About the Grandioso D1X SE

The Esoteric Grandioso D1X SE is the ultimate monoblock DAC designed for superior stereo playback, utilizing a proprietary Master Sound Discrete DAC with in-house FPGA processing and 64-bit/512Fs Delta-Sigma modulation. It eschews generic DAC ICs for a fully discrete circuit, delivering exceptional fidelity and dynamics. Upgraded SE model includes refined analog circuitry with IDM-01 amplifier modules, Esoteric-HCLD output buffer (slew rate 2000V/μs), ES-Link Analog outputs, and ES-Link5 digital input supporting ultra-high resolutions. Dual monaural design with independent toroidal transformers per channel, 50 EDLC super capacitors (1.3F total for pair), MQA decoder, and up-convert functions. Ideal for high-end systems seeking holographic soundstaging and organic texture.
