Audiolab 9000N Audio Streaming Player

Yes, the 9000N is Roon Ready. This means it integrates seamlessly with the Roon ecosystem, allowing you to use the Roon interface to manage and stream your music library directly to the device without additional configuration.

Yes, you can. The 9000N features both balanced XLR and RCA analog outputs, allowing you to connect it directly to a power amplifier or active speakers. It functions as a high-quality DAC and pre-amplifier, so you don't necessarily need a separate integrated amplifier.

Yes, it includes full MQA decoding. This ensures that if you are streaming MQA-encoded content from services like Tidal, the device will fully unfold and render the audio to its highest resolution.

While the dedicated app is the primary way to manage streaming services and your library, the 9000N also features physical rotary controls on the front panel. You can use these for basic playback operations and navigation, which is displayed on the 4.3-inch color screen.

While the 9000N supports Wi-Fi 5, a wired Ethernet connection is generally more stable for high-resolution audio streaming. If your router is near your audio setup, Ethernet is the preferred choice to prevent potential dropouts or buffering during high-bitrate playback.

Yes, the 9000N supports UPnP, allowing you to stream music files stored on your local network drives or NAS devices. You can manage and access these files through the Audiolab app.
