Esoteric''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s focus on the SACD / CD record for many years, their exclusive VRDS turntable system, has a prestigious, evolving to SACD in the CD player era, and it is a lot of Hi End Factory to purchase. The K-01 SACD record is the Esoteric Integrated SACD Valley''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s greening machine, the first release in 2010, turned "X" version in 2014, 2018 evolved to the new "XS" version, become K-01XS, Of course, the same time the same time the same teacher K-03X also evolves to K-03XS, and the "XS" version upgrade is the new technology of the flagship series Grandioso, making a larger extension.
High-precision VRDS-NEO in K-01XS [VMK-3.5-20S] Reading agency, a pair of ball bearings support the aluminum alloy turntable, a steel turntable bridge of 20 mm thickness, with a weight of 5.2 kg (including a base 12kg). The transmission structure part, the spindle motor of high magnetic flux density magnets, guessing the discrete amplification circuit of the three-way channel, reducing the influence of vibration, with the shaft swing reading head, can accurately read the disc information.
Other specifications, K-01XS Equipped with two groups of four AK4497 wafers, Double mono design, 16 sets of differential outputs per channel, using high-level processing algorithm,Support 35bit number/ / WithSmall reduction calculation error, reaching linear, low distortion performance;Select high-quality MUSES 02 operational amplifierAnd VCXO Clock Crystal Zhen (Customized),Improve DAC''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s power circuit, Two sets of annular transformers for digital bits / drive turndomers, ratio circuits, provide clean and stable power quality.Compared to the past, complete isolation of digital / class ratio circuits, using the ESOTERIC-HCLD buffer amplification circuit, providing high current output and high rotation (2000V /Μ), simultaneously drive XLR / RCA-based ratio output, largeization instantaneous current;Add "ES-LINK ANALOG" dedicated transmission interfaceThe interface is the XLR specification, which takes full advantage of the high current output of the HCLD, and the impedance of the signal path is affected, only the ESTERIC Society equipment.
It is difficult to identify the change in K-01XS from the appearance, and the upgrade of the core technology is hidden inside the machine. In fact, when Esoteric is designed, the chassis has always been a "copper wall", "steady such as Taishan", this time, although it is changed in the chassis structure On, Grandioso''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s design elements were also added, but the appearance did not change much. However, the internal line change of K-01xs is very big! The first is the power supply section, which is powered by 4 transformer similar to Grandioso. The SACD turntable mechanical structure is the same as Grandioso P1 and K1, which are VRDS-NEO VMK-3.5-20S, digital conversion decoding adopts independent double single channel DAC The line inherits Grandioso D1, which represents the k-01x DAC decoding with left and right channel separation, each of which has 8 digital conversion chips, taking a parallel work, and the average sound linearity and low noise is achieved through the decoding calculation. News. The DAC chip uses new AK4497 with 35 BIT code calculation capabilities, and there is an HCLD buffer level inside, which is an exclusive technology of Esoteric. And the K-01XS built-in USB interface, you can also use the USB decoding DSD with the PCM music file, and DSD supports 22.5MHz, and PCM is 32bit / 768kHz, which has arrived at this stage industry high specifications. In order to enhance the music playback effect of K-01XS and computer connection, the original factory also provides Esoteric HR Audio Player software, allowing you to play these two worlds in the solid SACD and digital archives, and unimpeded.
