Esoteric X-01LTD CD SACD Player
Main internal wiring has been upgraded to “6N copper class,” providing a
highly accurate signal path for enhanced audio reproduction.
By upgrading to high purity 6N copper class wire, the X-01’s audio resolution
characteristics and “acoustic texture” improves. This wiring was jointly
developed with Mitsubishi Cable Industries, Ltd. and Acro Japan Ltd.
Other improvements include internal connection and higher grade power cables,
adopted from the Esoteric P-01/D-01 “flagship” system components.
Upgraded audio output circuits influence and improve performance of the D to
A signal converter. Through the use of upgraded capacitors and resistors, like
those used in the P-01/D-01 system, Esoteric has enhanced the DAC and analog
output stage for audio performance. This provides superior ambience and
“presence,” creating more of an “open air” listening experience. These
improvements allow a more “natural impact” and audible depth of field perception
is also improved. This architecture evolved from the P-01/D-01 “Flagship.”
system.
Audio output terminals (L/R) and digital audio output terminals are upgraded
to RCA "NextGen" terminal connectors, as provided by Germany’s WBT Company.
These terminal upgrades to model “WBT-0210Cu,” RCA’s next generation
connectors, provide higher performance for audio output applications. Typically,
lower grade connector plates touch a “cold side.” Electrically this is assumed
to be an open structure by contact at that single point. The RCA “NextGen WBT”
connectors eliminate adverse effects generated by an open structure, and noise
such as eddy current is greatly reduced or even eliminated. Additionally,
digital transmission, in combination with a new high-level, digital cable, one
that guarantees 75O impedance is now utilized. This allows better control of
signal attenuation due impedance fluctuation. This adds additional sonic
improvements noticeable within a listening environment.
Construction & Design
Because the VRDS-NEO mechanism is significantly heavier than the mechanisms
used in ordinary players, a three-part chassis design is used to support it. The
mechanism is centered within the chassis for stability. The chassis is supported
by three pinpoint feet (patent pending) made of quenched steel; this allows the
unit to be mechanically isolated from its environment. Thick aluminum is used on
the top panel and side panels in addition to the front panel to block
vibrations. The front panel is designed to be simple yet elegant, with a brushed
finish. The beautifully engraved logo, illuminated buttons with lit peripheries,
and other features all contribute to the sense of quality found only in high-end
audiophile equipment.
