The fit and finish of the Audiolab 6000CDT was extremely solid and high-end feeling, even the remote was intuitive and seemed made of some lightweight metal, not plastic. I love the precise and firm buttons on the front of the CD player. It was definitely a couple steps above my other players in regards to build.
Sound, it didn't blow any of my other CD players away; using a Shiit Modi DAC or the internal DAC of my amps.
However, it portrays a very solid and well rounded performance. It doesn't attract any attention to itself, but rather provides neutral information. The nice thing I noticed is with the 6000CDT there is zero glare to the sound that you often get with cheap CD and DVD players playing music. This is a beautiful thing. It plays very clean, smooth, and with an expansive soundstage.
Most of my players are no longer sold except the Teac P650, which gets average reviews for reliability but really good reviews for sound. For around $150 when I bought the Teac 3 years ago it was a steal. My hearing is fairly good, and honestly I don't see upgrading from an already decent CD player to the 6000CDT. I barely could hear any difference after 4 months between the 6000CDT, 15 year old Denon, and the Teac. The cheaper DVD players from Koss, and definitely Sony, there was a little less refinement and sound quality.
If your current CD player breaks then definitely check out the 6000CDT.

The Audiolab 6000CDT is a handsome looking piece of kit in either matte black or silver. I chose black which is actually closer to a dark gray. No shiny bits so no fingerprints either.
Build - Top notch with proper reinforcement with a large number of visible fasteners. All aluminum with a large OLED screen.
I attempted to make this unit skip by tapping, knocking, and even allowing my kids to jump in front of it and still not one single skip. Impressive. Images of the inside also indicate top both have build exceeding its price bracket.
Functionality - It does everything you need for it to with a fully functional remote. Back side is stark with only power cable (detachable, thick, and long), and spdif. No balanced
Sound - Get a DAC because this has no sound and thats the point. Its a transport and a darn good one at that.
Overall theres nothing negative to say about the Audiolab 6000CDT. It looks great, comes in at a great price, and is built extremely well at its price point. I can think of a handful of transports out there now that are even more expensive than this one that just dont do anything any better and dont justify that price difference either.
If I had to nitpick something Id say the remote for my taste is too big. Its a general remote that also works with Audiolabs other pieces within the range. It is nice and has some heft to it due to a nice piece of aluminum up top.
I just wish it were smaller but thats hair splitting.
Just buy the damn thing and worry about DACs and amps.
