The Esoteric N-01XD is ESOTERIC’s flagship network audio player, featuring the ESOTERICs in-house discrete DAC as found in the new K1X CD/SACD player! We have poured more than 30-years’ worth of digital player development know-how into every detail of the N-01XD, incorporating our proprietary “ES-LINK5 & ES-LINK Analog” transmission methods, 64-bit D/A processing and the new VCXO II high precision clock module designed for GRANDIOSO models. Prestigious audio circuitry, highly advanced network audio module and playback applications create a cutting-edge device that is incredibly easy to use, generating an entirely new standard for network playback. ROON Ready, support for TIDAL & QUBUZ, as well as support for MQA on ALL inputs.
