The Audiolab 6000A MKII builds on the strengths of the original 6000A, offering key upgrades including a refined power supply, the advanced ESS Sabre ES9038Q2M DAC for improved audio performance, and HDMI ARC support for enhanced connectivity. It delivers 50 watts per channel via a Class AB amplifier, preserving Audiolab’s signature sound with greater clarity, dynamic range, and minimal noise.

  • Improved Standards
    Building on the legacy of the original 6000A, which set the benchmark for entry-level high-fidelity, the Audiolab 6000A MKII continues the evolution with meaningful upgrades and refined performance.
  • New Power Supply
    A revised power supply and upgraded transformer contribute to improved depth, clarity, dynamics, and timing—qualities that made the original 6000A so well-regarded, now taken even further.
  • True Class AB Design
    While many rivals opt for Class D amplification, the 6000A MKII stays true to its audiophile roots with a Class AB topology. Its discrete power amp circuits feature a CFB (Complementary Feedback) design, ensuring excellent linearity and superior thermal stability. Idle current remains independent of output transistor temperature, promoting consistent performance.
  • Expanded Connectivity
    Alongside standard optical, coaxial, and analog inputs, the 6000A MKII introduces HDMI ARC—ideal for integrating into modern AV setups with seamless audio from TVs and media hubs.
  • High-Quality Bluetooth Streaming
    Bluetooth connectivity now includes support for the aptX codec, delivering higher-quality audio streaming from smart devices. Users also benefit from the onboard DAC’s capabilities, with five selectable digital filters to tailor the sound.
  • Vinyl-Ready
    A built-in phono stage with precise RIAA equalization ensures excellent performance for turntable enthusiasts, offering plug-and-play convenience without sacrificing fidelity.
  • Flexible Operation Modes
    The 6000A MKII features three discrete operating modes: Integrated, Preamp, and Power Amp. This allows the amplifier to adapt to a wide range of system configurations and evolve with the user’s setup over time.
  • Upgraded DAC Performance
    Borrowing technology from Audiolab’s higher-end 7000A, the 6000A MKII is equipped with the ESS Sabre ES9038Q2M 32-bit DAC. Featuring the acclaimed HyperStream® II architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator, it delivers exceptional precision and clarity for digital sources.

Available in Aluminium Black and Aluminium Silver
