The Features






USB Support for 2.5/5.6 MHz DSD, 384 kHz/32-bit PCM, and Asynchronous Transmission


 The USB input
supports asynchronous transmission and rates up to 2.8/5.6 MHz DSD and
384 kHz/32-bit PCM. Esoteric’s original PC driver software achieves
outstanding playback of even studio-master-quality source files. DoP and
ASIO 2.1 are also supported.








VRDS-NEO “VMK-3.5-20S” transport mechanism


 The culmination
of Esoteric’s most advanced mechatronics know-how, the VRDS system
radically improves the reading precision of Super Audio CD/CD discs by
mechanically correcting for surface run-out. The K-01X’s VRDS -NEO
VMK-3.5-20S drive also features two sets of specially selected ball
bearings supporting a duralumin turntable constructed to micron-level
accuracy, and a 20mm-thick steel turntable bridge. The combined
mechanical structure weighs an impressive 5.2kg (12kg including the
rigid base).

The drive employs proven Esoteric technologies, including a
high-flux-density magnet-driven coreless three-phase brushless spindle
motor, a thread feed control derived from the thinking behind the P-0,
and a shaft-sliding pickup which consistently illuminates the disk with a
precisely perpendicular beam of laser light. Additionally, the disc
tray features a silent shutter mechanism* that further ensures the
ultimate in operating precision.

* This mechanism closes the shutter when the tray is
retracted, then mechanically locks it into place in the front panel to
ensure a more secure environment that minimizes the effects of
extraneous noise and airborne contaminants, etc. on sound quality.









VS-DD* Spindle Servo Driver and Proprietary Toroidal Power Supply.


 At the heart of the VRDS-NEO drive is a spindle driven by
Esoteric’s proprietary VS-DD servo driver circuit. This uses a discrete
three-channel amplifier to optimize the motor drive current, minimize
vibration and provide ultra-smooth spindle operation and high-accuracy
servo control. The K-01X is also equipped with a proprietary toroidal
power supply that greatly enhances noise isolation.

* VS-DD = VRDS Spindle Discrete Driver




Grandioso D1 Lineage Dual Mono D/A Converters with Separate Left and Right Channel Power Supplies.


 The D/A converter
uses the same design philosophy as our Grandioso D1. Incorporating
Asahi Kasei Microdevices Corporation’ s 32-bit AK4495S DAC IC and MUSES
02 operational amplifier,* this exceptional DAC uses 8
parallel/differential circuits with 16 outputs driving each channel to
achieve outstanding linearity and low distortion.

Like the Grandioso D1, this D/A converter also features
fully independent power transformers and power supply circuits for each
channel to create a true dual mono configuration. The generous power
supply capacity and total channel separation enabled by this arrangement
provides excellent dynamics, with realistic stereo imaging and
exceptional resolution of fine detail.
