The “X-03 Special Edition” and “UX-3 Special
Edition” have evolved from Esoteric’s X-03 and
UX-3. These 2 models represent the latest genera-
tion of the “3” series line-up and incorporate
enhancements found in Esoteric’s agship series,
the “P-01/D-01” separate component system.
Audio output terminals (L/R) and digital audio
output terminals are upgraded to WBT “nextgen”
Main internal wiring has evolved to 6N copper
class, providing a more natural audio signal path.
Furthermore, these models feature X-01 / UX-1
style thick aluminum side and top panels providing
a more rigid and attractive cabinet..
An exquisitely engraved “ESOTERIC” logo and the
“Special Edition” gold emblems are found on the
top panel indicating these enhancements.
Enhanced technology from Esoteric has now
allowed us to the present to you the UX-3 SE and
the X-03 SE.

UX-3 Special Edition
Main internal wiring has been upgraded to
“6N copper class,” providing a highly accurate
signal path for enhanced audio reproduction!
By upgrading to high purity 6N copper class wire, X-03 audio resolution characteristics and “acoustic texturing” improves. This wiring was jointly developed with Mitsubishi Cable Industries, Ltd. and Acro Japan Ltd. Other improvements include internal connections and power cables, adopted from the Esoteric P-01/D-01 “agship” system.
Upgraded audio output circuits inuence & improve performance of the D to A signal converter.
Through the use of upgraded capacitors and resistors, like those used in the P-01/D-01 system design, Esoteric has enhanced both DAC and analog output stage audio performance.
Content of Improvements
This provides superior ambience and “presence,” creating more of an “open air” listening experience. These improvements allow a more “natural impact,” and perceived depth of eld is improved.
Audio output terminals (L/R) and digital audio output terminals are upgraded to RCA "nextgen" terminal connectors, as provided by Germany’s WBT Company.
These terminal upgrades to model “WBT-0 RCA’s next generation connectors, provide higher performance for both audio output applications. Typically, lower grade connector plates touch a “cold side.” Electrically this is assumed to be an open structure by contact

at that point. The RCA “nextogen” connectors eliminate adverse eects generated by an open structure and noise such as eddy current is greatly reduced or eliminated. Additionally, digital transmission in combination with a new high-level, digital cable, one that guarantees 75 Ω impedance is now utilized. This allows better control of signal attenuation due impedance uctuation. This adds additional sonic improvement noticeable within a listening environment.
Thick aluminum side / top panels
These two special edition models feature X-01 / UX-1 style thick aluminum side / top panels. An
“ESOTERIC” logo is exquisitely engraved on the top
panel and the “ Special Edition” gold emblem on the top panel indicates that these two models are truly a special evolution from the X-03 and UX-3.
