Esoteric Grandioso P1X SACD Transport
£32,999
RRP £48,600
The Esoteric Grandioso P1X sits at the very top of the Esoteric range. It is the ultimate 2-box CD transport. The two large chassis allow a true dual mono construction.
The Esoteric Grandioso P1X is split into two large boxes. One is the power supply and the other is the transport itself. The power supply weighs 24kg and contains no fewer than 4 toroidal power transformers. The power supply contains two completely independent channels which then connect to the transport via two large umbilical cables on the output. Using multiple separate linear power supplies for each section gives this unit superb audio performance. Each transformer is mounted on a vibration-isolating mount.
The main head unit weighs a further 29kg The P1X utilises the top VRDS Atlas CD mechanism available, a true Rolls Royce of CD mechanisms. Digital Audio output circuits are carefully shielded within their own screened enclosures. Left and right channels use their own separate circuit boards. The P1X so benefits from a dedicated pair of current ES Link connections which give much improved performance over standard voltage-driven connections. These take the digital output from the P1X to the D1X dual mono DAC. The system can also be connected to the Grandioso G1X master clock generator for a state-of-the-art 5-box CD replay system. reference
