Specialist Electronics maker Audiolab has undergone quite a few changes in its relatively short history. Not least of which was a period of ownership by TAG McLaren. Nowadays Audiolab is one of a number of former British brands owned by the IAG Group, based in China. It’s aim these days is to create “well-engineered components that offer high performance sound quality and offer exceptional value” and the 8200CDQ CD Player/DAC/Pre Amplifier is a perfect example of this. A nice example in the black finish, it comes suitably packaged with our usual warranty.

Audiolab Says

In addition to the 8200CD, the 8200CDQ adds full preamp functionality whilst maintaining the same chassis size as the 8200CD. The existing digital inputs are joined by three line-level analogue inputs, providing source selection and volume control in the analogue domain. The preamplifier section is fully balanced and all analogue input signals are converted to balanced form, helping to reduce distortion and noise.

Features

  • Inputs: USB, 2x coaxial S/PDIF, 2x optical, 3x analogue
  • Selectable analogue or digital preamplifier mode
  • Discrete Class A headphone amplifier
  • 34 regulated power supply rails
  • 14 ultra-low-noise discrete regulators
  • Seven digital filter settings
