Esoteric writes: “An ideal way for audio transmission as it fully maximizes the system’s potential. Here dwells true musical emotion that transcends the concept of original sound reproduction.
Esoteric’s own ES-LINK digital interface utilizes HDMI cables for signal transmission that supports an even wider range of superior sound quality formats (Max. 22.5MHz DSD and 768kHz/48-bit PCM). The ESOTEIRC ES-LINK permits full balance transmission of audio data and LR clock and bit clock signals. This differs from regular digital transmission as signal modulation is not required on the sender side and demodulation processing is not required on the receiver side, thus dramatically reducing digital processing loads on the DAC side and enabling ideal digital transmission.
ES-Link Analog, Esoteric’s proprietary current transmission system, is employed for connection to an amplifier. ES-Link Analog is the ideal method for audio signal transmission. Compared to the conventional voltage transmission, it transmits approximately 100 times more current, making it less susceptible to noise and sending the full energy of the music to the amplifier.Also, it is not affected by the impedance of the interconnects running between the source device and amplifier, so it maintains a perfect integrity between the output signal of the source and the input signal to the amplifier.
