Esoteric X-01 CD SACD Player
The X-01 has all the features one would expect in a high-end SACD/CD player,
including a speaker configuration function that computes and adjusts the 5.1-
channel surround sound installation environment. In addition, a Word Sync input
port is provided for inputting an ultra-precise clock from the G-0s master clock
generator. 44.1kHz (up to 176.4 kHz) is supported for CD/SACD playback. The X-01
itself uses a high precision crystal clock that generates 3ppm of
accuracy.
Audio Output
To further improve the quality of analog audio reconstruction on the DAC
circuit board, the X-01 employs a specially designed DAC transformer to remove
all noise generated from the transport mechanism and digital circuitry. This
structure enables a completely pure audio signal. Burr-Brown 24- bit DACs are
used as the audio DACs on all channels. To further improve the purity of the
sound, a four-chip-per-channel differential configuration is used on the front
L/R channels for improved linearity and common noise rejection. In addition, the
left and right channels are isolated onto separate circuit boards suppressing
mutual interference between the channels. A crystal oscillator, precise to
+/-3ppm, is placed directly on the audio DAC board to suppress jitter, helping
to ensure highly precise D/A conversion.
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.
