ESOTERIC is proud to introduce evolutionary components for CD/SACD audiophile
playback, incorporating a completely new VRDS-NEO mechanism (and using new 32
bit D/A converter technology in the companion DAC model D-05) The VRDS-NEO mechanism in the P-05 is a high performance CD/SACD transport solution for the next generation of audiophiles! The P-05 builds upon the success of Esoteric's model P-70 This newly developed VRDS-NEO model VMK-5, (New-Vibration free Rigid Disc clamping System), combines two ESOTERIC proprietary technologies; the turntable disc clamping system and the unique VOSP (Vertically aligned Optical Stability Platform) The turntable securely clamps the disc and effectively reduces unwanted swing or vibration of the disc This new turntable is precisely machined from solid aluminum helping to minimize rotational inertia This extra light turntable design also ensures optimal performance as required for high speed disc rotation In combination with this turntable system, the VOSP mechanism provides extremely accurate data retrieval by positioning the laser optical axis at the very center of the data track This design eliminates off axis tracking and off axis error correction Word clock input is included for synchronization with the matching D-05, D/A audio converter or with any of Esoteric's stand alone master clock generators Optical tracking and data retrieval is processed by the same pick-up assembly as in the Esoteric model P-03 audio transport The P-05 transport works with both CD and SACD software |

Reproduces highly detailed performances surrounded by extreme transparency
Advanced technology combines the highly acclaimed Esoteric "Flagship" series
design concepts of the P-01/D-01 system, and applies new DSD signal processing
at a more affordable price point As a result, the P-03/D-03 combination meets
all the challenges of capturing spoken or musical potential of CD and SACD
software A newly advanced VRDS-NEO mechanism has been developed and is supported by a highly rigid body construction The P-03/D-03 CD/SACD transport system is extremely versatile, featuring multiple user selectable playback modes These include CD audio (Redbook) playback, native DSD decoding, PCM up-conversion and Esoteric's advanced PCM to DSD signal conversion An integrated one-piece body style contains separate power supply and transport compartments within a "dual chassis" design The integrated chassis construction is based on the same design concepts of the "Flagship" Model P-01 Digital signal transfer of DSD signals is now offered with an iLINK interface, in addition to ESOTERIC's proprietary ES-LINK format |

Model P-03 Universal is a SACD/CD/DVD audio/DVD video disc transport The
"P03UNI" provides 14 bit processing and HD video resolution up to
720p/1080i/1080p (from conventional DVD's) Recently reviewed as having video consistent with "Reference quality," the P-03UNI is the high end of ESOTERIC'S video playback devices Highly acclaimed VRDS-NEO mechanism (Newly developed vibration free, rigid disc clamping system), AC power drive components, chassis construction, and cosmetics the P-03UNI shares most of its basic design features with the P-03 The new P-03UNI integrates proven, high quality video processing technology with enhancements by ESOTERIC, providing high definition (HD), video resolution from your existing DVD collection Unlike other players using 10 bit or 12 bit video processing, the P-03UNI is equipped with the latest 14 bit / 216 MHz video D / A converter from Analog Devices, and the newest video scaling chipset from Anchor Bay Technologies plus ESOTERIC's custom video output stage This provides for DVD video up-conversion capability as high as 1080p (progressive scan) In addition to conventional playback, the P-03UNI (When used with the companion D-03 DAC), features PCM to DSD signal conversion and native DSD mode for Super Audio CD Users may select suitable digital conversion options based on personal preference relative to the type of source material used or the category of software selected |

Considered by many to be the finest audio transport in the world, this is
ESOTERIC'S flagship SACD/CD transport, equipped with ESOTERIC's most advanced
VRDS-NEO mechanism Rigidity and vibration-resistant ability has been improved
by the use of a half inch-thick, solid shaved-aluminum mechanism base plate The
motor of the tray open/close mechanism is the same type as that used for the
pick-up motor, a three-phase brush-less speed-controlled neodymium motor The
smooth, elegant opening and closing motion is reflective of the superb quality
of this reference grade transport Ultra-high-rigid body construction isolates the unit from internal and external vibrations The main chassis consists of a 10mm-thick/10 lb steel bottom frame that provides a rigid, stable base for the player greatly improving data acquisition accuracy Thick aluminum is used on the top, side and front panels to further block vibration The chassis is supported by four pinpoint feet (patent pending) that allow the unit to be mechanically isolated from its environment The front panel, with its highly elegant brushed finish, curved corner design and other features, contribute to the sense of quality found only in the world's finest SACD/CD transport Superior quality internal wiring / DC power cable Esoteric selected 6N pure copper conductors for all internal wiring as well as the AC cord and DC cables that connect the power supply to the main unit This superior cabling achieves higher resolution and improved sound texture The 6N cable outer jacket is Polyolefin PVC free material None of the other wire jacketing contains PVCs to protect against environmental pollution The World's finest separate digital source system: Separate power supply unit, utilizing an isolation theory inherited from the P-01 The power supply unit is separate from the main unit in order to provide very high-performance supply voltages while completely isolating the player from the power conversion process This power supply unit consists of three transformers: one for the mechanism motors, another for the signal processor/up-converter, and a third for digital processing (ie clock circuit) Transformers for the mechanism motors and the digital processor are extremely efficient WB type transformers * Esoteric model P01VU adds optional and incremental upgrades based on evolving technology that includes a change from 6N copper (999999% signal purity), to 8N copper (99999999 signal purity) 8N copper is then used as a replacement for all critical internal wiring [Please note that the P01 system has been rated "World's Best" long before any upgrade path was developed] The use of 8N copper is extremely rare and contains less than 01 ppm (parts per million) of metallic impurities This provides incremental improvement of resolution, soundstage, depth and texture With the P01VU upgrade the power supply circuit dedicated to mechanical operation is updated with a higher grade of components, and additional capacitors are used to further improve dynamics The digital signal processor ("DSP") is also enhanced through improved customization Current owners of the P-01 may have their units optionally and incrementally upgraded to VU status (Chargeable) To insure Esoteric factory expertise, this upgrade can only be done in Japan New product can be ordered in P-01 or P-01VU configurations |
