Network Audio


 Access any music
you like and play it back with the finest in sound quality, all without
moving from the comfort of your listening seat - the N-05 makes this
luxurious dream a reality. Enjoy the vivid musical experience of DSD
master sound sources. Convert giant CD collections to a digital library
for quick and easy access. Actively seek out new encounters in music
with TIDAL. Use your home network environment to make your relationship
with music ever closer.

 Besides your home audio components, all you need are a
standard domestic LAN connection (w/ wireless router) and an iPad. A
large-capacity NAS* device can hold your entire music library. With
these few items, a comfortable life of high-quality musical enjoyment
without compromise can soon be yours.






Compatible With a Variety of Audio Sources


 A thorough
infusion of select high-end specifications ensures the N-05 delivers
superb sound quality. Compatible with 2.8/5.6MHz DSD, 192kHz/24-bit PCM
and a host of other formats (DSF, DSDIFF, FLAC, Apple Lossless, WAV,
AIFF, MP3, and AAC),* gapless playback capability is also offered in all
lossless formats, permitting full enjoyment of live or opera recordings
with no interruptions between musical tracks.






Esoteric Sound Stream


 Esoteric Sound
Stream is an Apple iOS application for the iPad* designed with an
emphasis on both sound quality and network playback operating ease. Its
basic operation simply entails selecting musical tracks using the iPad,
creating customized personal playlists, and playing the selections or
playlists. All screens for key operation, playlists, library, etc. are
arranged for easy viewing, enabling even users unfamiliar with the app
to operate it with intuitive ease. Its high degree of refinement even
meets the rigorous demands of advanced and experienced users.

 Key to this achievement is the app's excellent search and
retrieval performance, which takes full advantage of tag information.
Since images are also cached in the app, album artwork can be instantly
scrolled through and libraries can be freely sorted into such
classifications as artist, year of recording, composer or category. This
use of tag information even allows musical numbers of the same name
which differ in format to be easily identified on the screen.








Music Server Function


 The N-05 can also
be used as a simplified music server integrating both player and
library by connecting a large-capacity storage device to the USB port on
its rear panel. With the ability to be used as a secondary music
server, even users new to the NAS directory structure can easily get
started.






ESOTERIC x TIDAL*


 Begin your
encounters with new music through TIDAL, a high-end music streaming
service that has officially partnered with Esoteric. TIDAL's lossless
music distribution service operates on a fixed rate basis. Offering
instant access to its enormous sound library, TIDAL enables users to
enjoy their favorite music online with excellent sound quality.






Dual Mono D/A Converters


 A feature of its
Super Audio CD players, Esoteric's D/A converters and analog circuitry
have won accolades for total sound quality. Employing Asahi Kasei
Microdevices' AK4490 chip set, the converter is configured in four
parallel and differential circuits (8 outputs) driving each channel to
achieve superb sound quality with remarkable linearity and low
distortion. Its discreet dual mono configuration also provides excellent
channel separation.

 Technology developed for the Grandioso C1 is also employed
in the DAC's power supply, which features EDLC* super capacitors. This
regulated power supply boasts a total capacity of 500,000μF per channel
for exceptional low-frequency sound reproduction.






34-Bit D/A Processing


 The N-05 uses a
34-bit D/A processing algorithm to convert the high-resolution 34-bit
PCM signal to analog. This 34-bit encoding resolution is an astounding
1,024 times more detailed than that of 24-bit encoding. In the digital
range, full advantage is also taken of this processor's high-bit data
gradation to minimize calculation errors and provide faithful analog
conversion for outstanding and highly sensitive powers of expression.
