ESOTERIC is
proud to introduce evolutionary components for CD/SACD audiophile
playback.
The D-05 DAC supplies extremely natural and “true-to-life” analog
signals to the amplifier by using the latest 32 bit digital to analog
converter devices. The D-05 is the world’s first D/A converter
incorporating the “AK4397” Delta-Sigma DAC device from
AKM Semiconductor, Inc., This device has full 32 bit processing capability.
The “AK4397” was designed combining newly developed high
speed / high capacity digital processing components and improved analog
processing components. This device provides premium quality sound reproduction
on a professional level. The “AK4397” has a superior and
precise D/A conversion capability thanks to its fully extended 32 bit
processing throughout all stages, including digital filter and the “Delta-Sigma,” modulator.
This high performance technology is an evolutionary upgrade path from
conventional 16 or 24 bit D/A converters. The D-05 incorporates dual
mono digital and dual mono analog circuits, with dual mono power supply
components to achieve extremely high resolution and superior channel
separation. This design follows in the footsteps of Esoteric’s
D-03 dual mono D/A converter.
Word clock input and output is included
for use with Esoteric transports or stand alone master clock sync generators.
