Features
The latest VRDS mechanism for Super Audio CD (Specially
developed ball bearings for the optimum VRDS
mechanism.)
Sturdy, rigid chassis with triple-point pinpoint foot
support
The unit is constructed with a 5mm thick robust steel base
plate, and is divided into three logical sections, thereby
reducing interference between components of the unit.
Highly rigid mounts are used for the VDRS disc mechanism.
To eliminate vibration, three solid (tool steel) feet support the
unit and isolate it mechanically.
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.
Unsurpassed features
Full functionality and performance suitable for the latest
Super Audio CD player have been realized.
• A power transformer that incorporates a high-efficiency R-
Core digital transformer and another transformer for analog.
Also, the power circuits are separated for digital and analog
circuits for each.
• The front 2-channel audio board is mounted with the right
channel in one board and the left channel in another board.
• Super Audio CD 5.1 channel sound output is possible.
• i.LINK connection is possible. (Flow rate control compatible.)
To achieve the high-speed rotation with superior stability that
is required of a Super Audio CD player, the X-01 D2 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 building
aircraft.
Audio DACs
In a joint development project with NSK Ltd., we developed
proprietary, highly precise ball bearings for the VRDS
mechanism. Rolling elements made from precisely machined
ceramic balls provide ultra smooth rotation. The application of
a pre-load to the ball bearing pair ensures a high rigidity and
precise rotation not present in conventional bearings but
necessary for handling the wide rotational range from normal
CD to Super Audio CD playback.
The DSD DAC for Super Audio CD playback and the multi-bit
DAC for CD playback are each mounted in the front 2-
channel.
A bi-directional converter circuit, capable of handling both
DSD and PCM data, is also mounted so the user can fully
enjoy the characteristics of both, regardless of the type of
disc.
The conversion of CD PCM data to DSD, or Super Audio CD
DSD data to PCM, allows the best possible playback of the
DAC characteristics of both types of data.
A massive 20mm-thick, SS400 steel bridge supports the
mechanism to control vibrations produced by turntable
rotation.
DSD DAC and multi-bit DAC each employ one pair of +
(positive) Output and - (negative) Output for 1-channel (Total
output: 4), and use addition and subtraction of them to
achieve high capacity D/A conversion.
Coreless motor with neodymium magnets
A newly-developed three-phase brushless spindle motor
provides the fast and accurate turntable rotation required for
Super Audio CD playback. This, and the fixing of the
turntable together with the use of precision ball bearings,
eliminate irregular rotation and vibration.
Research has shown that neodymium is the optimum
magnetic material for this application. Neodymium absorbs
changes to the motor’s electric power supply, and exerts
minimal influence on the audio sections of the unit.
Word synchronization
A master word clock from a high-quality DA converter or
master clock generator can be used for clock synchronization,
resulting in the almost complete elimination of jitter.
Using a high-quality clock signal provided by an external DA
converter such as the Esoteric G-0/G-0s provides optimum
audio quality.
Constant-angle optical pickup mounted on a sled with
feedback-monitored speed control
Shutter isolates the mechanism from external influences
The tray opening and closing mechanism is equipped with a
shutter for greater precision and to eliminate adverse effects
from external sound pressure and vibrations on mechanical
units. When closed, the shutter mechanism is mechanically
secured to the front panel to prevent it from moving.
By mounting the pickup on a sled whose axis is rigid, the
pickup lens is maintained at a constant angle and the laser
beam, and hence the optical axis, is maintained in an accurate
vertical orientation. An Esoteric original three-phase brushless
motor with Hall element detection drives the sled, and the
speed of the sled is monitored and used to control the sled
itself in a servo feedback operation, meaning the sled is highly
responsive and smooth in its operation.
Brushed aluminum finish exemplifies the quality of
construction
The front, side and top panels are constructed of thick
brushed aluminum. The high-quality luxurious finish matches
the overall attention to the finest possible quality, shown in
such details as the illuminated surrounds to the control
buttons and the milled aluminum disc tray.

Before Use
What’s in the box
Placement of the unit
Please confirm that the following accessories are in the box
when you open it.
High-quality hardened tool steel is used for the pin-point feet,
securely attached to the bottom of the player. Although the
cover feet may appear loose, the weight of the unit causes

Speaker distance (Distance)
Speaker levels (SP Level)
This setup is effective in the following case only:
Set the DAC mode to “M.bit” or “1bit”, play Super Audio
CDs, and output sound from the 5.1ch analog output
terminals.
Use this to set the relative levels of the speakers. You can set
the L/R pair together, and the center, and surround rear pair
independently, as well as the subwoofer. The maximum value
you can set here is 0dB and the minimum is –12dB, with
settings made in 0.5dB increments.
This setting has no effect on the i.LINK (AUDIO) terminal.
1. Select “Test Start” and press the ENTER button.
The unit outputs test tone from each channel in turn at the
specified level for each channel.
Ideally, the speakers should be placed so that they are all the
same distance from the listening position. If this is not
possible, you should use this method described here to adjust
them individually. It is also possible to adjust all distances
together. The point of these settings is to provide the best
synchronization between sound and image by delaying the
sound by an appropriate amount. The subwoofer is not
included in this setting (the placement of the subwoofer is
less critical than that of other speakers).
< Adjust the master volume of your amplifier to the normal
listening level.
< Test tone from subwoofer may be nearly inaudible. Check the
level of subwoofer using source material which contains low
frequency sound.
< The unit won’t output test tone when “60958” is selected.
Select “PCM” to use test tone (see page 18).
< The unit won’t output test tone when a Super Audio CD is (or
had been) loaded. In this case, remove the disc, turn the unit
off and on, and try again.
The L/R setting changes the distance of all speakers together.
Pressing the up button adds 0.1m to each value, and pressing
the down button subtracts 0.1m from each value.
Distances are measured in meters (1 meter = just over 3 feet,
and 0.1 meter = about 4 inches).
2. Select a speaker using the up or down cursor buttons.
3. Press the right cursor button.
Carry out this operation first before setting the other speaker
distances.
4. Adjust the levels using the up or down cursor buttons.
After setting the L/R, C and SR/SL speaker distances together,
you can now set the center and surround pair distances. The
minimum distance for these is 0m and the maximum is 9m,
with the additional restrictions described here.
5. When the setting has been finished, press the SETUP
button to exit the setup menu.
< The distance that you set for the center speaker cannot be
greater than the distance set for the L/R pair and must be
within 1.7m of that L/R distance.
So for example, if the distance to the L/R pair is set to 5.0m,
the center distance must be between 3.3m (5 – 1.7) and 5m.
Test tone length (Test tone)
Select the Test Tone menu item, and choose between 2, 5
and 10 seconds. This represents the length of time that the
test tone is output from each speaker when Test Start is
selected.
< The distance that you set for the SR/SL surround pair cannot
be greater than the distance set for the L/R pair (and must be
within 9m of that distance).
So with the L/R pair set at 5m, the SR/SL pair distance can be
set from 0m to 5m.

i.LINK (IEEE 1394)
The i.LINK is also known as IEEE 1394, an international
specification.
This unit is i.LINK (AUDIO) ready.
How to connect multiple i.LINK-capable
devices
By connecting an i.LINK (AUDIO)-capable device to the i.LINK
(AUDIO) terminal on this unit using an i.LINK cable, you can
transmit Super Audio CD multi-channel signals that could not be
transmitted but in analog format in the past can be transmitted
in its original digital format, in addition to the capability of
transmitting 2-ch linear PCM data and multi-channel compressed
audio signals.
Daisy chain connection
You can daisy chain up to 17 devices including this unit.
