Esoteric Grandioso P1X and D1X Models Launch in March
Teac's Esoteric has announced the release of the Esoteric Grandioso P1X and D1X digital source systems, designed for serious audiophiles with big pockets.
The latest type P1X is equipped with a newly developed super audio CD transport mechanism "VRDS-ATLAS". The Monoblock D/A converter of the D1X uses ESOTERIC's new 64-bit DAC circuit. The devices also use the new ES-LINK 5 digital transmission technology and more powerful output buffer amplifier.
ESOTERIC has developed the transmission format called ES-LINK5, which allows DSD 768kHz/48bit PCM ultrawideband (22.5 MHz) digital transmission through the HDMI cables. In addition to ultra-wide bandwidth, ESOTERIC sought high sound quality through its "Pure D/A" concept, in which the D/A converter specializes in its original function of D/A conversion processing.
