Condition: New Brand: ESOTERIC Type: Network DAC Unit Type: Unit Color: Silver Model: N-01XD SE MPN: N-01XD SE Unit Quantity: 1 Country/Region of Manufacture: Japan Description The flagship network DAC N-01XD now comes in an SE model that offers even higher sound quality. Superior acoustic engineering, huge investments regardless of cost, museum-quality craftsmanship, and beautiful design that is perfect for playing music. As a high-end audio brand from Japan, ESOTERIC has been at the forefront of audio innovation since its founding in 1987 by constantly challenging the limits of high-quality sound playback. The legendary Super Audio CD transport mechanism "VRDS-ATLAS". The "Master Sound Discrete DAC" and "Master Sound Discrete Clock" are made up of unique discrete circuits. Network audio playback technology that provides a realistic analog-like presence thanks to a powerful linear power supply. It is no exaggeration to say that the history of ESOTERIC, which has brought about many of these highly unique technological innovations, is the history of the evolution of digital players in high-end audio. And now, the SE model has been released, centered around new discrete clock technology and an upgrade to the analog section of the DAC. From January 2024, the N-01XD will be replaced by the SE model, and we will begin offering an upgrade service for customers who already use this model. We take pride in our brand and always strive for the best sound. The SE model we are releasing now reflects all of the technological advances we have made since the original model was released. Enjoy even more evolved realism, dynamics, and wonderfully organic, musical tonal textures. ■Digital audio input ○ES-LINK terminal 1 system (L/R) (Input signal format) Linear PCM 44.1k-768kHz, 48bit (ES-LINK5 format) DSD 2.8MHz, 5.6MHz, 11.2MHz, 22.4MHz (ES-LINK5 format) ○XLR terminal 1 system Input level 5.0Vp-p Input impedance 110Ω (Input signal format) Linear PCM 32k-192kHz, 16bit/24bit (AES/EBU format) DSD 2.8MHz (ES-LINK1, ES-LINK2, DoP format) ○Optical digital terminal 1 system Input level –24.0 to –14.5dBm peak (Input signal format) Linear PCM 32k-192kHz, 16bit/24bit (IEC60958 format) DSD 2.8MHz (DoP format) ○USB terminal 1 system (B terminal) (Input signal format) Linear PCM 44.1k-384kHz, 16bit / 24bit / 32bit DSD 2.8MHz, 5.6MHz, 11.2MHz, 22.5MHz ○ETHERNET terminal 1 (1000BASE-T) (Input signal format) Linear PCM 44.1k-384kHz, 16bit / 24bit / 32bit (stereo) • Only integer format files can be played DSD 2.8MHz, 5.6MHz, 11.2MHz, 22.5MHz (stereo) (Supported file formats) PCM lossless FLAC, Apple Lossless (ALAC), WAV, AIFF, MQA DSD lossless DSF, DSDIFF (DFF), DoP Compressed audio MP3, AAC (m4a container) ○USB DRIVE terminal 2 (front, rear) (Supported file systems) FAT32, exFAT, NTFS, single partition, USB2.0 or higher recommended (Maximum supply current) 0.5A (Input signal format) Linear PCM 44.1k-384kHz, 16bit/24bit/32bit (stereo) • 32bit can only play integer format files DSD 2.8MHz, 5.6MHz, 11.2MHz, 22.4MHz (stereo) (Supported file formats) PCM lossless FLAC, Apple Lossless (ALAC), WAV, AIFF, MQA DSD lossless DSF, DSDIFF (DFF), DoP Compressed audio MP3, AAC (m4a container) ■Analog audio output ○XLR/ESL-A terminal 1 system (L/R) Output level 5.0Vrms (1kHz, 10kΩ load) Output impedance 40Ω ○RCA terminal 1 system (L/R) Output level 2.5Vrms (1kHz, 10kΩ load) Output impedance 15Ω ■Clock sync input ○BNC terminal 1 (Input frequency) 10MHz (±10ppm) (Input impedance) 50Ω (Input level) Square wave equivalent to TTL level Sine wave 0.5-1.0Vrms ■Clock sync output ○BNC terminal 1 (Output level) Equivalent to TTL level (75Ω load) (Output frequency) 44.1k / 48kHz (Output frequency accuracy) ±0.5ppm ■General Power supply AC 100V, 50/60Hz Power consumption 38W External dimensions (W×H×D) 445 × 162 × 438mm (including protrusions) Weight 26.3kg Accessories Power cord × 1, remote control (RC-1334) × 1, 2 x AA batteries for remote control, 4 x felt pads, 1 x instruction manual, 1 x user card Manufacturer's warranty: 5 years (after manufacturer registration) Audio characteristics Frequency response: 5Hz to 30kHz (-3dB) S/N ratio: 113dB (IHF-A) Distortion rate: 0.0007% (1kHz) Shipping We will ship the item by FedEx, DHL, UPS, Japan Post (EMS/Airmail) and provide the tracking number.
