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.
