VRDS-ATLAS transport • Master Sound Discrete DAC • 22.5MHz DSD & 768kHz PCM capability
The Esoteric K-01XD SE SACD/CD Player combines Esoteric’s flagship VRDS-ATLAS disc transport with the brand’s proprietary Master Sound Discrete DAC architecture for uncompromising digital playback. The SE edition refines the analog output stage and power supply sections to deliver greater dimensionality, tonal density, and low-level nuance while preserving the explosive dynamics and timing precision that define the K-series.
Designed as both a reference SACD/CD player and a high-performance standalone DAC, the Esoteric K-01XD SE SACD/CD Player is engineered for systems where resolution, realism, and scale matter most.
For listeners seeking a definitive one-box digital source, the Esoteric K-01XD SE SACD/CD Player is built to anchor a no-compromise two-channel system.
VRDS-ATLAS mechanism — a rigid, low-vibration transport assembly designed to stabilize disc rotation and reduce mechanical noise.
Master Sound Discrete DAC — Esoteric’s proprietary discrete ladder-style architecture with dedicated FPGA signal processing for enhanced clarity and scale.
SE refinements — upgraded component selection and optimized circuit topology improve signal purity and spatial presentation.
Balanced architecture — true balanced output stages maintain low noise and strong channel separation.
Yes. Digital inputs (USB-B, coaxial, optical) allow the player to function as a standalone DAC for streamers, computers, and other digital transports.
Yes. A 10MHz clock input is provided for pairing with compatible external clock generators to maximize timing precision.
The unit supports Super Audio CD and standard CD formats, including CD-R and CD-RW.
