Description:

Esoteric SA-50 CD player offers a host of features
and capabilities unimaginable to the original designers of the CD format. Not
just a CD player, the SA-50 will spin SACDs, decode other digital sources
(including a music-server’s output via USB), switch between digital sources,
and drive a power amplifier directly. If you have no analog sources in your
system, the SA-50 obviates the need for a preamplifier. This architecture not
only saves money, but provides better sound quality. After all, the best
preamplifier is no preamplifier.

Moreover, the SA-50 is packed with
sophisticated technology. The unit offers a wide range of user-selectable
upsampling options, a two-stage PLL re-clocking circuit to reduce jitter from
external sources, a dual-mono implementation of a new 32-bit DAC, a clock
input, and a new minimum-phase digital filter (selectable) that doesn’t
introduce pre-ringing (a type of time-domain distortion).
