Grandioso PS1: External High-Performance Power Supply

The Grandioso PS1 is a high-performance external power supply meticulously designed to enhance the performance of the Grandioso K1X Super Audio CD Player. By providing dedicated power to the K1X’s analog circuits, the PS1 significantly reduces transformer-induced vibrations and magnetic flux leakage, resulting in a purer audio signal and an elevated listening experience.

Key Features

• Four Independent Power Transformers: The PS1 features four robust power transformers, two per channel, dedicated to the analog front (D/A section) and rear (buffer amplifier section) circuits. This configuration ensures ample DC power supply, leading to richer tonal quality and improved signal-to-noise ratios.
• Enhanced Analog Circuit Isolation: Connecting the PS1 to the K1X deactivates the K1X’s internal analog circuit power transformers, thereby minimizing the influence of transformer vibrations and magnetic flux on the analog circuits. This separation allows for a more refined and isolated analog signal path.
• High-Rigidity Chassis Construction: The PS1’s enclosure is constructed from thick, heavyweight aluminum panels, providing a high-rigidity structure that minimizes microvibrations. This design is complemented by Esoteric’s proprietary pinpoint feet, further reducing vibrations that can adversely affect sound quality.
• Ultra-Thick DC Cables: The PS1 includes large, die-cast aluminum connectors and a pair of ultra-thick DC cables (1.0m each) for the left and right channels, ensuring optimal sound quality through reliable and robust connections.

By integrating the Grandioso PS1 with the Grandioso K1X, audiophiles can achieve a new level of audio purity and performance, bringing them closer to the artist’s original intent.
