Esoteric G-01XD Master Clock Generator

Esoteric G-01XD Master Clock Generator

The Esoteric G-01XD is a master clock generator designed to elevate the musical expression of digital audio systems. Central to its performance is the proprietary “Master Sound Discrete Clock,” a Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator (OCXO) module developed in-house by Esoteric. This module ensures exceptional clock precision, enhancing the playback quality of connected digital players.

Key Features

  • Master Sound Discrete Clock: Esoteric’s custom-developed OCXO module delivers high-precision clock signals, significantly improving the musicality of digital audio systems.
  • Esoteric-HCLD Output Buffer Circuit: Incorporated from the Grandioso C1X preamplifier, this circuit offers powerful current transfer capability and a wide frequency response, ensuring pure 10MHz sine wave clock signals are delivered to connected devices.
  • Four Independent Power Supplies: Dedicated power supplies for the oscillator circuit, buffer amplifier, heater, and control circuit minimize mutual interference, resulting in superior sound quality.
  • Adaptive Zero Ground Mode: Each of the four 10MHz sine wave clock output terminals features a toggle switch, allowing selection between normal mode and Adaptive Zero Ground mode. This flexibility enables users to choose their preferred sound quality by adjusting the ground level for each output terminal.
  • Custom Coaxial Cable and Connectors: Internally, the G-01XD utilizes a specially selected coaxial cable for optimal sound quality, paired with gold-plated SMA connectors that comply with military standards. The output connectors are gold-plated BNC types with precisely matched 50Ω impedance, enhancing transmission reliability and reducing signal loss.
  • Robust Chassis Construction: The unit features heavy-duty, thick-walled aluminum front and side panels to suppress external vibrations. The Master Sound Discrete Clock module is mechanically grounded by its weight without the use of mounting screws, further reducing vibration.

The Esoteric G-01XD Master Clock Generator is engineered for audiophiles seeking to maximize the performance of their digital audio systems. It offers precise clocking and exceptional build quality.
