New Transport/ DAC from Esoteric

P-02

D-02

- “ES-LINK3” is Esoteric’s proprietary brand new PCM digital link format enables extremely high definition: 48bit/176.4kHz data transmission.The system also supports “DUAL AES 8Fs” format, which allows 24bit/352.8kHz data transmission.

- The D-02 is implemented with highly advanced patent pending technology: “35bit D/A Processing” algorithm.Digital data processing is done with 35bit basis, which definition is 2048 times higher than 24bit based DAC system.Ultimate high definition digital processing contributes to the D-02’s pure, smooth analog sound quality.

- Direct, pure and precise.22.5792MHz “master clock” is used to link two digital devices to maximize digital signal purity.

- The clock module each unit has, is completely isolated from other digital and analog circuits to keep clock signal as pure as possible.

- The P-02/D-02 system is equipped with i.LINK terminals, and supports SACD multi-channel playback when 3sets of D-02 is connected to the P-02.

VS-DD = VRDS Spindle Discrete Driver

A discrete amplifier circuit dedicated to drive only the spindle motor. This achieves smoother spindle rotation and smoother rotation provides more accurate data retrieval.

The VS-DD power supply ensures highly stable power supply capability, being free from power fluctuations associated with “shared” power supplies. This power supply is fully isolated from the audio circuit, free from motor noise and vibration.
