Features:
VOSP Mechanism
VOSP (Vertically-aligned Optical Stability Platform), features a specially designed shaft-mounted laser pickup assembly. This pickup system is also used by ESOTERIC in the P-01 and the P-03 transports. This pickup design ensures that the laser optical axis is always at the center of the data track for optimal reading capability. With VOSP implementation, no off axis error correction is needed because no off axis data tracking is allowed.

2 channel dedicated analog audio output / Precise imaging and deeper sound stage
The D/A converter incorporate Cirrus Logic's 24-bit/192kHz processing DAC device, model CS4398 in a dual mono configuration. The analog audio output circuits are also in a dual mono configuration producing exceptionally good channel separation. This 2 channel dedicated circuit design contributes to precise imaging and a deeper sound stage for the SA-10.

Rich and high speed power supply capability
The large toroidal transformer has a highly efficient power supply capability. This provides electric power to the drive mechanism and audio circuits very quickly, without adding noise or distortion to the internal circuitry.

Word synchronization
The SA-10 features a WORD SYNC input terminal to accept an incoming external WORD clock signal. The input can operate with 44.1/88.2/176.4 kHz clock signals. The unit can also operate using an ESOTERIC original 100kHz Universal Clock signal. The incoming ultra-stable clock signal produced by external components such as the AI-10 or a master clock generator effectively upgrades the unit, delivering even better performance with greater definition, transparency and imaging.

High rigid chassis construction made with thick aluminum plates
The front panel is made from thick extruded aluminum, top panel (T 5mm), and side panels (T 4mm), are also made from aluminum. This highly rigid chassis construction reduces vibrations and resonance. Screws hidden from exterior view, torqued to specific tolerance, help to further reduce vibration and compliment the SA-10 high end cosmetic.

Highly stable center mounted drive mechanism
The disc drive mechanism is mounted in the center of the chassis and the chassis is supported by three metal feet to create an optimally stable platform.

Slim remote control with illumination keys
Aluminum body remote control fits comfortably in your hands with moderate weight. Keys are illuminated for low light or no light conditions.
