RZ-1
The RZ-1 is a sophisticated, high end, integrated music system, made for people who simply love music. The streamlined aluminum front face matched with our low profile chassis beautifully expresses the RZ-1's sophisticated simplicity of operation. The RZ-1 is highly functional yet simply designed delivering on the convergence of multiple media formats - SACD, CD, PC based audio streaming and vinyl LPs.


K07 Super Audio CD/CD Player

“Conveying emotive expression of music to listeners as it was produced without exaggeration”. The “K-07” is built with the philosophy that an integrated Super Audio CD player of the ESOTERIC’s K series will satisfy the highest criteria of music lovers. These features include “VOSP” Super Audio CD transport mechanism, a 32-bit dual mono D/A converter combining multiple DAC circuits, high sampling rate digital inputs and USB input supporting asynchronous transmission at 24 bits/192 kHz as well as a cutting edge high-precision clock circuit.

To create a moving, once-in-a-lifetime connection between music and a listener,the vitality of the music needs to be conveyed in its purest form, without stress.at is the ultimate mission of top-quality audio. ESOTERIC’ s P1 and D1 digital source systems combine remarkable new technologies such as ES-LINK4 and 36-bit D/A processing.It’ s easy to see why these new ‑agship models are called Grandioso, Italian for “magnicent” or “majestic” .



K05 Super Audio CD Player
"Conveying emotive expression of music to listeners as it was produced without exaggeration". The "K-05" is built with the philosophy that an integrated Super Audio CD player of the ESOTERIC's K series will satisfy the highest criteria of music lovers. These features include VRDS-NEO "VMK-5" Super Audio CD transport mechanism with ESOTERIC's established reputation, a 32-bit dual mono D/A converter combining multiple DAC circuits, high sampling rate digital inputs and USB input supporting asynchronous transmission at 24 bits/192 kHz as well as a cutting edge high-precision clock circuit.



K-03X Super Audio CD/CD Player
Using the same design philosophy as the K-01X, the K-03X derives its leading technology from this model. Its VRDS-NEO VMK-3.5-10 drive mechanism incorporates Esoteric’s advanced VS-DD servo driver for even smoother spindle operation. Its dual mono DAC, also found in the K-01X, is configured with 4 individual converter circuits operating in parallel and summed to optimize linearity and minimize noise. It also employs Esoteric’s innovative 34-bit D/A processing algorithm.


K-01X Super Audio CD/CD Player
K-01X is a more compact version of Esoteric’s Grandioso model. Utilizing the same type of chassis construction as the Grandioso and a similar four-transformer power supply, it integrates the Grandioso P1’s high-precision VRDS-NEO “VMK-3.5-20S” turntable with two independent monaural DAC units derived from the Grandioso D1 design, each configured with a parallel array of 8 individual converters, which are summed to optimize linearity and minimize noise. Electronic circuitry has also been further improved with the latest technologies, including a new AK4495S DAC IC, an advanced 35-bit D/A processing algorithm, an HCLD buffer amp, a DSD-compatible USB interface, and a large, low phase noise clock, all ensuring the K-01X achieves the absolute pinnacle of sound quality.

P-02 and D-02

Esoteric’s P-02 SACD/CD transport and D-02 system DAC, aim at the highest level of audio performance, which is only possible using separate audio components, based on the company's basic product design concepts. The P-02 and D-02 have incorporated a number of new technologies such as "ES-LINK3" and "35-bit D/A processing." The P-02 and D-02 are new design implementations from Esoteric, which are totally dedicated to evolving the critical listening experience for music enthusiasts.



Grandiose P1 Super Audio CD Transport
To create a moving, once-in-a-lifetime connection between music and a listener, the vitality of the music needs to be conveyed in its purest form, without stress. At is the ultimate mission of top-quality audio. ESOTERIC’ s P1 and D1 digital source systems combine remarkable new technologies such as ES-LINK4 and 36-bit D/A processing. It’ s easy to see why these new ‑flagship models are called Grandioso, Italian for “magnificent” or “majestic”. Following the concept employed in our trademark P-0 series, a two-chassis structure is used in the traditional ESOTERIC flagship model. The power supply unit has been expanded to full-size, making it possible to include even more extravagant power supply circuits. A total of four independent toroidal power transformers are installed to supply clean and stable DC power to each circuit (VS-DD circuit, drive mechanism drive circuit, digital output circuit, and clock circuit). Various digital output terminals. The P1 is equipped with five types and seven channels of digital output terminals (ES-LINK x 2, XLR x 2, coaxial x 1, i.LINK 4p/6p x 1 each), including a new dedicated ES-LINK4 terminal and dual XLR terminals supporting past versions of ES-LINK. Luxurious leather-finish remote control. Made of aluminum with just the right heft, the remote control has a leather finish that is supple and comfortable in your hand.



Grandiose D1 Monoblock D/A Converter
To create a moving, once-in-a-lifetime connection between music and a listener, the vitality of the music needs to be conveyed in its purest form, without stress. At is the ultimate mission of top-quality audio. ESOTERIC’ s P1 and D1 digital source systems combine remarkable new technologies such as ES-LINK4 and 36-bit D/A processing. It’ s easy to see why these new ‑flagship models are called Grandioso, Italian for “magnificent” or “majestic”. The D1 follows the monaural configuration of the D-01, which we introduced in 2004 as the world’s first monaural D/A converter. The D-01 was developed with the goal of attaining the highest level of channel separation and the ideal power supply to each channel. In the new D1, we have introduced the latest technology and further enhanced the design. The right and left channels can now be link-connected with a single HDMI cable (provided), and easy input from external source devices is possible. With the D1, you can enjoy a world of incredible stereo with the rich stereo image and sonic depth that is only possible with a monaural configuration.



G - 1 Clock
Every digital audio device operates with an internal circuit generating the clock signals, or heartbeat, required to operate that device. This master generator is an extremely stable oscillator that supplies external clocks to digital devices (such as a transport, D/A convertor, Super Audio CD player) equipped with clock input terminals. The master clock generator supplies clock signals with a higher degree of purity and stability than clocks generated internally by digital devices and vastly improves the sound quality. By operating connected devices off the same highly stable master clock, timing errors called jitter are virtually eliminated greatly improving imaging and dimensionality while darkening the background. With the aim of enhancing the true potential of ESOTERIC digital players, the clock generator “G Series” was redesigned as a new generation of devices with improved functionality, power and flexibility.
