Esoteric audio is a spinoff company of the Japanese owned TEAC Corporation. The Esoteric corporate headquarters and manufacturing facility began in the United States in 1987. Esoteric engineers made the best value cables in the world. The President of Esoteric Audio wrote a letter to the editors of Stereophile magazine in the late eighties/early 90s ripping them for promoting high end, overpriced audio cables. He explained what many people always suspected; audio cables can only improve performance to a finite degree and expensive cables were a money grab. He claimed the most any cable should cost is fifty bucks. I do remember at that time they were the only remaining American cable manufacturer and I became a happy customer. Today Esoteric no longer manufactures cable but they do manufacture high end audio gear. This listing is for 5 3 first generation Musica cables from 1990 with no numeric identifying model number like later models. Later Musica cables have numbers (100/200 etc) signifying different quality levels, but the first generation Musica cables were just one high end product They are 18 gauge double shielded with multiple stranded center conductor, super flexible air cellular foam dielelectric, cell poly foam skin, a split center pin, and 24K gold plated brass connectors with fanned inputs. They are the only cables I trust not to rip the inputs out of the back of a Carver TFM amplifier and you folks who have owned one know what I am talking about. There is no better cable available near the price point of first generation Esoteric audio cables.

December 2003 Esoteric P-70 Transport and D-70 Digital-to-Analog Converter by Marc Mickelson ...they might represent the last attempt, and the best attempt, at building the ultimate CD player. Edge of the Art Esoteric P-70 transport... Review SummarySoundIf detail is your audio North Star, the Esoteric P-70 and D-70 are your digital front-end. No CD player or transport/DAC combination Ive heard has delivered more information to my speakers than the P-70/D-70. Also offer grand dynamic contrasts, edge-of-the-art bass, and the sort of silent background for which only the best power conditioners get credit.FeaturesFeature packed; P-70 uses latest TEAC VRDS transport, does digital-to-digital processing, and includes word-sync connection so it can be slaved to the D-70 DAC, which is fully balanced and has a digital volume control; AES-3 digital connections; remote control; expertly designed and solidly built.UseBy far the best-sounding way to hear the Esoteric combination is via their AES-3 connectivity and word-sync option, through the D-70s balanced outputs as well.ValueEven at $14,000 for the pair, their price seems reasonable given what you can pay for other top-flight digital gear; if youre an audiophile, the Esoteric combos many layers of appeal are impossible to deny.Imagine for a moment what it must be like to be the person who measured the coldest outdoor temperature ever recorded -- minus 129 Fahrenheit in Vostok, Antarctica. Youve just achieved something noteworthy, and yet you are unable to convey the reality of your discovery to anyone who did not share the experience. How do you explain it? It was cold -- really cold. Frigid. Icy. Colder than you or I have ever felt by orders of magnitude.In many ways, this is what its like reviewing really good audio equipment, the sort of gear that sets a new standard in sonic reproduction. Youre not only trying to describe sound to someone who presumably hasnt heard what you have, but also trying to describe reproduced sound thats closer to live music than youve ever heard before. And after youve used that phrase -- Its closer to live music than Ive ever heard before -- youre basically stuck with metaphors, none of which cuts it: It was colder than a January night in Duluth.OK, so Ive probably tipped my hand in this review of the Esoteric P-70 transport and D-70 digital-to-analog converter -- theyre remarkable pieces of audio equipment. But because were all audiophiles here, I trust that youll read on for the details.Circuitry and constructionThe P-70/D-70 transport/DAC combo is Japanese electronics giant TEAC Corporations attempt at building the best source components for playing CDs, and TEACs Esoteric division has a lot of experience creating all-out digital gear. Its earlier transports and DACs were models of design sophistication and build solidity, and these qualities have been transferred to the P-70 and D-70 in an extreme way. All you have to do is read the glossy product brochure and then pick up one of these units to know that they are serious products. Each weighs 55 pounds, a fair part of this heft due to the 8mm, 18-pound base plate and 10mm faceplate that they each use. This weight is not merely for show, however. Its part of a design strategy that aims at reducing the effects of chassis resonance on the sound produced.The D-70 ($6500) is perhaps even more advanced than its partnering transport. At its heart is a foursome of Burr-Brown PCM1704 DACs in a dual-differential, fully balanced configuration. This chipset is able to process a high-resolution digital datastream, but it cant do it as currently implemented in the D-70. However, Esoteric has left a port available to stream high-resolution data into the D-70, to be used as soon as a standard is written and agreed upon. The space for this IEEE1394 FireWire port is open on the back panel, but the port is not currently implemented. Other features -- of which there are many -- include an onboard 128-megabit RAM buffer that absorbs the jitter generated by the transmission line and built-in digital volume control that uses bit truncation to control attenuation in .1dB steps. This means that at volumes lower than all the way up, the P-70 actually passes a signal thats lower than the DACs ultimate resolution, but as I comment below, the aural effects are non-existent or minimal.The transport and DAC offer a good many outputs and inputs. The D-70 has standard coaxial, TosLink, and AES/EBU digital outputs as well as AES-3 digital outputs, which split the digital stream into left and right channels and allow for the output of digital data thats upsampled to 176.4kHz. This, along with its BNC-terminated word-sync input, create the most advanced way to connect the D-70 transport to the D-70 DAC, which has the proper digital inputs and word-sync output on its end. The DAC has both single-ended and balanced analog outputs, the latter taking full advantage of the D-70s fully balanced circuitry, as well as eight digital inputs. Because of its many digital inputs and digital volume control (all functionality is remote controlled), the D-70 is more a digital preamp than a strict digital-to-analog converter.Even with everything Ive mentioned about the P-70/D-70 combination, Ive covered only a small portion of the pairs design and user features, all of which are discussed in the owners manuals for the units and TEAC USAs website. The P-70 and D-70 are the audio equivalents of a modern fighter jet: fully equipped and ready for extreme performance.Conclusion:If you are lucky enough to spend some time with the Esoteric P-70 and D-70, you will be impressed. These ne plus ultra audio components were obviously designed without compromise, and their sound proves this as readily as their design brief does. They offer stunning retrieval of detail, grand dynamic contrasts, edge-of-the-art bass, and the sort of silent background for which only the best power conditioners get credit. As for their price, keep in mind that the D-70 allows you to ditch your preamp, which may save you the cost of both DAC and transport given the prices of the very best preamps on the market today. There is also, I suspect, a high level of pride that comes with owning the P-70 and D-70 -- they might represent the last attempt, and the best attempt, at building the ultimate CD player.Just as its difficult to describe extreme weather conditions to anyone who hasnt experienced them, its hard to convey fully the sound of the Esoteric P-70 and D-70 -- even to those who have heard some of the best-sounding digital gear extant. Luckily, we here at SoundStage! have an easy out -- naming a component a Reviewers Choice, an honor that the P-70 and D-70 have down cold.The D-70 is an advanced D/A (digital-to-analog) converter that can handle multiple 2-channel linear digital source signals. When 176.4 kHz or 192 kHz is used, 2 XLR inputs are used simultaneously to enable stable transmission. (AES 3 standard.) * The Ultimate in Sound Reproduction Available from the Compact Disc Format * Refined Digital Output Technology & Refined Asynchronous Memory Link * Handles 24 bit Input with a Wide Range of Sampling Frequencies (32 to 192 kHz) Advanced newly-developed Refined Digital Output Technology (RDOT) The traditional belief is that the upper limit of human hearing is 20 kHz. In real life, however, information at frequencies over 20 kHz exists, and it is generally recognized that the presence of this information can significantly enhance the listening experience. However, when a CD is recorded, on account of the limitations of the sampling frequency, the audio upper limit is restricted to 20 kHz. RDOT provides a way to overcome this limitation and break the 20 kHz barrier, using the Fluency theory. The RDOT filtering utilized in the D-70 is equivalent to 24-bit/96 kHz input - a significant advance over the current 16-bit/44.1 kHz standard. When this new RDOT is employed, sources with up to 192 kHz sampling frequency, including the latest generation of audio discs, can be read. Using a higher frequency allows the gaps to be filled between the existing samples, effectively doubling the sampling frequency. The listener finds it easier to distinguish the sounds of individual instruments, even when many instruments are playing at the same time, and the quality of recorded reverberation is significantly improved, resulting in greater realism, and a much closer approach to a live performance. TEACs unique RAM link using new circuitry (Refined Asynchronous Memory Link) In order to achieve an ideal jitter-free D/A converter, we have installed a full 128Mbits worth of RAM Link buffer at the first stage of the DAC. The object is for the buffer to eliminate jitter completely, regardless of the amount of jitter or the frequency bandwidth. This results in an effective zero-error operation. The large amount of RAM in this buffer allows all incoming jitter to be absorbed completely in the buffer, and the data to be transferred, using the internal high-precision clock, to the next stage of the DAC. Key benefits of using a large RAM Link buffer: 1. Allows high bit-rate and high-frequency sampling 2. Extended continued playback is possible, and the high RAM 3. capacity makes it unnecessary to continually adjust the clock frequency. In order to produce a jitter-free stream, the optimum position for a buffer is immediately behind the digital filter. However, when oversampling takes place, and if there is a large amount of data to be buffered, then the RAM must be large enough to take account of this. On the D-70, both these aims have been achieved, with a buffer whose capacity is enough to handle the demands made on it Servo-free direct clocking system In the D-70, a servo-free direct clocking system is used, which comes close to the ideal of clock control. In systems where a clock other than the one derived from the digital audio signal is used, typically PLL (phase-locked loop) technology is used to keep the clock frequency as constant as possible. However, in high-end equipment such an approach leads to problems when designing circuitry that will not compromise the audio quality. The new method employed in the D-70 to maximize audio quality is to use a DAC locked to a direct crystal-controlled fixed-frequency clock. This allows the conversion to be carried out independently from the input frequency and input jitter is therefore eliminated. In the case of non-synchronization, the RAM Link buffer mentioned above eliminates any potential problems. 32kHz - 192kHz wide-ranging input sampling frequency, with 24-bit input The D-70 is an advanced D/A converter compatible with all twochannel linear digital sources, as well as top-quality CDs. It conforms to the AES 3 standard for dual-wire (XLR) input when accepting data at 176.4 kHz or 192 kHz. UP conversion feature allowing a maximum of 24 bit/768kHz Two different filter algorithms: FIR (equivalent to HDCD), and RDOT can be selected at the digital stage. Custom settings can also be made, by using the two different filters in series, for up to 16 times oversampling. Firstly, employing the sharp roll-off characteristics of FIR, the more natural extended characteristics of RDOT doubling the frequency can then be added to produce a more musical result. WORD SYNC output allowing synchronization with CD transports, DD converters, etc. The D-70 is further enhanced by the inclusion of word sync outputs. This provides a very stable input to the RAM Link buffer, and helps enhance the natural nature of the final audio signal. Three kinds of GIC analog filters on the left and right channels Three different types of analog filter are provided in order to cope with the range of input sampling frequencies, from 32 kHz up to 192 kHz, and the most appropriate filter is automatically selected. These filters are based on secondary Butterworth GIC filter. The automatic switching system isolates all filters, except the active one, using relays, and inactive filters do not appear in the signal path. This combination of features has the effect of producing lossless high-quality filtered sound. Discrete transformers for digital and analog circuitry This system completely removes any intra-system interference, and provides clean regulated power independently for the digital and analog sides. This is the cleanest, most precise power supply that we can devise. Ready for a IEEE 1394 interface (SACD and DVD-A format compatible) IEEE 1394, the next-generation high-speed digital link, is in the process of inter-manufacturer standardization for employment with the SACD and DVD-A formats. As soon as the necessary steps for standardization have been agreed, the D-70 is ready - with the ability to add a IEEE 1394 interface to the rear panel. Rather than rush forward, we have decided to wait until the standards have been set for both SACD and DVD-A, allowing a dual simultaneous expansion of capabilities. Super-solid body brings out the sound quality A solid heavy (25 kg, or 55 lbs) body and chassis, uncommon on DAC units, enhances bass response and feeling, as well as improving the overall sonic performance. An 8 mm-thick steel base sheet totally isolates the unit from external vibration. Triangular pinpoint feet composed of hardened steel help to complete the mechanical isolation. Sturdy internal construction, using seven major functional blocks, electrically isolated and independent from each other to provide the best possible quality: digital, analog, power supply (digital), power supply (analog), AC primary, word clock and transformers. HDCD® Decoding While ordinary CDs are digitized to 16-bit resolution, discs mastered to the HDCD® (High Definition Compatible Digital®) standard use 20-bit resolution. Such discs are compatible with ordinary CD players, but in order to obtain the maximum benefit from the new process, you need an HDCD decoder. The D-70 is equipped with HDCD, and can decode HDCD recordings! HDCD system manufactured under license from Microsoft Corporation.
