About the D03
The Esoteric D-03 is a premium DAC developed to deliver highly detailed and transparent musical reproduction, especially optimized for Super Audio CD formats. It supports DSD and high-resolution PCM signals up to 192kHz/24-bit, using four Analog Devices AD1955 24-bit/192kHz DACs per channel in a quad-differential configuration for superior accuracy and low noise. The unit features a fully dual-mono design with separate power supplies and transformers for each channel, housed in isolated compartments to minimize interference. It offers versatile digital inputs including i.LINK, XLR (Dual AES/ES-LINK), RCA coaxial, and optical, and supports word clock synchronization for jitter reduction. The analog output stage is fully discrete with balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA outputs. The D-03 is designed to pair with the Esoteric P-03 Universal Disc Transport, forming a high-end digital playback system. It weighs 27 kg and measures 445 x 159 x 437 mm.
