ES-LINK3DUAL AES 8Fs
ES-LINK3 is Esoterics proprietary brand new
PCM digital link format enables extremely high
definition 48bit/176.4kHz data transmission.The
system also supports DUAL AES 8Fs format, which
allows 24bit/352.8kHz data transmission.

P-02 D-02 Philosophy
35bit D/A Processing (PAT.P)
The D-02 is implemented with highly advanced
patent pending technology 35bit D/A Processing
algorithm.Digital data processing is done with
35bit basis, which definition is 2048 times
higher than 24bit based DAC system.Ultimate high
definition digital processing contributes to the
D-02s pure, smooth analog sound quality.

35bit D/A processing (PAT.P)
The D-02 applies a completely new technology,
"35-bit D/A processing" (patent pending)
algorithm. This process enhances the reproduction
of analog waveforms by implementing even finer
bit gradation. In comparison with 24-bit data
processing, 32-bit processing can theoretically
have 256 times higher resolution. 35-bit
processing is 8 times higher than the resolution
of 32-bit processing, that is 2,048 times higher
than the resolution of 24-bit processing. The
final analog output signal has a very smooth
sound quality with ultimate resolution, and a
distinctive power of expression, even for
extremely small signal levels.
