DV-60 Product Detail:

The Esoteric® DV-60 universal SACD/CD/DVD player is a high performance addition to the Esoteric® audio / video product line

The DV-60 shares the basic functionality of the Esoteric DV-50S, i.e. high quality 2 channel dedicated analog audio outputs (balanced and unbalanced), backed by a high-precision 24-bit digital to analog converter, unique up-conversion technology and mulch-channel analog audio outputs (to support surround sound videos, multi-channel SACD and DVD audio information).

Combined with these well-established features, the DV-60 adds the following new features and technologies suitable for audiophile and videophile applications, in addition to those required for custom home theater.

• Esoteric® proprietary transport and drive mechanism (with highly rigid metal isolation for superior anti-vibration and anti-resonance properties).
• Updated D/A converter (with “FIR and RDOT + FIR” digital filter algorithms for audio signal up-conversion, native DSD mode and PCM to DSD signal conversion)
• 14 bit video processing using Analog Devices ADV7324 with NSV (Noise shaping video), plus Faroudja’s I/P conversion processor chip with DCDi technology.
• HDMI output terminal with video up-conversion pass through up to 1080p – (Using the latest LSI chipset ABT1018 from Anchor Bay Technologies).
• Word synchronization function (Word clock input / BNC terminal x 1)
• Highly evolved home installation solutions for external control function (RS232C with standby option, 12V DC trigger – rear panel remote control input terminal).
• Highly rigid chassis construction with cut aluminum top and side panels (Including an engraved “ESOTERIC” logo on the top).
• Slim remote control with illuminated keys for easier operation in low light or no light environments such as home theater.

DV-60 Technical Specifications:

• Playable disc formats: CD/SACD/DVD-V/DVD-A/VCD/SVCD
• Analog audio output terminals: 2 ch RCA output / multi-channel RCA output
• Digital audio output terminals: COAXIAL/TOS (Signal format variation: “Stream” or “PCM” can be selected in SETUP mode operation)
• Video output: composite / S terminal / component terminals / D terminals /HDMI connector (including audio signal).

Up-conversion function:

• FIR: 8x

o Fs=44/48Hz x 8 = 24bit 8x (=352/384Hz)

o Fs=88/96Hz x 8 = 24bit 16x (=704/768Hz)

o Fs=176/192Hz x 8 = 24bit 32x (=1408/1536Hz)

• RDOT+FIR (24bit-32x)
• DSD (1bit-64x)

Þ SACD DSD signals are directly output without up-conversion.

Þ Digital signals are output in their original Fs.

HDMI output terminal:

• Expanded mode HDMI output
• Video scaling function: 480p/720p/1080i/1080p
• Audio output: Stream signal output / 2ch PCM (DOWNMIX) signal output

/Multi-channel. PCM signal output

• HDMI terminal does not output DSD audio signals.

Word sync:

• Input BNC 75ohm coax cable

RS232C Remote control (with Standby/On mode)
