your listening journey. With its tone controls and fully balanced signal paths, the 9000Q empowers you to explore your music with unparalleled versatility and precision. Embrace the power of sound and let the 9000Q ignite your passion for music, transforming every note into a powerful emotional experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign and Build\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a new dedicated Preamplifier solution, the 9000Q is far more than a trimmed down version of the 9000A integrated amplifier. It’s a beast of a Pre! Designed by Jan Ertner, the lead designer in the 9000 series components (as well as many other Audiolab components over the years), the 9000Q is a design enhanced dedicated preamplifier that can be described as greatness improved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStarting with the much complemented DAC section, the Audiolab 9000Q has an improved implementation of the ES9038PRO DAC chip. Building on the years of experience, and class-leading adoption of ESS DAC chipsets, the 9000Q employs the eight-channel 9038PRO DAC chip, the highest standard in the current Sabre range. This is accompanied by proprietary circuitry to make the most of the chip’s HyperStream II architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator technology for unprecedented dynamic range and ultra-low distortion, making it the perfect preamplifier interface for high-resolution digital audio files (and audiophiles!).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTone Controls and Inputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 9000Q also uses a new, custom-specified transformer. Engineered as an improvement over the 9000A due to a preamplifier requiring delivering current when demanded, and with all the Audiolab know-how, it enables a controlled performance with all the crisp detail and Audiolab sound signature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA step forward over the already impressive 9000A ‘Pre’ performance, the Audiolab 9000Q incorporates new tone controls for treble and bass adjustment, accessible via the menu, and with a range of +\/-6dB in 2dB steps. This allows delicate fine-tuning to suit room performance, speaker or power amplifier capabilities or even just personal preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneral Description: Preamplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign Philosophy and Core Technology: ES9038Pro 32-bit DAC, 4.3” 800 x 480 IPS LCD, Bluetooth 5.1 (aptX\/aptX HD\/LDAC) streaming, Dedicated Current-Feedback Headphone Amp, Dedicated High Performance Low Noise MM Phono stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInputs: 3 x Analogue, 1 x XLR, 1 x Phono (MM), 2 x SPDIF (Coax), 2 x SPDIF (Optical), 1 x PC USB (USB B), 1 x Bluetooth (aptX\/aptX HD\/LDAC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutputs: 2 x RCA, 1 x XLR, 1 x Headphone, 2 x 12V Trigger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSampling Frequency: Optical\/Coaxial: 44.1-192kHz; PC USB: 44.1kHz-768kHz (PCM) \/ DSD64, DSD128, DSD256, DSD512\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreamp \/ DAC\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eD to A Converter: ES9038Pro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput Sensitivity: 1Vrms (Line, Volume = 0dB); 2Vrms (XLR, Volume = 0dB); 4.5mV (Phono MM, Volume = 0dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Harmonic Distortion (THD): \u0026lt; 0.001% (1KHz @ 0dBFS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Response: 20Hz - 20kHz (+\/-0.1dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Impedance: 120 ohm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax.
