Sony CDP-X7ESD CD player
The Sony CDP-X7ESD is a legendary, top-tier reference CD player from Sony’s prestigious Elevated Standard (ES) series. Engineered with zero compromises during the golden era of digital audio, it is celebrated for its ultra-robust build quality and audiophile-grade performance. Full specifications and functional features for this model include: Technical Specifications Digital-to-Analog Converters (DAC): Dual Burr-Brown PCM58P-S (18-bit linear DAC system). Digital Filter: CXD1244 8fs 45-bit noise-shaping digital filter. Laser Transport Mechanism: Sony KSS-190A magnetic linear motor drive. Frequency Response: 2 Hz to 20,000 Hz (±0.3 dB). Signal-to-Noise Ratio (S/N): > 115 dB. Dynamic Range: > 100 dB. Total Harmonic Distortion (THD): < 0.0015%. Channel Separation: > 110 dB. Output Voltage: 2.0 V RMS. Power Consumption: 22W – 26W (depending on regional voltage variant). Dimensions: 470 mm × 125 mm × 375 mm (Standard version with wood sides). Weight: 17.0 kg (37.5 lbs). Construction & Hardware Features Chassis Design: Heavy-duty, copper-plated Frame and Beam (FB) anti-resonant chassis to completely shield circuit blocks from electromagnetic interference and mechanical vibrations. Dual Power Supplies: Features two massive, separate potted power transformers explicitly dividing the digital and analog supply rails. Acoustically Sealed Tray: Utilizes a heavy die-cast disc drawer designed with a perimeter rubber seal that isolates the disc chamber from air-transmitted acoustic soundwaves. Internal Audio Layout: Twin-mono layout across independent digital and analog circuit boards to eliminate crosstalk. Cabinet Styling: Deep gloss-finished wood composite side panels attached to a thick aluminum front fascia panel. Isolation Feet: Supported by high-density Fine Ceramic anti-vibration isolation feet. Connection & Control Features Analog Outputs: Gold-plated RCA Fixed, RCA Variable (adjustable output volume), and premium balanced XLR connectors. Digital Outputs: 1 × Coaxial (75 Ohm) and 1 × Optical (Toslink), isolated via time-axis latch digital sync ICs to virtually eliminate jitter. Custom File System: Built-in programmatic memory allowing users to save "Custom Index" track points (up to 10 points per disc) and a "Program Bank" recalling customized play orders for personal CDs. Variable Control: Front panel features a dedicated LINE OUT/PHONE LEVEL potentiometer knob driving both the variable RCA jacks and the high-power headphone amp. Supplied Accessory: Handheld RM-D770 infrared remote control commander
