Audiolab 8000AP – Pre-Amplifier 

 
 

6.  

Post DAC Phase Linear active filters. 

 

Phase linear active filters are utilised after the D-A conversion, using components chosen for their 
excellent sonic characteristics. This moves DAC noise outside the audible spectrum, lowering the 
noise floor significantly and optimises the analogue output prior to amplification. 

 

7.  

CODEC (SPDIF receiver, Stereo A/D, 8 Channel DAC)  

 

The 8000AP uses a high quality 8 channel CODEC which includes the following features and 
performance. 

 

 

A/D converters: 24Bit / 48kHz 

 

D/A converters: 24Bit / 192kHz 

 S/PDIF

8 Channel SPDIF input multiplexer 

 

Differential analogue architecture 

 

-100 dB THD+N 

 

8.  

Microprocessor 

 

A powerful microprocessor ensures all the component parts of the 8000AP work together seamlessly. 

 

9. DSP 

 

 The 8000AP uses a "Dual" DSP which integrates a multi-channel audio decoder and a 32-bit audio 
processor with an audio optimised software framework. This allows the 8000AP to decode all of the 
popular processing modes listed below.
