Zanden Model 2000 CD Transport

Zanden has taken the hi-fi world by storm! Heralded as the best sounding equipment at the 2006 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, this gear really does need to be heard to be believed.

The future of digital audio is the Zanden 2000 transport. For a lucky few that future is now, and for the first time the full potential of digital audio can finally be realized. Excitement has returned to digital audio. There are 2 key areas where the Zanden transport excels far beyond its rivals. It has been designed to eliminate the effects of noise, which is one of the greatest obstacles to superior digital audio. It, also, features the world's most accurate digital clock in consumer audio, making jitter , phase noise and clock errors a thing of the past. In fact no D/A converter can perform to its full potential without the Zanden transport.

The goal of the 5000 Signature D/A converter was to be the best match for the 2000 Premium CD transport. To that end Zanden designed a separate power supply to isolate the musical signal from electromagnetic interference. Like other Zanden products the power supply is constructed of rectifier tubes to prevent the switching noise of diodes. Also, Zanden utilizes special noise absorption materials throughout the Model 5000 Signature's design. A unique I2S connection ensures no signal loss between the 2000 Premium Transport and 5000 Signature. The result is the world's ideal 16bit digital playback system. Mere words fall short of the beauty conveyed by a sound that is so natural that it must be heard to believe.

Model 3000 Preamp

The model 3000 represents the world's finest pre-amplifier. Its design is simple, elegant and like all Zanden products addresses various technical challenges facing the reproduction of recorded music. In this sense it perfectly complements our other products. It is often said in a complimentary fashion that the component just disappeared and only the music was left. Words that come to mind when describing the model 3000: precise, smooth, solid, built for a lifetime. Sonically, aesthetically the model 3000 is true high-end.

 


Rare is the amplifier that can capture the delicate beauty of Mozart's symphony #40. Still rarer is the amplifier that can capture the explosive dynamics of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring. Rarest of all is the Zanden 9500, an amplifier that can do both. Feel the power...awed by the beauty.

The Model 9500 mono-block amplifiers utilize one of the most linear vacuum tubes available: the 845. The 845 possess the tonality of the 300B and the power of the KT88. The result is 60 watts of pure class A tube power!

With the advent of SACD and DVD-audio, the environment surrounding audio delivery has changed dramatically. High-end audio fans have been asking for this evolution to higher quality source data for a long time. There has also been pent-up demand for major changes in the playback devices needed for these new formats.


Esoteric P-03 and D-03
The Esoteric P-03 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.





Looking for the best performance possible out of a one box SACD/CD player? Check out the amazing Esoteric X01-D2. Incorporating exactly the same VRDX-Ne mechanism as the Esoteric P-03 transport, the X01-D2 employs a newly designed DSD / multi-B.T. processing, dual mode mono D/A converter which brings it closer to the P-03 / D-03 in performance.

Esoteric has introduced the UX-3Pi, a state fo the art universal player aimed at the video / audiophile. The UX-3Pi's advanced 14 bit video processing and custom video output stage enables DVD up-conversion to high definition "HD" output at 480p, 720p and 1080i. This achieved from your existing DVD collection, without having to buy new software! The UX-3SE VRDS mechanism and Burr Brown 24 bit D/A converters are included. In addition, the UX-3Pi adds the following incremental updates to the base feature set of the UX-3SE:
  • HDMI connector (V1.3 compliant).
  • 1080P HDMI terminal (version 1.3 compliant*) The UX-3Pi is equipped with the latest HDMI version 1.3 terminal (Maximum scaling: 1080P). HDMI output: 480i / 480P / 720P/ 1080i/ 1080P.
  • Home theater control functions including RS232C connector.
  • Remote control with illuminated keys for operation in low light or no light environments.

Esoteric is proud to introduce a new audio disc player for CD/SACD player, the SA-10, which enables ownership for a wider audience of audiophiles. Without sacrificing quality, the Esoteric SA-10 provides proprietary technology and premium performance in a new simple design and system implementation.
 
The Esoteric X-01 Limited is a supurb SACD/CD player, with upgraded high purity 6N copper class wire. The X-01 Limited's audio resolution characteristics and “acoustic texture” improves dramatically over the previous X-01. Other improvements include internal connection and higher grade power cables, adopted from the Esoteric P-01/D-01 “flagship” system components.
