The Grandioso G1X is the flagship model of master clock generator line, which combines all of our wisdom, technology, and passion.

The G-02X master clock generator adopts new technologies such as “Wide Range Clock Buffer Amplifiers”, “Adaptive Zero Ground” circuits, and a new custom made high-precision OCXO to attain the very best in musical expression from your digital audio system.

OP-ESLA1 is an optional board that adds the "ES-Link Analog" input function to the Esoteric F series integrated amplifier models.

Reproducing the full sound quality of the original masters. The N-05XD represents a new frontier in network DAC/preamps.

As Esoteric’s first-ever network DAC/preamp, the N-05XD was specifically designed to deliver superior sound quality from the smallest system configurations combining your favorite power amplifier, speakers, and headphones.

The E-02 inherits the philosophy that guided our highly acclaimed E-03, and adds the new fully balanced transmission and amplification circuit utilizing MC cartridges to achieve a level of analog playback that was previously unimaginable.

Striving for an all-encompassing sense of presence unmatched in its category, the F-07 Integrated Amplifier omits none of the remarkable performance features found in Esoteric’s flagship Grandioso separate amps.
2 x 100 Watt (8Ω) / 2 x 180 Watt (4Ω)

The F-05 was designed as a core component of Esoteric’s new F Series of Integrated Amplifiers. Like the F-03A, its fully balanced preamplifier section was acquired from the Grandioso C1, and its high-powered amplifier modules were acquired directly from the Grandioso S1.
2 x 120 Watt (8Ω) / 2 x 240 Watt (4Ω)

Setting out to create one of the most desirable integrated amplifiers available, Esoteric brought together a fully balanced preamplifier and a Class-A power amplifier to created a new reference for integrated amplifiers that gives full expression to the smooth, full-bodied tones and delicately shaded textures of your favorite music.
2 x 30 Watt Class A (8Ω) / 2 x 60 Watt Class A (4Ω)

The Grandioso series is the best of the best, the supreme range of Esoteric products. The Grandioso F1 takes its place at the pinnacle of this range as an integrated amplifier comprised of only the very best in luxurious materials expected of a flagship model.
2 x 30 Watt Class A

The Grandioso C1 has two separate chassis, with each channel totally independent from the other. Ultra Fidelity Attenuator System provides 0.1dB/1,120steps super precision volume, Employs 2sets XLR output and 2sets ESLA outputs which each set has Quad Ouput Buffer Amplifier, 3sets XLR input can be switched to ESLA inputs.

Stereo Power Amplifier, Exceptional Power Linearity for Outstanding Dynamics, 290W + 290W (4 Ohms), 5Hz − 100kHz (+0dB, -3dB, 8 Ohms), 115dB (IHF-A), RCA ×1 pair / XLR ×1 pair. WBT Accessories, better internal components compared to S-03, premium power button & 3D feet.

The Master Sound Discrete DAC features a totally original design that represents the culmination of Esoteric's quest for an original master sound. Its high 64-bit resolution provides vast improvements over our earlier DAC's 36-bit resolution, and enables support for the latest technologies such as playback of 22.5MHz DSD and 768kHz PCM audio.

To the Future of Musical Reproduction

Massive, super high quality modular systems are the key philosophy that Esoteric has followed since we were first established. We are now bringing this same philosophy to network playback systems with the N-03T network digital audio transport system. Your favorite D/A converter or Super Audio CD player can be digitally connected by USB, enabling you to build just the right system to enjoy playing files or streaming content your way.
Esoteric takes digital transport to a new level with endless options and even more possibilities for audio playback.

The ultimate Network x DAC only ESOTERIC could achieve

An all unique circuit design called "Master Sound Discrete DAC", together with a further refined sound quality Network Module as core technology result in the ultimate Network Audio Player/DAC, the N-01XD. The outcome of ESOTERIC's passion that strives for the original master sound.

The flagship model named "Grandioso"

The Greek god Atlas held the skies on his shoulders as he stood at the center of the heavens. This peerless new Esoteric system has been designed from the ground up to showcase two unique innovations; a completely new VRDS-ATLAS transport.
