  • “Master Sound Discrete DAC” – In-house developed ladder DAC with unique FPGA, 64bit/512Fs Delta-Sigma modulator

  • Up-graded DAC board with specially selected premium grade parts including IDM-01

  • Super high slew-rate, “Esoteric-HCLD” high current line driver (2,000V/μs)

  • “ES-Link Analog” current signal transmission output

  • “Master Sound Discrete Clock for Digital Player” – in-house developed discrete clock module

  • Clock sync function

  • Four independent toroidal power supply transformers (incl. two for left and right DACs)

  • Low-feedback discrete DC regulators

  • 71 × EDLC* super capacitors (total capacitance: 1,850,000μF＝1.85F)

  • Up-sampling function (x2/x4/x8/x16, max. 768kHz), PCM to DSD (22.5MHz) convert function

  • USB Type-B port supporting 22.5MHz DSD and asynchronous transmission

  • RC-1333 double-face remote controller that can also control Esoteric amplifiers.

* EDLC (Electric Double-Layer Capacitor): A special capacitor with tremendous large capacitance compared to conventional electrolytic capacitors for audio equipment. A special capacitor that boasts an astonishingly large capacitance compared to ordinary audio electrolytic capacitors.
