Precautions For Use; Making Connections; Connecting To An Amplifier Using Esl-A - Esoteric D-05X Mode D'emploi

Precautions for use

o This unit is very heavy, so take care to avoid injury during installation .
o Do not install this unit in a location that could become hot . This
includes places that are exposed to direct sunlight or near a radia-
tor, heater, stove or other heating equipment . Moreover, do not
place them on top of an amplifier or other equipment that gener-
ates heat . Doing so could cause discoloration or deformation .
o Avoid locations that are extremely cold or exposed to excessive
humidity or dust .
o In order to enable good heat dissipation, leave at least 20 cm (8")
between this unit and walls and other equipment when installing
it . If you put it in a rack, take precautions to prevent overheating
by leaving at least 5 cm (2") open above the top of the unit and
at least 10 cm (4") open behind the unit . Failure to provide these
gaps could cause heat to build up inside and result in fire .
o Place the unit in a stable location near the audio system that you
will use with it .
o Do not place anything on top of the unit .
o Supply voltage to the power unit that matches the voltage indi-
cated on the rear panel . If you are in any doubt regarding this
matter, consult an electrician .
o Do not move the unit during use .
o Do not open the body of the unit because this could result in
damage to the circuitry or cause electric shock . If a foreign object
should enter the unit, contact your dealer .
o When removing the power plug from an outlet, always pull
directly on the plug . Never pull on the cord itself .
o The shape of the ES-LINK connector is the same as that of an
HDMI connector, but it transmits signals that are in a unique
ESOTERIC format . Do not connect the ES-LINK connector to an
HDMI connector on a device made by another company . ES-LINK
and HDMI connectors are not compatible .

Making connections

Connecting to an amplifier using ESL-A

ES-LINK Analog
Grandioso F1, etc .
(ESL-A) connectors
Use XLR audio cables to connect the analog audio output (XLR/ESL-
A) connectors on this unit to a Grandioso F1 or other amplifier that
has ES-LINK Analog (ESL-A) connectors .
o Set this unit's analog output to ESL-A .
o You can also connect to the Grandioso F1 using XLR or RCA
connectors . Select the connection type that provides the audio
quality you prefer .
ES-LINK Analog overview
Using a current transmission method that utilizes the high-perfor-
mance of an HCLD buffer circuit, which boasts the ability to supply
strong current at high speed, the effects of impedance on the signal
path are suppressed and transmitting signals purely and powerfully is
possible .
o Ordinary balanced cables (with XLR connectors) are used for
connection . These connectors can only be used with compatible
devices, however, because the transmission format is unique .
