Features

The world’s first* mono D/A converter that realizes the full potential of the Super Audio CD format
(* as of August, 2004)
Our approach of “improvement in sound quality through discrete L/R channel transmissions” has evolved into a completely discrete L/R system having two D-01s, one handling the left channel, and the other the right channel.
The left and right audio signal paths have nothing at all for common use, both paths are completely isolated and identical, creating the highest possible reproduction quality, non-compromised sound. This system also proves its ability in reproducing ambience and presence data and recreates details of the performance environment or a feeling of the original recording session.
What’s more, because each channel has its own power supply, the design of this supply can be optimized with ample headroom, achieving an ideal D/A conversion.
• 2 XLR (ES-LINK), 1 RCA, and 2 IEEE 1394 inputs are provided
• DSD signals from Super Audio CD are fed in through XLR terminals in an Esoteric-exclusive format, ES-LINK, or through the IEEE 1394 interface.
• A maximum 192 kHz PCM signal can accepted (both Dual and Stereo transfers available).
• When stereo or multi-channel signals are fed in, only the sound of the channel you set as explained in the section, “Channel Selection”(pages 11 and 13), is selected.
• Three digital filter options are provided: FIR, RDOT, and FIR+RDOT. The filtered signal is converted up to a maximum 768 kHz and then sent to the multi-bit D-A converter PCM1704. The DSD signal from Super Audio CD is converted to 88.2 kHz or 176.4 kHz PCM data before being sent to the digital filter.
• Equipped with RAM-Link (Refined Asynchronous Memory Link), using a high-precision crystal oscillator, that when entering word sync mode, the RAM-Link is automatically activated and acts to eliminate jitter caused before the first stage of the DAC.
• For the D/A converter, a combination of as many as eight PCM1704 multi-bit D-A converters is used for the best possible S-N ratio and linearity, which makes it possible to faithfully replicate the ambience and presence of the performance environment.
• The driver circuitry that sends out D/A converted signals uses a discrete circuit structure operating on ±42 volt rails with emphasis on driving force and slew rate, making a significant contribution to the remarkable sound.
Word Sync enabled - Making Synchronizing with External Equipment Possible
The word sync feature operates either in “OUT” mode (as a word clock generator) or in the “IN” mode that allows this unit to lock to an external word clock. It can lock to 44.1,
88.2, 176.4, 48, 96, 192, 100, 48P, 96P, 192P and 100P (kHz) inputs/outputs. (“P” represents “4% down mode for PAL films”.)
Selecting the “Rb IN” mode will select a PLL circuit devoted solely to synchronizing with a rubidium or other high­precision clock. The use of ESOTERIC’s rubidium master clock generator G-0s, will produce the most remarkable listening experience with a feeling of speed and subtle clarity.
Analog potentiometer allows a direct connection to a power amplifier
With the built-in analog potentiometer (“VOLUME”), concern’s over truncating or dropping bits, as used in digital attenuators, is negated.
Copper wires of 6N purity are used for primary internal wirings, further enhancing sound quality
High purity 6N copper wires are used for the supplied AC power cord and most of the internal wirings that may have effect on the sound quality, thereby boosting the purity and resolution for a crisp, textured sound. For the insulating sheath, polyorefin, non-PVC material, is used out of environmental considerations as well as sound quality. PVC is not used for any wiring inside the unit. The high purity 6N copper cable is developed with the help of Acro Japan Ltd. as is the case with the Esoteric “MEXCEL” interconnection cable and high purity 8N copper cable.
Highly rigid chassis is immune to internal and external vibrations that might degrade sound quality
Thick aluminum is used on the top, side, bottom panels and rounded corners in addition to the front panel. The entire body is supported by Esoteric-exclusive pinpoint feet (patent pending) made of case-hardened tool steel. Exacting attention is given to the highly precise mounting of all mechanical parts, the rigidity of the housing, and the elimination of sympathetic vibrations. To make double sure, an 8-mm thick plate is used for the upper cover that is subject to the sound pressure and vibrations from the speakers.
The front and side panels, constructed of thick brushed aluminum, and the rounded four corners create a feeling of dignity and gravitas, fitting only to the top level mono D/A converter for Super Audio CD/CD.

i.LINK (IEEE 1394)

The i.LINK format, also known as IEEE 1394, is an international specification for the transferring of extremely fast data. This unit is ready for i.LINK (AUDIO). By connecting an i.LINK (AUDIO)-capable device to the IEEE 1394 (or i.LINK AUDIO) terminal on this unit using an i.LINK cable, you can transmit Super Audio CD multi-channel signals that could not be transmitted except in analog format in the past. With i.LINK AUDIO, Super Audio CD can be transmitted in its original digital format, in addition to the capability of transmitting 2-ch linear PCM data and multi-channel compressed audio signals.
If you have multiple i.LINK-capable devices, you can connect them through other devices to transmit data between them. With i.LINK, you don’t need to be concerned about the order of connection and wiring errors and phase issues are virtually eliminated.
Copyright protection system DTCP
To play back audio sounds recorded on Super Audio CD or DVD discs using i.LINK, both the player and the D/A converter need to be ready for the copyright protection system DTCP (Digital Transmission Content Protection). The D-01 already accepts DTCP.
Data transfer rate
There are three transfer rates: 100 Mbps (S100), 200 Mbps (S200), and 400 Mbps (S400). This unit is capable of transferring data at a maximum 400Mbps.
For connection to an i.LINK-capable device, use a commercially available S400-compliant 6-pin i.LINK cable.
When connecting multiple i.LINK-capable devices, avoid connecting a device having slow transfer rate between devices having high transfer rate since this reduces the transfer rate of your whole system. Connect devices having high transfer rate towards the source as far upstream as possible.
NOTES
<
Among the i.LINK formats there are “MPEG-2 TS” for BS digital source and “DV” for digital video for DVD recorders, as well as the “i.LINK (AUDIO)” (A&M Protocol). Never connect devices that are not ready for i.LINK (AUDIO) to this unit. If you do, this unit and others may get out of order or be damaged.
<
In the process of data transfer, avoid plugging or unplugging the i.LINK cables while in use or switch the power on and off.
< Among the i.LINK-capable devices there are some that, if not
turned on, are not capable of relaying data.
< There is a possibility some i.LINK-capable devices will not
respond to this unit’s command.
How to connect multiple i.LINK-capable devices
Daisy chain connection
You can daisy-chain up to 17 devices including this unit.
Connection in tree structure
If you are using a device having three or more i.LINK connectors, you may want to get the connection branched out. This way of connection allows you to connect up to 17 devices including this unit.
Your system does not work if data is fed back to the output device. Be careful not to create a loop.

CBA D FE
Display
The equipment draws nominal non-operating power from the AC outlet with its POWER switch in the OFF position.
WORD
Use this button to switch between word sync modes. A mode indicator lights up to show the current mode (blue indicators showing normal modes, and a purple indicator showing the 4% down mode). The indicator blinks when no usable word sync signal is detected. No indicator lights when word sync is not being used.
OUT
Lets the unit internally generate and send out Word Clock so the unit acts as a master.
IN
This mode provides a stable sync operation with most general external clocks. There are occasions when sync is not achieved depending on the output accuracy of the devices in use. This is because the word clock input frequency range of this unit is set to as narrow as ±15ppm, a requirement in order to achieve a sync of high accuracy.
Rb IN
This is a mode designed for external clocks of a higher degree of precision like a rubidium clock generator. Select this mode when this unit is connected to the ESOTERIC G-0s. Keep in mind that it will take time before the sync is achieved in this mode. This mode requires an even narrow bandwidth of accuracy to lock. Switch the mode to IN when “WRD UNLOCK” or “WRD ERROR!” is shown.
Off (tuned off)
The unit does not use any word sync.
B
4% down mode
Pressing and holding this button for more than 3 seconds switches the unit back and forth between 4% down and normal modes.
<
Selecting IN or Rb IN modes achieves sync by using an external clock as master. When in those modes, the word clock fed into the WORD SYNC IN terminal is directly sent out through the WORD SYNC OUT terminal.
<
This unit readily accepts a maximum 196 kHz clock and automatically switches itself to the incoming signal.
< When selecting IN or Rb IN modes, the corresponding
indicator blinks and searches for an external clock. When the unit detects a clock and locks to it, the indicator lights steadily (blue) to show that the unit is ready for play.
<
Make connections to the WORD SYNC terminals prior to powering on the unit.

IEEE 1394 remote control function (1394RC)
When multiple D-01 units are directly connected using IEEE 1394 cables and you have this function on, the functions of all D-01’s in the chain can be controlled using only the left channel D-01. The P-01 source should be the first machine in the IEEE 1394 chain followed by all the D-01’s. (Do not connect the P-01 between the D-01 units.)
The linking of the control functions among the D-01s is available as long as IEEE 1394 cables are used to connect the D-01 units. You can use a different input type other than IEEE 1394 if you chose. If you do use a different input type, by also connecting the D-01s with IEEE 1394 cables you can control all D-01s with only one unit as long as this function is switched on.
With this remote control function switched off, the IEEE 1394 circuit is powered only when the input is set to IEEE 1394.
Dimmer
The display and indicators can be dimmed to suit the environment in which you listen to music. There are three levels and an “off” setting.
<
In OFF mode, when you press any button, the illuminations turn temporarily on.
< Note that the OFF setting is not memorized when the power
is turned off. When the unit is switched off with the display off, and then turned on again, the display is reset to the minimum brightness (Dimmer1).
<
The factory setting is “Dimmer3”.

Troubleshooting

If you experience any problems with this unit, please take the time to look through this chart. You may be able to solve the problem yourself before calling your dealer or technical support.
No power
e
Check the connection to the AC power source. Check and make sure the AC source is not a switched outlet and that, if it is, the switch is turned on. Make sure there is power to the AC outlet by plugging in another item such as a lamp or fan.
No sound from speakers.
e
Check the connection to the digital device, amplifier and speakers.
e
If the volume bypass is off, adjust the output level using the OUTPUT buttons.
The INPUT indicator blinks.
e
Turn on the digital device connected to the input terminal.
e
Check the connection to the digital device. Make sure the source digital device and the input selection on the D-01 are the same type.
The safety circuit of the power amplifier is activated. High-frequency noise from speakers.
e
Set 80kLPF to ON.
Buzzing noise produced at regular intervals.
e
The connected unit may not be in word sync mode while the D-01 is in word sync mode. Check the word sync terminal for correct connection and the settings on the connected unit. Normally, if this problem occurs, the display reads “WRD ERROR”, but this message does not appear when deviation in sync is too small and out of the word error detection threshold of the D-01.
The WORD indicator blinks. The display shows “No Word!”
e
The word sync mode is selected, but there is no clock source. Turn the word sync mode off (see page 9).
e
Invalid word clock is being received. Check cables, connections, and settings of the clock generator.
The display shows “WRD ERROR!”
e
Invalid word sync signal is received. Check the setting of the clock generator.
The display shows “WRD UNLCK!”
e
Cannot lock the word sync signal. If “Rb IN” is selected, select “IN” using the WORD button.
If normal operation cannot be recovered, unplug the power cord from the outlet and plug it in again. This resets the internal micro-computer which can be disturbed during electrical storms, power interruptions, et cetera.
ES-LINK
appears when the ES-LINK compatible Esoteric product is connected.
No Word!
There is no clock source.
UNKNOWN
The unit connected via the IEEE1394 cable is unknown.
WRD ERROR!
Invalid word sync signal is received.
WRD UNLCK!
Cannot lock the word sync signal.
LOOP ERR!
IEEE1394 connection is looped.
< Normally, “the sampling frequency of an incoming digital
signal” when a CD is played back or “DSD” when an Super Audio CD is played back are shown on the left of the display. At the right shows the output level.
<
No output level shows when VOLUME BYPASS is switched on.
<
When detecting a device that is connected with IEEE 1394 cable, the display shows its model name (such as P-01).
