in Electronics

The X-01D2 is the top end of the highly acclaimed "X" series which includes the "X-01 and X-01 Limited" audio players and the "UX-1 Limited" audio/video player. The newly designed X-01D2 was developed for the audiophile whose passion includes SACD and DSD playback modes. The D2 includes a refined version of the VRDS-NEO (Vibration free rigid disc clamping system), and the disc tracking sled assembly from Esoteric’s P-03 disc transport. The multi-bit D/A converter includes a dual differential implementation for complete left and right channel separation. As in the X-01 and X-01 Limited, four DACs per channel are used (Burr-Brown 1704 x 8), and each set of four is configured on separate left and right circuit boards. In addition to multi-bit D/A technology, the D2 version includes native direct stream digital (DSD) decoding using 1 bit signal processing converter chips (Analog Devices AD1955), and allows optional PCM to DSD signal conversion capability.
