For unbalanced output, the ground potential is actively driven to 0V so that any fluctuations of ground (earth) potential in each of the left and right channels do not affect the other, thus realizing eminently clear channel separation, uncompromising high performance, and superb musical expressiveness with both balanced and unbalanced connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"col-md-8\"\u003e\u003cimg width=\"401\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esoteric.jp\/images\/products\/_esoteric\/n-05xd\/n-05xd_hp_circuit_block_diagram.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive\" alt=\"N-05XD\" height=\"214\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"col-md-4\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" height=\"300\" width=\"275\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esoteric.jp\/images\/products\/_esoteric\/n-05xd\/n--05xd_headphone_terminals.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive\" alt=\"N-05XD\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv width=\"100%\" class=\"fixed-background background-4\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 align=\"center\"\u003e— The Ultimate Versatility —\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"scroll-background\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"future_description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block-title\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe Ultimate Versatility\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block-detail\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe N-05XD is also a highlyversatile high-end component that has been meticulously finished without any compromise, providing top-tier audio performance, no matter the function the user selects to use.

The VRDS-ATLAS transport mechanism is center-placed and rigidly fixed to a 5mm-thick steel bottom chassis via a 2mm-thick steel base plate, while the entire chassis is then supported at three points by a unique pin-point foot (Japan Patent No. 4075477 and 3778108).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike upper class models, the bottom chassis has been laser cut with slits to effectively disperse and suppress vibrations from the rotating mechanism.

boundaries of high quality sound reproduction. The Esoteric brand is known for its outstanding acoustic engineering that has sustained its reputation and prestige, its massive investment without regard to cost, its \"museum quality\" craftsmanship, and its beautiful designs worthy of music reproduction. \"Grandioso\" is the top model in each product category that has reached the highest level of quality defined by the brand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn classical music, a phrase that indicates how a piece of music should be played is called a conception motto. For example, \"cantabile\" (as if singing), \"legato\" (smoothly), and so on. A flagship model should have the dignity and stature of a top-of-the-line product. We named it \"grandioso\" (grand, majestic, dignified), which we likened to the motto of classical music. Grandioso has brought a number of highly original innovations to the world of high-end audio, including the legendary VRDS-ATLAS Super Audio CD transport mechanism, the Master Sound Discrete DAC and the Master Sound Discrete Clock, which consist of unique discrete circuits.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFinally, three SE models are now available with new discrete clock technology and improved analog circuitry in the DAC.

Music is infused with all the passion that a performer brings to a passage, with instantaneous and explosive energy. We wondered if it was possible to use higher-grade parts than integrated chips, as well as more luxurious materials, to create a more powerful DAC that could deliver a superlative analog signal.

We named it \"grandioso\" (grand, majestic, dignified), which we likened to the motto of classical music. Grandioso has brought a number of highly original innovations to the world of high-end audio, including the legendary VRDS-ATLAS Super Audio CD transport mechanism, the Master Sound Discrete DAC and the Master Sound Discrete Clock, which consist of unique discrete circuits.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFinally, three SE models are now available with new discrete clock technology and improved analog circuitry in the DAC.

The transport's larger new side panels and bridge are all formed of SS400 steel, and its turntable is made from duralumin, which is renowned for its excellent sound quality.

The Grandioso K1X released soon after successfully combines ESOTERIC’s two most innovative P1X\/D1X technologies—its VRDS-ATLAS transport mechanism and Master Sound Discrete DAC—into a single chassis design that delivers an uncompromising response to customer requests for superior sound quality in a more compact configuration, and further enhances ESOTERIC’s sterling reputation as an industry leader.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg height=\"149\" alt=\"F1\" class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esoteric.jp\/images\/products\/_esoteric\/ps1\/ps1_logo.jpg\" width=\"397\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-12\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new PS1 is a high-performance external power supply that has been specially designed for use with the K1X Super Audio CD Player. While the K1X’s integrated design offers excellent space-saving characteristics, to obtain closer level of performance as ESOTERIC’s top-of-the-line P1X\/D1X, development was focused on providing a never before seen level of scalability. Then, in the process of evaluating the K1X’s development, a new idea was hatched: Develop a high-performance external power supply that could deliver even greater enhancements to the K1X’s superb sound quality. As a result, the Grandioso PS1 development project was officially launched. The project resulted in a high-performance power supply that optimizes the performance of the K1X’s VRDS-ATLAS CD transport and Master Sound Discrete DAC, while providing further enhancements to its already breathtakingly realistic audio playback, thus making it feel as if one is experiencing a live performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"future_description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block-title\"\u003eFour Powerful Independent Power Transformers\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecially designed as a high-performance external power supply for the Grandioso K1X’s analog circuits (D\/A converter module), the Grandioso PS1 features four powerful independent power transformers. Normally, the K1X’s analog front (D\/A section) and rear (buffer amplifier section) circuits are driven by one power transformer for each channel. However, when the PS1 is connected, the power transformers for the D\/A section and buffer amplifier section are separated for an enhanced high-performance design that features two transformers per channel. This provides clearer separation between analog and digital signals that eliminates mutual interference. The virtual doubling of the power supply circuit also ensures an ample supply of DC power for richer tone quality and noticeable improvements in the signal-to-noise level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pc-dsp\"\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"col-sm-12\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"225\" alt=\"Grandioso PS1\" class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esoteric.jp\/images\/products\/_esoteric\/ps1\/ps1_illust_01_en_pc.jpg\" width=\"400\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"future_description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block-title\"\u003eSignificant Reductions in Audio Circuit Vibration and Magnetic Flux Leakage\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe benefits of connecting the PS1 to the K1X extend beyond a mere increase in the scale of the analog circuit (D\/A converter module) power supply from two transformers to four. By shutting down the K1X’s two analog circuit power transformers, the influence of transformer vibration and magnetic flux leakage on the analog circuits is also greatly reduced, thus enabling further improvements to overall sound quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"future_description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block-title\"\u003eEnhanced Digital\/Analog Separation in a Fully Optimized Power Supply\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the PS1 is connected to the K1X, the two transformers that normally power the K1X’s analog circuits shut down. However, its two remaining transformers (powering the K1X’s digital circuits and mechanical components) continue to operate. In other words, the digital and analog power supplies are effectively separated by supplying high-quality analog DC power from a separate unit and using the K1X’s internal power supply to drive its digital circuits alone. This enables more complete isolation of the analog circuits, resulting in vastly improved sound quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"future_description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block-title\"\u003eHigh-Rigidity Chassis Construction\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"col-sm-12\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"213\" alt=\"Grandioso PS1\" class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esoteric.jp\/images\/products\/_esoteric\/ps1\/ps1_interior2.jpg\" width=\"400\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs components, power transformers inherently tend to generate significant amounts of vibration. Because the PS1 has four built-in transformers, special emphasis was placed on its design and chassis construction in order to both minimize vibration and maintain the highest possible sound quality. The enclosure’s lower chassis, into which all its major electrical components are installed, utilizes a dual-layer structure that positions the power transformers and other components on separate, isolated layers to minimize electrical and vibration-related interference between components. Furthermore, its high-rigidity enclosure is constructed of thick, heavyweight aluminum panels, and combines with ESOTERIC’s proprietary pinpoint feet (patent numbers JP4075477 and JP3778108) to

The “stepped attenuator circuit,” which switches multiple fixed resistors to adjust the volume, is an ideal method for a preamplifier that pursues sound quality because of high reliability at the contact points and bringing out pure and direct sound quality. However, since the volume is defined by switching resistors, the circuit scale becomes too large for smooth volume adjustment. In contrast, another method, “variable resistor (potentiometer)” allows smooth, step-less volume adjustment. However, the signal path is longer, and the potential of deterioration of crosstalk between the left and right channels and deterioration of contact points exists due to aging. The newly developed “Ultra Fidelity Attenuator System” is the fruit of our pursuit of an ideal attenuator circuit that realizes smooth, step-less volume control of the “variable resistor”, while maintaining the excellent sound quality of the “stepped attenuator circuit”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"col-sm-12\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"250\" alt=\"Grandioso C1X solo\" class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esoteric.jp\/images\/products\/_esoteric\/c1x_solo\/c1x_solo_front_top2.jpg\" width=\"400\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block-title\"\u003eAttenuator module “UFA-1792”\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe core of the Ultra Fidelity Attenuator System is the UFA-1792, our proprietary module that integrates a stepped resistor attenuator into an integrated circuit.

We also aimed for a high-end operability that is full of elegance and a pleasure to use, such as fading out\/fading in the music signal when switching inputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pc-dsp\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fixed-background background-5\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 align=\"center\"\u003eMechanical Perfection \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"scroll-background\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"future_description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block-title\"\u003eChassis construction\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo achieve the unique design goal of “reproducing the master sound,” the C1X solo chassis optimally controls all vibrations that can affect sound quality.

Along with the Grandioso C1X linestage preamp, Esoteric challenges the limits of fidelity in preamp to amplifier signal transmission. Esoteric's unique current transmission system “ES-Link Analog” is the ideal method for preamp to amplifier transmission where the signal level is extremely low. Compared to the conventional voltage transmission, it transmits approximately 100 times more current, making it less susceptible to noise and sending the full energy of the music to the amplifier.\u003cbr\u003eAlso, in principle, it is not affected by the impedance of the interconnects running between the preamp and amplifier, so it is possible to maintain perfect integrity between the output signal of the preamp and the input signal to the amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"col-sm-12\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Grandioso M1X\" class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esoteric.jp\/images\/products\/_esoteric\/m1x\/m1x_c1x_vis-a-vis_black_bg.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"180\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block-title\"\u003e2,400W\/1Ω\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe all-new drive stage has been expanded in size by 150%, from 6 to 12 parallels, while boasting an astonishing power linearity from 300W\/8Ω to 2,400W\/1Ω*.

By connecting devices that support this method, it is possible to reproduce the sound as if it were being played directly from an analog console in a recording studio. The sonic signature of ES-Link Analog is powerful, live and dimensional. In conventional voltage transmission, the output impedance of the source device is low, and the input impedance of the target device is high. In other words, the current required for signal transmission tends to be kept low.\u003cbr\u003eAlso, due to the resistance component (impedance) of the transmission path (interconnect cable), the voltage of the transmitted signal is attenuated by the level calculated by Ohm's law (voltage = current × resistance) when delivered to the target device. Therefore, a longer the cable causes increased resistance which has significant affects on that signal.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pc-dsp\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"58\" alt=\"Grandioso S1X\" class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esoteric.jp\/images\/products\/_esoteric\/s1x\/esl-a_illust_e_pc2.jpg\" width=\"400\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn contrast, in current transmission, the output impedance of the source device is high and the input impedance of the input device is low, resulting in a \"High out, Low in\" circuit, and the current level is maintained higher during signal transmission than in voltage transmission, allowing a powerful audio signal delivery.\u003cbr\u003eAlso, in current transmission, the current level output from the source device always matches the one on the target device. Imagine using a hose to send water from a faucet to a bucket. As long as there are no holes in the hose, the same amount of water from the faucet will always flow to the bucket, regardless of the length of the hose.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSimilarly, if the cable that serves as the transmission path is not divided into multiple paths, all current from the source device will be delivered to the target device, and the current values flowing will always be the same, even if the transmission path is longer. This advantage of accurate transmission of even the smallest signals is evident from the fact that current transmission is widely used in measuring instruments that measure precise signals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConventional voltage transmission impedance of the Esoteric products is designed several tens of ohms on out-going circuits and around 100k ohms on in-coming circuits. In contrast, the ES-Link Analog out-going\/in-coming circuits are designed approximately 1kΩ on the out-going circuit, and 0Ω on the in-coming circuit.\u003cbr\u003eIf we focus on the current value that flows when transmitting audio signals, the current level of ES-Link Analog transmission when transmitting audio signals at the same level as normal voltage transmission is approximately 100 times higher than the current level flowing in voltage transmission.

This mode is effective when resolution is more important than driving power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pc-dsp\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"260\" alt=\"Grandioso

The material forming its crystal provides a more natural tone quality, extremely low phase noise, and exceptional stability when used in combination with the G1X’s advanced temperature control system. Since quartz crystals generate their clock signals through vibration, or resonance, there is a profound correlation between the physical characteristics of the base material and ultimate sound quality. Larger crystals tend to produce a higher drive level that is less easily affected by high resistance within the circuit. They also produce a more stable oscillation. Therefore, every detail in the manufacturing process, from cut shape to size, was carefully examined in pursuit of creating an oscillator that offers the best electrophysical characteristics for ultimate sound quality. Based on a highly reliable variety of quartz crystal developed for the aerospace industry, Esoteric was able to complete the development of its exclusive musical reproduction-dedicated SC1 crystal. The crystal material itself is grown slowly over an extremely long period of time, and then SC (Stress Compensated) cut into its final shape. To ensure optimal control of its resonant vibration, Esoteric proudly introduces the largest sized mass-produced crystal in its class, carefully selecting and utilizing only those pieces whose center frequency fluctuations are within Esoteric’s strict standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block-title\"\u003eOriginal Master Sound TC\u003csmall\u003e\u003csup\u003e*\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/small\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eTemperature Control Program\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince the frequency accuracy of a crystal can change drastically due to the influence of ambient air temperatures, temperature control is the most important factor in maintaining a clock’s highest possible accuracy. Esoteric’s exclusive Master Sound TC is a total temperature control system designed to maximize the performance of the crystal oscillator. Not only the physical hardware, but also its control software is designed and manufactured in-house, ensuring that the G1X Master Sound Discrete Clock achieves the ultimate in audio performance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn most conventional OCXO circuits, the crystal is kept in a compact oven at an appropriate temperature of approximately 85°C. However, since the temperature at which a crystal exhibits its best performance can vary widely from one crystal to the next, it has been common until now to correct for any clock frequency error using a supplementary correction circuit. In the Master Sound TC system, a customized program micro-controls the oven in order to maintain the optimum temperature for each individual crystal to achieve its most accurate operating performance. This design keeps any circuit signal correction to an absolute minimum, thus providing the purest and most natural clock output, and by extension the cleanest and most accurate sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003csmall\u003e*TC: Thermo-Control\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"txtbox\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaster Sound TC System – Production Process\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the case of Esoteric’s new SC1 crystal, temperature characteristics are measured individually at the time of manufacture, and characteristic charts are produced for each individual unit.

In addition, the large heat sinks of the amplifier block have a unique wave shape that disperses the peak resonance of the fins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"col-md-8 col-md-offset-2\"\u003e\u003cimg width=\"401\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esoteric.jp\/images\/products\/_esoteric\/f-01\/f-01_pinpoint_foot.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive\" alt=\"\" height=\"301\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"col-sm-6 col-sm-offset-3\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.esoteric.jp\/images\/products\/_esoteric\/f-01\/pinpoint_foot_amination_en.gif\" width=\"401\" height=\"145\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block-title\"\u003eFlexible System Upgradability\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAchieving a level of perfection in the separate amplifier class, the F Series can be used in a variety of system upgrades that go beyond the limits of an integrated amplifier.\u003cbr\u003eBy connecting the S-05 class A amplifier to the pre-outputs (XLR\/ES-Link Analog), a multi-amplifier system can be built.

The new F Series also features a unique \"Ultra Fidelity Attenuator System\", and the power supply section of the preamplifier has been further upgraded.

In other words, a system with a low supply voltage will not allow sufficient amplitude of the audio signal, resulting in suppressed dynamic range and an unfavorable signal-to-noise ratio. The heart of the preamp, the attenuator circuit, features the \"Ultra Fidelity Attenuator System\" used in the Grandioso C1X. This proprietary Esoteric system is designed with a high supply voltage to maximize dynamics and greatly improve the signal-to-noise ratio. In addition, even though it is a stepped attenuator circuit, the 0.1dB\/1,120 steps (more than 10 times the number of steps of a typical preamp) allow for silky smooth and detailed volume adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"col-md-8 col-md-offset-2\"\u003e\u003cimg width=\"401\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esoteric.jp\/images\/products\/_esoteric\/f-01\/f-01_preamp_pcb.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive\" alt=\"\" height=\"301\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"footnote-text\"\u003eThe left and right preamp input boards (left and center) and the preamp board (right) are completely independent.

In other words, the current required for signal transmission tends to be kept low.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlso, due to the resistance component (impedance) of the transmission path (interconnect cable), the voltage of the transmitted signal is attenuated by the level calculated by Ohm's law (voltage = current × resistance) when delivered to the target device. Therefore, a longer the cable causes increased resistance which has significant affects on that signal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn contrast, in current transmission, the output impedance of the source device is high and the input impedance of the input device is low, resulting in a “High out, Low in” circuit, and the current level is maintained higher during signal transmission than in voltage transmission, allowing a powerful audio signal delivery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlso, in current transmission, the current level output from the source device always matches the one on the target device.

However, the signal paths are connected in the shortest possible time, and the circuitry is surprisingly simple. The clear sound quality is supported by the \"subtractive aesthetics,\" so to speak, created by the crystallization of advanced engineering. Class A amplifiers generate a lot of heat, so internal temperature stability is extremely important.\u003cbr\u003eFor this reason, we optimized the position and circuitry of the temperature compensation circuit to stabilize the temperature of the entire amplifier block. This contributes to high sound quality because it speeds up the stabilization of the idling current after power-on and allows the amplifier elements to operate at their best characteristics.\u003cbr\u003eThe phase compensation circuit is a simple one-pole configuration and the final stage is coil-less, minimizing negative feedback (NFB) and enhancing the dynamism of the music.

The front and side panels are made of heavy-duty, thick-walled aluminum to suppress external vibrations. The Master Sound Discrete Clock module inside the chassis is freely mounted and grounded by its own weight without the use of mounting screws. The isolation feet, machined from steel and supported at three points, use a special mounting method that uses the weight of the chassis to connect to the bottom plate. By eliminating as many screws as possible for mounting the clock module and isolation feet, and by avoiding the stress concentration caused by screwing these vibration-sensitive components together, a natural vibration damping effect can be achieved, resulting in superior sound quality. In addition, the top plate has a semi-floating structure that is not fixed with screws, resulting in an open sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"col-sm-10 col-sm-offset-1\"\u003e\u003cimg width=\"398\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esoteric.jp\/images\/products\/_esoteric\/g-05\/g-05_image_03_pc.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive\" alt=\"G-05\" height=\"244\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpec description\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product_style\"\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" class=\"table table-bordered table-striped spec_table\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" class=\"spec_lv0\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClock output\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" class=\"spec_lv2\"\u003eOutput freqeuncy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e10MHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" class=\"spec_lv2\"\u003eFrequency precision\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003eWithin ±0.01ppm\u003csmall\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(when shipped new)\u003c\/small\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" class=\"spec_lv2\"\u003eConnectors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003eBNC × 4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" class=\"spec_lv2\"\u003eOutput level\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003eSine wave 0.5 ±0.1Vrms \/ 50Ω\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" class=\"spec_lv0\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" class=\"spec_lv2\"\u003ePower\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" class=\"spec_lv3\"\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003eAC 120V, 60Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" class=\"spec_lv3\"\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003eAC 220-240V, 50\/60Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" class=\"spec_lv2\"\u003ePower consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e10W\u003csmall\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(when stable)\u003c\/small\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" class=\"spec_lv2\"\u003eOverall dimensions\u003csmall\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(W×H×D)\u003c\/small\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e380 × 128 × 350mm\u003csmall\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(including protrusions)\u003c\/small\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" class=\"spec_lv2\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e10.0kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" class=\"spec_lv0\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccessories\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003ePower cord × 1\u003cbr\u003eFelt pads × 3\u003cbr\u003eOwner’s manual × 1\u003cbr\u003eWararnty card × 1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product_text\"\u003e*This product is available in two different power supply variations as shown in the chart above.

integrated amplifiers select inputs in the internal preamp stage, adjust the volume, and send the signal to the power amplifier block to drive the speakers. The power amplifier blocks of the F-01\/F-02 amplify the signal from the preamp to a level approximately 27 times higher. In an audio system, the sound quality of the preamp has a significant effect on the quality of the entire system because of this high gain ratio. By isolating the preamp section's power supply from other circuits to prevent mutual interference, and by increasing its capacitance, the integrated amplifier can deliver higher quality sound to the speakers that can match the quality of a high-end separate amplifier system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-sm-10 col-sm-offset-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"columnbox\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Original F-01\/F-02 Preamp Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe preamp section of the F-01\/F-02 is meticulously designed as a high-end model, with a large, fully balanced dual-mono circuit configuration and the “Ultra Fidelity Attenuator System” developed for the Grandioso C1X.

The material forming its crystal provides a more natural tone quality, extremely low phase noise, and exceptional stability when used in combination with the G-01XD’s advanced temperature control system. Since quartz crystals generate their clock signals through vibration, or resonance, there is a profound correlation between the physical characteristics of the base material and ultimate sound quality. Larger crystals tend to produce a higher drive level that is less easily affected by high resistance within the circuit. They also produce a more stable oscillation. Therefore, every detail in the manufacturing process, from cut shape to size, was carefully examined in pursuit of creating an oscillator that offers the best electrophysical characteristics for ultimate sound quality. Based on a highly reliable variety of quartz crystal developed for the aerospace industry, Esoteric was able to complete the development of its exclusive musical reproduction-dedicated SC1 crystal. The crystal material itself is grown slowly over an extremely long period of time, and then SC (Stress Compensated) cut into its final shape. To ensure optimal control of its resonant vibration, Esoteric proudly introduces the largest sized mass-produced crystal in its class, carefully selecting and utilizing only those pieces whose center frequency fluctuations are within Esoteric’s strict standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"col-md-10 col-md-offset-1\"\u003e\u003cimg width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esoteric.jp\/images\/products\/_esoteric\/g-01xd\/g-01xd_02.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive\" alt=\"G-01XD\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-sm-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block-title\"\u003eMaster Sound TC* – Esoteric's Proprietary Temperature Control Program\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrystal frequency accuracy is affected by temperature.

The front and side panels are made of heavy-duty, thick-walled aluminum to suppress external vibrations. The Master Sound Discrete Clock module inside the chassis is freely mounted and mechanically grounded by its own weight without the use of mounting screws. Esoteric’s unique Pinpoint Foot System (Patent No. 4075477, No. 3778108) does not use screws to attach the foot base to the lower chassis, but is held in place by the weight of the chassis when installed. By eliminating as many screws as possible to reduce stress concentration on these vibration-sensitive components, a natural vibration damping effect can be achieved, resulting in superior sound quality. In addition, the top plate has a semi-floating structure that is not fixed with screws, resulting in an open sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"col-md-10 col-md-offset-1\"\u003e\u003cimg

Suspended from the lower chassis, the top of the foot connects to the lower chassis under the weight of the unit when placed. The top of the foot has been tapered to a conical shape to minimize the contact area between the chassis and the foot. The bottom of the foot (integral spike pad) is also concave in a ring shape so that it touches the floor only at the edges, with added slots to disperse resonant modes. By minimizing the contact area between the chassis and the foot, as well as between the spike pad and the floor, vibration control has been optimized, resulting in sharper focus and a more open
