Esoteric UX-3-SE Brochure

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”

connectors for higher quality signal transmission.

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.

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.
