Audiolab D7 Tabletop DAC – Compact, Affordable, High-End Performance
Elevate your audio experience with the Audiolab D7, a compact yet powerful tabletop DAC that redefines affordable audiophile performance. Building on Audiolab’s legacy of pioneering hi-fi electronics since 2011 with the game-changing M-DAC, the D7 distills cutting-edge technology from the acclaimed 6000, 7000, and flagship 9000 series into a sleek, rugged, and feature-packed package. Designed for simplicity, clarity, and versatility, the D7 delivers world-class sound at an astonishing price point.
Uncompromising Features in a Compact Design
The Audiolab D7 combines traditional Audiolab styling with modern functionality. Its aluminium chassis, tactile controls, and vibrant OLED display offer a premium feel that matches the 6000 and 7000 series. The intuitive menu and included remote control provide effortless access to the D7’s extensive features, setting it apart from typical entry-level DACs with limited buttons and LEDs. Whether you’re a seasoned audiophile or new to hi-fi, the D7’s user-friendly design ensures seamless operation.
State-of-the-Art Digital Conversion
At the heart of the D7 lies the advanced ESS9038Q2M 32-bit Sabre DAC chipset, inspired by the award-winning Audiolab 7000A. Paired with proprietary circuitry, including ESS HyperStream II architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator, the D7 delivers ultra-low noise, exceptional dynamic range, and class-leading digital-to-analogue conversion. This ensures your digital sources—CD transports, wireless streamers, or PCs—sound rich, detailed, and true to the original recording.
Versatile Connectivity for All Your Devices
The D7 is a true digital audio hub, offering unmatched connectivity:
-
Inputs: 2 x coaxial, 2 x optical, USB Type-B (for PCs, Macs, smartphones, or tablets), USB HDD (for flash drive playback), and Bluetooth 5.1 with aptX HD support for high-quality wireless streaming.
-
Outputs: Analogue RCA, fully balanced XLR, coaxial, optical, and a high-power headphone output for versatile system integration.
Whether you’re streaming from a smartphone, playing hi-res files from a USB drive, or connecting a CD player, the D7 adapts to your setup with ease.
High-Resolution Audio & Full MQA Decoding
The D7 supports a wide range of hi-res audio formats, including 32-bit/768kHz PCM and DSD512 via USB, and 24-bit/192kHz PCM over S/PDIF. As a full MQA decoder, it performs the complete ‘three unfold’ process internally, delivering studio-quality sound from MQA-encoded files without the need for external rendering. With five DAC reconstruction filter settings and optional upsampling to 352.8kHz or 384kHz, you can fine-tune performance to suit your source files, system, or personal taste.
Powerful Headphone Performance
For headphone enthusiasts, the D7 features a dedicated current-feedback headphone amplifier designed to drive all headphone types with exceptional clarity and power. Whether you’re using in-ears or high-impedance over-ears, the D7 ensures an immersive listening experience.
No Compromises on Quality
The Audiolab D7 is built to last, with a robust aluminium chassis and a sophisticated aesthetic that complements any hi-fi setup. Its performance is backed by impressive specs, including a signal-to-noise ratio of >115dB (RCA) and >117dB (XLR), and total harmonic distortion of <0.001%, ensuring pristine audio reproduction.
