ESOTERIC GRANDIOSO P1/D1 SACD TRANSPORT + DUO MONO DAC

Selling this used mint condition Esoteric P1 D1 , with original boxes ,manual and remote.

Comparing the Esoteric Grandioso P1 and D1 to a flavor-of-the-month digital component is like stepping into a Porsche 918 Spyder and realizing that, no matter how good the Porsche 911 may be, it doesn’t provide the unearthly 0-to-60-in-2.2-seconds experience that the statement model does.This is one combo that will send you to cloud nine.

ESOTERIC is justifiably proud of this VRDS-NEO transport mechanism. Remarkable improvements in readout accuracy have been achieved by utilizing a high-precision turntable and correcting the disc surface shake occurring during disc rotation.

The P1 features the VMK-3.5-20S VRDS-NEO with a refined drive circuit design. A pair of selected ball bearings is used in the spindle shaft bearing assembly, and there is a micron-level accuracy duralumin turntable with a 20 mm-thick steel turntable bridge for a total mass of 5.2 kg.

In addition, the highly trusted mechanism of the P1 has been further refined with a high-magnetic-flux-density magnet-driven coreless three-phase brushless spindle motor, thread feed control (which evolved from the concept of the premier P-0 series), and a sliding-shaft-structure pickup that ensures that the laser beam is always at a right angle to the disc.

Outstanding sound quality with 36-bit processing resolution.

The D1 follows the monaural configuration of the D-01, which we introduced in 2004 as the world's first monaural D/A converter. The D-01 was developed with the goal of attaining the highest level of channel separation and the ideal power supply to each channel. In the new D1, we have introduced the latest technology and further enhanced the design. The right and left channels can now be link-connected with a single HDMI cable (provided), and easy input from external source devices is possible.

With the D1, you can enjoy a world of incredible stereo with the rich stereo image and sonic depth that is only possible with a monaural configuration.
