Specs for the X-03 Unit


High precision VRDS-NEO mechanism
High precision turntable rotation system
Advanced pick up sled servo section equipped with a hall element sensing-type three-phase brush less motor.
Analog output terminals are specialized for 2-channel use.
i.LINK interface for multi-channel digital output
High performance range that builds on the success elements of the X-01 / UX-1
For CD/Super Audio CD only listeners the "X-03"
For DVD Audio/Video plus Super Audio CD/CD users, the Universal player "UX-3"
i.LINK(IEEE1394) Interface

X-03/UX-3 is equipped with an iLINK(IEEE1394) interface for multi-channel reproduction. An i.LINK(IEEE1394) circuit, which was developed originally for P-01/D-01, enables an audiophile quality digital transmission. You can enjoy Super Audio CD or DVD multi-channel reproduction with i.LINK-ready multi-channel DAC or AV amplifier.

It does... not really

Yep, well, It does help the end user to understand that those 2 players are stéréo only (have to use the numerical output in the case of the DVD one). It does help to understand that one is universal (DVD, SACD + CD) while the other one is only SACD/CD.
It does help also to understand that they are high-end products, just because they can be synchronised using an external clock! This is usualy only available on professional products, and it does halp a lot for the Digital to Analog conversion!
But what is hidden behind is that they use top end mechanical and DAC systems, and at this price, you often don't have half that quality! Even if the prices are high, it is very good value for money!
Very very very good players...
