RZ-1

Music System: Integrated amp / CD-SACD player / 32 bit USB / SPDIF DAC / phonostage



Available March 2010

ESOTERIC SACD/CD transport, 32 bit DAC, various digital inputs with high resolution streaming media compatibility, and pure master sound amplification... all of these functions enclosed in an elegant one-box music system.

The streamlined aluminum front face matched with our low profile chassis beautifully expresses the RZ-1's sophisticated simplicity of operation. The RZ-1 is highly functional yet simply designed delivering on the convergence of multiple media formats - SACD, CD, PC based audio streaming and vinyl LPs.

The RZ-1 is a sophisticated, high end, integrated music system, made for people who simply love music.

Features:
  • ESOTERIC SACD/CD transport mechanism
  • 32 bit DAC (AK4392) with 3 digital audio input connections
  • USB digital input (24 bit / 96 kHz)
  • USB isolator to eliminate PC noise from entering the system
  • 24 bit / 192 kHz high-rez S/PDIF input (Coaxial + Optical)
  • User selectable 32 bit 8 x digital filters: FIR and short delay apodizing filter
  • Short delay filter effectively reduces pre-echo effect
  • ESOTERIC master sound power amplification
  • Maximum output power: 100 Watt + 100 Watt (6 ohms load)
  • Large toroidal, high capacitance analog power supply (custom designed), for pure driving power
  • Analog input x 2 (Line 1 / Line 2)
  • Line 2 input can be switched to MM phono input
  • Tone control (Treble / Bass) and channel balance controls
  • Sleep-timer function
