AUDIOLAB 7000A > Review in Stereonet

The 7000A still has virtually everything one expects from a modern integrated amplifier – a built-in Sabre ES9038 DAC, USB B input, Bluetooth aptX/aptX LL, full MQA decoder, Roon capability, dedicated headphone amp, and an MM phono stage and HDMI ARC input.

THE VERDICT
Although perhaps not the most viscerally exciting performer, the new 7000A is always believably authentic and truthful. It is wholly natural, comfortable to listen to, and therefore easy to forget – you just hear the music. Yet it's also capable of snappy attack and crisp dynamics too. This company has always made quality amplifiers that do everything that needs to be done without getting into trouble. That neatly sums up this new design, which is unobtrusively competent and always in control. It offers great value for money, giving those on a restricted budget a large taste of Audiolab's flagship model for much less money.
