12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod,
bracket,
or
table
specified
by
the
manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus.
When a cart is used, use caution when
moving the cart/apparatus combination to
avoid injury from tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused
for long periods of time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is
required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way,
such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been
spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus
has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally,
or has been dropped.
<
Do not expose this apparatus to drips or splashes.
<
Do not place any objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the
apparatus.

Features
VRDS mechanism for Super Audio CD players,
incorporating a duralumin turntable and a SS400 bridge
The VDRS mechanism completely eliminates any vibration caused by the disc
itself, thanks to the full-diameter clamp, that clamps the disc securely to the
turntable. Additionally, warping and other defects of the disc are eliminated. The
constancy of the reading angle between the optical pickup and the disc pits is
therefore increased, and read errors, together with the occurrence of timing
errors to the clock circuit, are significantly reduced.
Playback of Super Audio CDs requires high-speed rotation and a high degree of
precision, and the X-03/X-03SE accordingly uses a duralumin turntable. The
bridge employs a pair of precisely engineered ball bearings, and is constructed of
10mm thick SS400 steel.
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, coupled
with the clamping turntable and the precision ball bearings, eliminate irregular
rotation and vibration.
Neodymium stabilizes the motor's driving current, reducing influence on the
audio sections of the unit.
Constant-angle optical pickup mounted on a sled with
feedback-monitored speed control
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.
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.

Brushed aluminum finish exemplifies the quality of
construction
The front panel is 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 periphery to the control buttons, the top-panel
logo, and the milled aluminum disc tray.
Unsurpassed design and features
Separation of power supplies for each major function (digital audio, DAC
circuitry, analog audio) ensures total fidelity. The DACs have sub-ground
impedances with exceptional S/N figures.
Audio DACs
All audio channels use Burr-Brown 24-bit DA converters (PCM1704). Improved
linearity is achieved for the two front channels by the use of dual converters for
each channel.
The audio DAC boards employ a high-quality quartz crystal, resulting in the
almost complete elimination of jitter and subsequent distortion-free DA
conversion.
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.
i.LINK (AUDIO) terminal
The digital surround audio from Super Audio CDs can be output from the i.LINK
(AUDIO) terminal.
