Esoteric P-01 POWER switch, Digital Output Setting, Basic Operation

Basic Operation

POWER switch

Press the POWER switch of the power supply unit to turn the P-01 on or off.

When the unit is on, the ring surrounding the switch lights up.

<Also turn the connected components (D/A converter, amplifier, clock generator, etc.) on.

<When the WORD button is set to “IN” or “Rb IN”, “WRD UNLOCK!” or “No Word!” may appear, as it takes several seconds for the unit to lock the word clock input from the WORD SYNC IN terminal. The message will disappear when the unit locks to the word clock.

Digital Output Setting

Repeatedly press the OUTPUT button to select the digital output terminal.

Select the terminal to which your D/A converter is connected.

The indicator of the selected terminal lights up.

The ES-LINK indicator lights only when you select XLR DUAL with an SACD on the disc tray. It goes off when the unit is turned off or a CD is loaded.

<The ES-LINK is an Esoteric-exclusive format that makes SACD digital output possible. Data from SACD is automatically transmitted in the ES-LINK format when you switch the P-01 to the XLR DUAL output with the ES-LINK-ready D/A converter D-01 connected to the XLR connector on the P-01.
