Having forayed into entry-level streaming with the wildly successful, multi-award-winning 6000N Play and, more recently, the 7000N Play, the more high-end 9000N has been eagerly anticipated!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 9000N answers the 9000 series and its natural progression towards a more premium hi- solution while answering overwhelming customer demand for a solidly built and impeccably nished streaming component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFlexible and capable\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe format of the 9000N reects the crisp elegance of the 9000A and matching CDT. Equipped with rotary controls and an absence of buttons (except for the power switch), the 9000N also implements the 4.3in colour screen, as found in the rest of the series  the perfect window for presentation for your digital music les including full-colour album artwork!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe screen displays a variety of information in a more visually appealing way than most other streaming devices, many of which have traditionally relied upon the accompanying app for operational feedback and user control and interface. The 9000Ns display oers full menu controls, an array of options, and user settings, including multi-language selection and general display options.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost impressively, the 9000N display presents details of format data, playback information and, as mentioned above, full-colour album artwork display. Album artwork is visible in the default playback screen but can also be expanded for an artwork-emphasised playback screen. The display can even be set to display a VU meter in analogue or digital form, showing real-time decibel levels for the left and right channels  a satisfying graphical representation of the music as it plays. For a more minimalistic option, the display can be dimmed or turned o completely, as the user prefers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStream like a dream\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProudly developed to combine an incredibly capable and equally stable streaming platform with audiolabs digital know-how, world-beating DAC implementation and signal ow, and the intuitive 9000 series general user interface, for the ultimate streaming solution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe audiolab 9000N app oers immediate access to Qobuz and Tidal, with full access to hi-res and MQA content, as well as Spotify, TuneIn internet radio and UPnP music server systems and digital audio les stored on USB HDD devices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe app oers intelligent search functionality and full access to, control of and even the creation of user-dened playlists, folders and album grouping functions. File information, track detail and app-in-app search, select, and compilation functions are easily accessible. Qobuz and Tidal users will be pleased to know that, unlike some other apps and platforms, the hi-res and Master Quality Authenticated (MQA) tracks can be easily identied with icons within the app itself, with no need to hop between the service and device apps to nd such content.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike comparable technology from other manufacturers, the 9000N oers wireless playback over a Wi-Fi connection, not solely dependent on the albeit sometimes preferable wired \/ethernet connection. This, along with the full album artwork and ESS9038Pro DAC chipset integration, represents several advanced features for the 9000N to boast.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet, it is also not limited to the audiolab 9000N app; the 9000N also oers playback via Airplay II as well as Tidal Connect and Spotify Connect for those who prefer the proprietary streaming service app.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd to add to the impressive list of digital audio platform compatibility, the 9000N is Roon Ready. Roon Ready devices are network players with Roons own streaming technology built right in, connected over your ethernet or WiFi network. These devices make bit-perfect high-resolution audio simple because they require no conguration, they give you access to the best audio quality and they provide stable, reliable playback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDigital circuitry\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe hardware is based upon a Quad Arm® Cortex®-A53 core MCU with 1.8 GHz per Core. This powerful brain behind the system ensures seamless, rock-steady operation and additional benets such as album artwork caching; for faster loading of the accompanying artwork les, thus enhancing the user experience and visual aesthetic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEver since the much-admired M-DAC launched more than a decade ago, Audiolab has been famed for the performance of its DAC circuitry. The 9000N incorporates the ES9038PRO  an eight-channel DAC chip representing the pinnacle of ESS Technologys current Sabre range. This is accompanied by proprietary circuitry to make the most of the chips HyperStream II architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator technology for unprecedented dynamic range and ultra-low distortion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo company knows more about making the most of Sabre DAC technology than Audiolab, having worked with it for years through several product generations. Although consistently technically excellent, these DAC chips are also challenging to implement to maximum eect and must be integrated into a products circuit design with care to extract their full sonic potential. The post-DAC active lter is a critical element, and Audiolab has developed a new circuit that is perfectly tailored to make the most of the ES9038PRO.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 9000N also delivers full decoding of , the hi-res streaming technology. This means that the complete three unfold decoding process is performed internally, as opposed to just the nal unfold in the manner of an MQA renderer, making the 9000A an excellent amplier for subscribers to Tidals HiFi Plus tier where Tidal Masters (MQA) content can be found. It is ocially Roon Tested, too, ensuring it works seamlessly in a Roon audio environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVersatile connectivity\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs any audiolab fan would expect, the 9000N incorporates state-of-the-art digital-to-analogue signal conversion. The 9000N oers connectivity via analogue XLR or RCA outputs. As a standalone MQA full decoder, it can be used with any amplier or secondary pre-amp system that oers analogue connections. Further magic is employed through the digital output and option MQA Pass through functionality. For users who may employ an equally powerful DAC (9000A owners, for instance), the 9000N can stream and throughput an untouched MQA signal (from Tidal or Qobuz, for example) which that secondary DAC can then decode. This oers further functionality and versatility, not to mention a totally unadulterated signal ow  a benet for the purists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHigh-end audio that shoots for the stars but doesnt cost the Earth\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 9000 series enters the streaming realms with a view of bringing the epitome of aordable high-end audio  build quality to be proud of, versatile functionality without a hint of compromise, and a performance that delivers every detail of the music and brings it to life in captivating style. It provides remarkable sonic consistency across all manner of digital and analogue sources, always musically engaging yet also rened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDesign Philosophy And Core Technology\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eESS Sabre ES9038Pro 32bit DAC\u003cbr\u003eQuad Arm® Cortex®-A53 core,1.8GHz per Core\u003cbr\u003eAudiolab 9000N Streaming technology (IEEE 802.11 a \/ b \/ g \/ n \/ ac,2.4\/5GHz)\u003cbr\u003eUPnP AV protocol with audio streaming extension (Open Home)\u003cbr\u003eBuilt-in Certified MQA Full decoder (via streaming \u0026amp; PC USB)\u003cbr\u003eNative support for Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, MQA, Qobuz and TuneIn Radio\u003cbr\u003eRoon Ready\u003cbr\u003eGapless Playback\u003cbr\u003eHigh-resolution album artwork display\u003cbr\u003eUSB storage \/ flash drive \/ USB hard disk (Single-partition FAT32, exFAT and NTFS) playback\u003cbr\u003e4.3\" (800 x 480px) IPS LCD screen\u003cbr\u003eiOS (11.0 or later) \/ Android (Android 4.0 or later) required for App control\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAudiolab 9000N App Features\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e- Native support for TIDAL, MQA, Qobuz and TuneIn Radio\u003cbr\u003e- Tidal MQA icons to easily identify high-res music\u003cbr\u003e- Qobuz high-res icons to identify high-res music\u003cbr\u003e- Volume control\u003cbr\u003e- High-resolution album artwork display\u003cbr\u003e- Artwork caching\u003cbr\u003e- Intelligent search functionality\u003cbr\u003e- Multiple Playlist complications \u0026amp; functionality\u003cbr\u003e- Multiple tag handling\u003cbr\u003e- Composer tag support\u003cbr\u003e- Album-grouping in playlist\u003cbr\u003e- Automatic internet links to artists \/ album \/ songs\u003cbr\u003e- Saving and restoring of playlists (including Tidal and Qobuz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 x Network Streaming\u003cbr\u003e1 x PC USB (USB Type-B)\u003cbr\u003e1 x Ethernet 10\/100 \/ 1000 Base-T Ethernet\u003cbr\u003e1 x 12V Trigger\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 x RCA (pair)\u003cbr\u003e1 x XLR (pair)\u003cbr\u003e1 x Optical\u003cbr\u003e1 x Coaxial\u003cbr\u003e1 x 12V Trigger (Link)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSupported File Formats\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDSD Lossless: DSF (DSD), DIFF (DSD), DoP (DSD)\u003cbr\u003ePCM Lossless: FLAC, Apple Lossless (ALAC), WAV, AIFF\u003cbr\u003eCompressed (lossy) Audio: MP3 MQA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSampling Frequency\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePCM: 44.1kHz-768kHz (705.6kHz \/ 768kHz Fixed-point supported via Audiolab 9000N App streaming)\u003cbr\u003eDSD: DSD64, DSD128, DSD256, DSD512 (Native)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eDigital Section\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDigital Output Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e500mV +\/- 50mVpp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutput Impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e75\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency Response\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-0.01dB (20Hz - 20kHz, ref.1kHz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax.
