Audiolab's new generation

摘要

Featuring the same '32-bit' ESS DAC technology used some very high-end players (including models from Simaudio and Chapter Audio reviewed in HFN), Audiolab's new entries seem remarkably well-priced at ￡700 and ￡900. These are the 8200CD and 8200CDQ,rnrespectively, both models including a range of S/PDIF and USB digital inputs to supplement the playback of CDs. Both also offer a choice of four digital filter options, trading roll-off against transient performance.
