Do you know? I can't find that bit of info on the web.
Also, do you know the difference between the 6000 and 8300 series units?
The company website says they both use the same transport.
I've got a ton of CDs and am not going to move to streaming any year soon.
So I'm real interested in upgrading my digital front end. And my loudspeakers, and ... sigh ...

The 6000 and the 8300 do share the same transport mechanism. The 6000 is a transport only without a built in DAC. The 8300 is a CD player.
I have the 6000CDT transport and I think its quite good. I too was looking for a good player that wouldn't break the bank. The Audiolab 6000CDT coupled with a Schiit Gungnir multibit has been one of the best sounding that I have personally owned.
I am wondering if the 'darker' nature of the unit will be too much for my tube integrated. I really appreciate the smooth tube sound but I don't want to go too far into a 'darker' sound which is what I think this unit will give. I just don't know, and I have no way to audition.
Have you found a cdp ?
I just picked up a used Cary cdp from Audiogon, but I regard this as a stop-gap purchase more than
a decisive acquisition. I was really looking for just a transport, but the added capabilities of the Cary
-it also plays SACD and HDCD-prompted the purchase.I am uncertain and unsettled about the future as my main system is presently belly-up:
Primaluna int-amp back at the distributor, dead Bel Canto cdp, dead Innuos streamer/server.
I don't know where this ends up. Thank goodness for my Naim Muso2, which has surprised
me with its usefulness and its sound quality.

Only know that it's a slot loading drive with a read ahead buffer.
I've tried to identify it by looking at pics/info on the net, but no luck. I plan on opening it up in a couple months once it's off warranty and get a better look.
The 6000cdt is a transport only. The 8300cd shares the same transport, but also includes their M dac, and a preamp + option for MQA.
Cheers!
