Esoteric N-05 Brochure - Page 1

External Clock Sync Function Connecting the N-05 to an external G-02X Master Clock Generator allows more accurate synchronization between internal digital circuits, thereby enabling significant improvements in Lower unit: G-02X system sound quality. The N-05 is compatible with 44.1/88.2/ 176.4kHz word clocks as well as both 10MHz and 22MHz direct master clock LINK.* *The clock generator's master clock signal is used 'as is' by the D/A converter, bypassing its internal PLL circuit to allow straighter, more high-accuracy D/A conversion. Versatile D/D Converter The N-05 is equipped with a highly versatile D/D converter and digital filter. In addition to playback at the original sampling frequency, 2×, 4× and 8× up-conversion of the PCM digital signal, as well as cross-format conversion of PCM and DSD using a proprietary algorithm, are all freely selectable. Digital filtering (of both PCM and DSD) can also be enabled or disabled as desired. A Multitude of Digital Inputs The N-05's array of digital inputs include USB (×1), coaxial (×1) & optical (×1). The coaxial and optical inputs are compatible with both 192kHz/24-bit PCM and 2.8MHz DSD (DoP), while the USB port supports asynchronous transmission and native playback of 2.8/5.6/11.2MHz DSD and 384kHz/32-bit PCM. Complete Noise Isolation The analog circuit following the N-05's D/A conver ter is separated from its digital circuitry by an isolator that ensures complete noise reduction to maintain the purity of the analog sound output.
