It set the path for Audiolab’s DAC integration in a plethora of award-winning, benchmark-setting hi-fi components – with current evolution sitting at the flagship and revered 9000 series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a pioneer in affordable hi-fi electronics, dating back to the brand's origins, the Audiolab 6000 and more recent 7000 series offer world-renowned performance at astonishing price points. Following this philosophy, with more than a hint of ‘trickle down’ technology, benefitting from thousands of hours of development of class-leading components, the Audiolab D7 is a new tabletop DAC that oozes the simplicity and clarity that Audiolab is famed for, taking to task the industry’s more affordable DAC offerings, the D7 distills high-end engineering into a compact and affordable package.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eState-Of-The-Art Chipset\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaking heavy influence from the Audiolab 7000A, the D7 incorporates state-of-the-art digital-to-analogue signal conversion in the form of the ESS9038Q2M chipset. This enables digital sources to be introduced to analogue systems—a CD transport or wireless streamer, for instance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnectivity in Abundance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe D7 has four S\/PDIF inputs—two coaxial and two optical— a USB HDD input for playback from external flash drives, and a USB type-B input for PCs, Macs, smartphones, or tablets. It also offers the option of coaxial, optical, or analogue RCA and fully balanced XLR outputs, making it a highly versatile digital audio hub. Bluetooth reception is included, too, with support for multiple codecs, including aptX HD, and Bluetooth 5.1 compliance for optimum range and speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Resolution Audio\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe new-generation 32-bit Sabre chip – the ES9038Q2M – is a benchmark in DAC standards. However, accompanied by proprietary circuitry to make the most of the ESS HyperStream II architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator for ultra-low noise and high dynamic range, Audiolab engineers have the proven knowhow in implementation of this chip to make class-leading Digital Audio Conversion devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbove and Beyond\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsers can opt to upsample digital audio signals to 352.8kHz or 384kHz. With the expertly implemented DAC reconstruction filter settings, the D7 offers five options to adjust performance to match source files or system components. This nuance will be much welcomed, given the sheer variety of digital file formats supported, not to mention headphone users or digital streaming service users.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHead-Fi from Hi-Fi\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe D7 features a high-power headphone amplifier with current-feedback circuitry to round out the versatility.
