Advanced DAC Technology
Audiolab have elevated the DAC performance with the new ESS Sabre ES9038Q2M chipset, an upgrade from the original 6000A’s ES9018. This flagship DAC supports 32-bit/768kHz PCM and incorporates HyperStream® II architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator for ultra-low noise and exceptional dynamic range. Building on the DAC design from the 7000A, the MKII also benefits from a new Class A circuit in the post-DAC active filter stage, offering a more refined listening experience.
Expanded Connectivity
Then, there’s the connectivity: the state-of-the-art digital-to-analogue signal conversion enables the four S/PDIF inputs and new HDMI ARC input for convenient AV system integration – a key area of improvement over the original model and new ‘must’ for a growing number of modern audiophiles. Then there's a step up to a Bluetooth 5.1 aptX HD receiver. for optimum range, speed and performance when streaming over Bluetooth connection.
Class AB Amplification:
Audiophile Pedigree
Unlike the growing trend of Class D amplifiers offered by competitors at this price point, the 6000A MKII stays true to Audiolab's audiophile heritage with a Class AB power amplifier. The amplifier delivers 50W per channel, with a peak current delivery of 11 amps into difficult loads. The amplifier’s CFB (Complementary Feedback) topology ensures superior linearity and thermal stability, keeping the idle current independent of output transistor temperatures.
Signal Purity and Flexibility
The preamp section of the 6000A MKII continues Audiolab’s philosophy of minimalism for maximum signal purity. The precision analogue volume control and independent low-noise power supplies ensure a performance that competes with significantly more expensive analogue amplifiers.
Other inputs continue to extend to analogue RCA and a phono stage with a dedicated high-quality, low-noise circuit with precise RIAA equalisation. Not to mention the now-Audiolab standard dedicated headphone amp also with current-feedback circuitry. Its gain bandwidth and high slew rate ensure a dynamic, detailed and engaging performance with all manner of headphone types – more boxes ticked for this most integrated of integrated amplifiers.
Multi-Functional Operation Modes
The multifunctional operation modes are implemented as standard too: ‘Integrated’ – a combination of the pre and power amp stages. ‘Pre’ - which turns the unit into a dedicated preamplifier. And ‘Pre Power’ mode: a unique mode that separates the pre and power stages:
‘Pre-Power Mode’ disconnects the pre and power amp stages so the 6000A MKII can be used solely as a power amp—for example, connected to an AV processor in a home cinema system. It also enables additional signal processing by connecting the 6000A’s ‘preamp out’ socket to an external processor and returning the processor’s output to the amp’s ‘power amp in’ socket.
DALI SONIK 3 Bookshelf Speakers
Premium Bookshelf Speakers with Powerful, Room-Filling Sound
The DALI SONIK 3 is a high-performance bookshelf speaker designed for listeners who want the precision of a studio monitor with the scale and musicality of a much larger loudspeaker.

Whether used for dedicated stereo listening, desktop audio, or as part of a premium home entertainment system, the SONIK 3 produces an engaging, natural sound that brings every recording to life.
Large Driver, Bigger Performance
At the heart of the SONIK 3 is a 7-inch Clarity Cone™ bass/midrange driver, engineered with DALI's signature paper and wood-fibre diaphragm. This lightweight yet rigid cone minimizes unwanted coloration while delivering highly detailed vocals, accurate instrument reproduction, and powerful low-frequency performance. Paired with a 29 mm ultra-light soft dome tweeter, the speaker reproduces crisp highs, smooth midrange, and precise timing for a balanced listening experience across every music genre.
Patented SMC™ Technology for Lower Distortion
The SONIK 3 incorporates DALI's patented SMC™ Essential Magnet System, developed to reduce magnetic distortion and improve driver linearity. By minimizing hysteresis and eddy currents around the voice coil, the speaker delivers cleaner transients, greater detail, and a more relaxed, natural presentation—even during demanding musical passages. The result is exceptional clarity and long-term listening comfort.
Flexible Placement for Any Room
Designed to adapt to your living space, the SONIK 3 performs beautifully on speaker stands, bookshelves, media cabinets, or other furniture. Its wide-dispersion design provides consistent sound throughout the room, reducing the need for precise positioning while maintaining accurate stereo imaging and tonal balance. This flexibility makes it an excellent choice for both dedicated listening rooms and everyday living environments.
Elegant Scandinavian Design
The SONIK 3 combines outstanding acoustic performance with timeless Danish design. Its compact cabinet is available in premium finishes that complement both contemporary and traditional interiors. Clean lines, quality craftsmanship, and understated styling allow the speaker to blend seamlessly into any home while delivering true high-fidelity sound.
