Enjoy enhanced stereo sound with your favorite pair of speakers and the black Audiolab 6000A Stereo 100W Integrated Amplifier. It outputs up to 50W per channel at 8 ohms and features Bluetooth connectivity in addition to its two digital coaxial, two optical, and five stereo RCA inputs. One RCA input is a dedicated phono input and is accompanied by a ground screw terminal. An 1/8" headphone jack with discrete amplification enables private listening. The 6000A includes a remote control as an added convenience.

The onboard DAC lets the 6000A play digital sources without the need for an external DAC or other additional component. The 6000A uses the ES9018 SABRE32 Reference chip family for its D/A conversion, utilizing ESS Technology's 32-bit HyperStream architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator to deliver low noise and high dynamic range. The amplifier has four digital inputs, three line-level analog inputs, a dedicated turntable input, Bluetooth wireless connectivity, and a dedicated headphone amplifier in addition to the speaker amplifiers.

The discrete Class-AB power amp stage in the 6000A delivers 50W per channel into 8 ohms with a maximum current delivery of 9A into difficult loads. Its output stage uses a CFB (Complementary Feedback) topology to help ensure enhanced linearity and thermal stability, as the idle current is kept independent of the temperature of the output transistors. A 200VA toroidal transformer, followed by four 15,000 μF reservoir capacity, helps the amp maintain control of the music while enabling a wide dynamic range.

The preamp section is kept simple to help maintain signal purity, with line input signals passing to the analog volume stage, which covers the range from -80 dB to 8 dB in steps of 2 dB and 1 dB; step resolution increases with volume position. The physical layout of the 6000A's circuitry is engineered to protect the preamp section from noise interference.

Q: 1. does this unit plat SACD Discs?

A: The Audiolab Omnia Stereo 100W Network Amplifier and CD Player does not play Super Audio CD (SACD).

Q: 2. I am looking at the Yamaha amplifier AS 30l to upgrade my old system. I have Bang & O Danish speakers with free wires at the end of each cable. I see no place for free wires on this amplifier or the Yamaha AS500. It looks like I need the RCA Male Stereo Audio cable end pieces. If this is correct, would you let me know please. All of this is for a 32 inch Smart TV which is the largest size which will fit the space. The picture is great, but the sound options are driving my audiophile ears crazy. I do see a way to get the TV audio into the amplifier and that is by the digital audio output (optical), but no such place appears on the Yamaha AS500. There is a single audio output hole on the back of the TV, but that is beyond my ancient experience. I dont see an audio input on the amplifier of one hole. Am I wrong?My laptop enlarged image of the back of the amplifier leaves a lot to be desired. You will be happy to know that there is no problem with my Sony CD/DVD player which was purchased from you. I will also use my B & O turntable and be able to play my vinyl records again. As I said, we are talking older or ancient!

A: This receiver offers binding posts that will accept bare wire speaker leads.

Q: 3. Shall we equalize the sounds with low, medium and high frequencies?
