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.

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.

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
