About the Grandioso P1

The Esoteric Grandioso P1 is a flagship Super Audio CD/CD transport system featuring a two-chassis design with a main unit and a separate power supply unit. It uses the VRDS-NEO transport mechanism with a dedicated VS-DD spindle servo driver for precise and vibration-free disc playback. The power supply contains four large toroidal transformers supplying clean and stable power to various circuits including the spindle motor and digital output. The front panel is milled from a single block of aluminum with a distinctive curved design and a blue LED indicator. The P1 supports multiple digital outputs including ES-LINK, XLR, i.LINK, and RCA, allowing ultra-wide-band digital transmission of DSD and high-resolution PCM signals. It weighs approximately 59.4 lbs for the transport and 53 lbs for the power supply. The P1 is designed to deliver exceptional sonic purity and detail retrieval, making it a top choice for audiophiles seeking the highest quality SACD playback.
