Reference series P-01 transport
 
P01 SACD/CD TRANSPORT
Model P01 with external power supply and optional upgraded version model P01VU

Considered by many to be the finest audio transport in the world, this is Esoteric's flagship SACD/CD transport, equipped with Esoteric's most advanced VRDS-NEO mechanism. Rigidity and vibration-resistant ability has been improved by the use of a half inch-thick, solid shaved-aluminum mechanism base plate. The motor of the tray open/close mechanism is the same type as that used for the pick-up motor, a three-phase brush-less speed-controlled neodymium motor. The smooth, elegant opening and closing motion is reflective of the superb quality of this reference grade transport.

G-0Rb Master / G-03X Master
Master Clock Generator 
[Rubidium Model]  - G-0Rb 
[Crystal Model] G-03X

Ever since Esoteric introduced the, “master clock generators” G-0s / G-0 in 2003, they have been critically acclaimed by high-end audiophiles for ultra-precise word clock management, maximizing the reproduction potential of digital source components. Esoteric is proud to introduce a new generation of master clocks, incorporating new technology enhancements in models G-0Rb and G-03X. 

The G-0Rb evolved from the G-0s and features a new “Rubidium-exclusive” circuit design with highly purified components, including a newly designed power supply. 

The G-03X evolved from the G-0 and features a “Crystal-exclusive circuit design” coupled with a slim and elegant profile. The G-03X provides affordability for a wider audience of Esoteric source component owners, without sacrificing any performance aspects of G-0 performance!

D-01 Monaural DAC

D-01 Monaural D/A converter

The World's first monaural D/A converter - Esoteric D-01/D-01VU designed to bring out the full potential of SACD and CD formats.

The advantage of developing a D/A converter as a monaural unit is to avoid channel cross-talk. A monaural unit also allows proper power distribution for each individual analog audio circuit. In addition, separate D/A converters eliminate the differences in sound between the left and right channels because each separate unit has the exact same parts and PCB layout pattern.

SA-10 SACD Player

 

SA-10 SACD Player

The SA-10, newly designed, engineered and manufactured by Esoteric, offers high grade audiophile performance to a wider audience at affordable price points. The SA-10 features our proprietary disc transport system which was developed as a vertically aligned optical stability platform ("VOSP"). The VOSP mechanism was first used in our UZ-1, SZ-1, DV-60 and SA-60. 

The benefit of this transport is that it reduces vibrations and resonance associated with signal noise and eliminates the need for off axis error correction. Unlike conventional disc players where the optics are supported by a wire platform, no off axis tracking is allowed by the VOSP system. This greatly improves data retrieval and dramatically reduces the need for data interpolation.

C-03 Preamplifier
C-03 Linestage Preamplifier

The C-03 Linestage Preamplifier is a pure integration of ESOTERIC's proprietary design, engineering and manufacturing. Requested for many years by retail dealers and consumers, this new integration now culminates in highly advanced, analog signal processing.

A dual mono pre amp driven by dedicated channel, custom power supplies, the C-03 reproduces a true-to-life soundstage with precise detail of each musical expression. Circuit components including input stage, output stage, and power supplies are completely isolated for ideal signal transmission. The C-03 features a highly rigid multiple-chambered chassis design for optimum resonance control properties following in the footsteps of the highly acclaimed P-03/D-03 component system.

UX-3Pi Universal Disc Player

UX-3Pi SACD/CD/DVD Audio/DVD Video Universal Disc Player

The UX-3Pi includes incremental and optional updates to the UX-3SE. Audio playback circuitry in the Pi is identical to that of the SE. As in the UX-3SE, the UX-3Pi's advanced 14 bit video processing and custom video output stage enables DVD up-conversion to high definition "HD" output at 480p, 720p and 1080p. This is achieved from your existing DVD collection, without having to buy new software! The UX-3SE VRDS mechanism and Burr Brown 24 bit D/A converters are included.

CLASS "A" MONAURAL POWER AMPLIFIER MODEL A-80

The A-80 is rated at 200 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 400 watts per channel into 4 ohms.

The new ESOTERIC A-80 monaural power amplifier (Analog, solid state, class A/B), provides high speaker driving ability in a very compact size. Cutting edge circuit design, highly sophisticated architecture and precise machining technology is used, resulting in an amplifier capable of superb musical expression.

The A-80 features a highly-rated (approx. 1k VA), custom design toroidal transformer for its main power supply. The A-80 also includes an R-core sub transformer for further stability. The ultra stable and rapid power supply capability is further enhanced by two large capacitors (33,000 μF / 76 mmf x 100 mm), used in the power output stage.

The highest grade audiophile components were selected for the A-80. Extensive listening tests were conducted for parts selection based on component neutrality and variations in "acoustic texture." High quality Hovland capacitors and Vishey-Dale wire-wound resistors are used for the main circuit. High purity 6N (99.9999%), copper is used for critical internal wiring. The speaker terminals are WBT-0710Cu, the latest version of WBT terminals, incorporating pure copper conductor material for high signal purity and ultra-low terminal resistance. Signal loss is kept to a minimum with the use of these high grade audiophile components.

The world’s first all magnesium diaphragm two way loudspeaker system!
 

>> SPECIFICATIONS BROCHURE <<

Exclusive Esoteric magnesium (Mg) diaphragm technology with
proprietary chemical coating meets elegant British assembly.

Esoteric's new speaker systems incorporate a new technical application of magnesium alloy (96% Mg), combined with a specialized ceramic coating.  The MG-10/MG-20 loudspeakers are manufactured using Esoteric's Mg alloy for both woofers and tweeters (including dust caps).  

This exclusive design features exceptionally high resolution with crystal-clear transparency; free from metallic, carbon fiber, Kevlar® and paper coloration often associated with other driver materials.  This lack of coloration is due to magnesium’s high internal energy dissipation and magnesium’s well known acoustic neutrality.  This technology was developed by Esoteric’s sound engineering department and manufactured jointly with Nippon Kinzoku. Final acoustic tuning, manufacturing and assembly takes place under Esoteric supervision in the UK by world-renowned British speaker manufacturer, TANNOY Ltd.
