Esoteric P-03 SACD/CD Transport & D-03 D/A Converter (DAC)

General:The latest VRDS mechanism for Super Audio CD(Specially developed ball bearings for the optimum VRDS mechanism.)The VRDS mechanism securely clamps the disc to the turntable whose diameter is exactly the same as that of the disc. This system completely eliminates vibration inherent to removable media and unwanted vibrations generated by the mechanical systems. Also, this mechanism clamps the disc at a slight inclination so as to compensate for warping or deformation improving the accuracy of the optical axes of both the laser pickup and the pit surface of the disc. This is effective in reducing errors in reading the disc data as well as in preventing timing errors from erratic data acquisition timing.To achieve the high-speed rotation with superior stability that is required of a Super Audio CD player, the P-03 is equipped with a duralumin turntable. A specially developed processing technology was used to enable high-precision forming of this lightweight material normally used in
