This design follows in the footsteps of Esoteric’s D-03 dual mono D/A converter. The D-05 incorporates dual mono digital and dual mono analog circuits, with dual mono power supply components to achieve extremely high resolution and superior channel separation.
#ESOTERIC WORD CLOCK UPGRADE#
This high performance technology is an evolutionary upgrade path from conventional 16 or 24 bit D/A converters.
#ESOTERIC WORD CLOCK 32 BIT#
The “AK4397” has a superior and precise D/A conversion capability thanks to its fully extended 32 bit processing throughout all stages, including digital filter and the “Delta-Sigma,” modulator. This device provides premium quality sound reproduction on a professional level. The “AK4397” was designed combining newly developed high speed / high capacity digital processing components and improved analog processing components. The D-05 is the world’s first D/A converter incorporating the “AK4397” Delta-Sigma DAC device from AKM Semiconductor, Inc., This device has full 32 bit processing capability. The companion P-05 CD/SACD transport, the D-05 DAC supplies extremely natural and “true-to-life” analog signals to the amplifier by using the latest 32 bit digital to analog converter devices. Output level control from the optional D-05 front panel and from the P-05 remote control (requires D-05). Native DSD mode for SACD playback (with D-05 DAC). PCM to DSD conversion function (with D-05 DAC).
PCM digital audio up-conversion function (with D-05 DAC). Optical tracking and data retrieval is processed by the same pick-up assembly as in the Esoteric model P-03 audio transport. Word clock input is included for synchronization with the matching D-05, D/A audio converter or with any of Esoteric’s stand alone master clock generators. This design eliminates off axis tracking and off axis error correction. In combination with this turntable system, the VOSP mechanism provides extremely accurate data retrieval by positioning the laser optical axis at the very center of the data track.
This extra light turntable design also ensures optimal performance as required for high speed disc rotation. This new turntable is precisely machined from solid aluminum helping to minimize rotational inertia. The turntable securely clamps the disc and effectively reduces unwanted swing or vibration of the disc.
