ESOTERIC® INTRODUCES NEW "X" SERIES PLAYER FOR SUPER AUDIO CD AND CD PLAYBACK
ESOTERIC has introduced a new CD/SACD disc player in their highly acclaimed "X" series.
The new model X-05 includes Esoteric's new VRDS-Neo/VMK-5 transport mechanism. This new
transport expands the VRDS family and is optimized for high speed rotational requirements
of SACD and CD. The X-05 incorporates a newly developed, high precision aluminum
turntable and a new drive mechanism for disc loading. The development of X-05 technologies
allows VRDS to be utilized by a wider audience of audiophiles!
Disc tray opening, clamping and closing is managed by a proprietary process know as
"differential gearing". This system (Patent pending), enables exceptionally smooth disc
loading through the seamless engagement of the tray and disc clamp gears during the entire
loading sequence. This reduces the number of parts required and adds to system longevity.
The short spindle shaft design implemented in the X-05 contributes to very stable turntable
rotation, reducing vibration and random movements associated with long shaft designs.
The spindle motor incorporates a frequency generation sensor enabling self detection of
rotational speed. Unlike conventional designs, this provides ultra fast motor response and
optimal speed control capability.
The X-05 uses Cirrus Logic's 24-bit/192 kHz processing DAC, model CS4398, in a dual
mono configuration. The analog audio output circuits are engineered in a dual mono
configuration helping to produce superior channel separation. This 2 channel dedicated
circuit design contributes to precise imaging and a deeper sound stage for the X-05.
