New Product Information
X-01 “Limited Edition” SACD/CD audio player
System enhancements to the Esoteric® X-01 have evolved into the “X-01 Limited”
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, the X-01’s audio
resolution characteristics and “acoustic texture” improves. This wiring
was jointly developed with Mitsubishi Cable Industries, Ltd. and Acro
Japan Ltd. Other improvements include internal connection and
higher grade power cables, adopted from the Esoteric P-01/D-01
“flagship” system components.
Upgraded audio output circuits influence and 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, Esoteric
has enhanced the DAC and analog output stage for audio performance. This provides superior ambience
and “presence,” creating more of an “open air” listening experience. These improvements allow a more
“natural impact” and audible depth of field perception is also improved. This architecture evolved from the
P-01/D-01 “Flagship.” system.
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-0210Cu,” RCA’s next
generation connectors, provide higher performance for 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 single point. The RCA “NextGen
WBT” connectors eliminate adverse effects generated by an
open structure, and noise such as eddy current is greatly
reduced or even eliminated. Additionally, digital transmission,
in combination with a new high-level, digital cable, one that
guarantees 75Ω impedance is now utilized. This allows
better control of signal attenuation due impedance fluctuation.
This adds additional sonic improvements noticeable within a
listening environment.
