Its discrete output stage delivers 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 160 watts per channel into 4 ohms, while a custom 320VA toroidal transformer and 60,000µF of total reservoir capacitance provide the current reserve and dynamic stability needed to control demanding loudspeakers. The 9000A also functions as a complete source hub, with an ESS Sabre ES9038PRO DAC, USB-B computer input, dual coaxial and dual optical digital inputs, Bluetooth 5.1, three RCA line inputs, a balanced XLR input, dedicated MM phono stage and power-amplifier input. A 4.3-inch full-color IPS display, dedicated current-feedback headphone amplifier and selectable Integrated, Pre-Power and Pre modes make it equally suited to streamlined stereo systems and more elaborate separates-based installations. Highlights & Benefits 100W Per Channel Class AB Amplification — Delivers 2 × 100 watts into 8 ohms and 2 × 160 watts into 4 ohms, with up to 15 amps of output current for strong loudspeaker control. ESS ES9038PRO Flagship DAC — Audiolab's high-performance Sabre implementation supports detailed, low-distortion digital playback from optical, coaxial and USB sources. PCM 768kHz & DSD512 via USB — The USB-B computer input supports exceptionally high-resolution PCM and native DSD playback. Balanced, Analog, Digital & Wireless Connectivity — XLR, RCA, phono, USB, coaxial, optical and Bluetooth inputs allow the 9000A to serve as the central component in a wide variety of Hi-Fi systems. Built-In MM Phono & Headphone Amplifiers — Dedicated circuits support moving-magnet turntables and headphones without requiring separate external components. Technology & Design Complementary Feedback Class AB Topology — Audiolab's CFB architecture is designed for excellent linearity and thermal stability, keeping idle current largely independent of output-transistor temperature. 320VA Toroidal Power Supply — A custom-specified toroidal transformer feeds four 15,000µF reservoir capacitors for 60,000µF of total stored energy, helping the amplifier maintain control through dynamic musical peaks. ESS Sabre32 ES9038PRO Conversion — The flagship ESS DAC uses HyperStream II architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator technology, with Audiolab-developed surrounding circuitry optimized for low noise and high dynamic range. 4.3-Inch Full-Color IPS Display — The 800 × 480-pixel screen displays source information, playback data, menus and selectable VU meters while also offering a display-off mode for more discreet listening. FAQ — Audiolab 9000A How much power does the Audiolab 9000A produce? Audiolab rates the 9000A at 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 160 watts per channel into 4 ohms, with a maximum output-current capability of 15 amps. Does the Audiolab 9000A have a built-in DAC? Yes. The 9000A uses the ESS Sabre ES9038PRO DAC. Coaxial and optical inputs support PCM up to 192kHz, while the USB-B computer input supports PCM up to 768kHz and DSD up to DSD512. Does the 9000A have a phono input? Yes. The amplifier includes a dedicated low-noise moving-magnet phono stage with 47k-ohm / 100pF loading. Moving-coil cartridges require a compatible external MC phono stage or step-up device. Can the 9000A be used as a separate preamp or power amplifier? Yes. Audiolab provides Integrated, Pre-Power and Pre operating modes. This allows the 9000A to function conventionally as an integrated amplifier, operate as a preamplifier, or separate its preamp and power-amplifier sections for external processing and system expansion.
