Description
Massive, super high quality modular systems are the key philosophy that Esoteric has followed since we were first established.
We are now bringing this same philosophy to network playback systems with the N-03T network digital audio transport system.
Your favorite D/A converter or Super Audio CD player can be digitally connected by USB, enabling you to build just the right system to enjoy playing files or streaming content your way.
Esoteric takes digital transport to a new level with endless options and even more possibilities for audio playback.
Network Audio
The N-03T fulfills every music lover’s dream: to access music freely from your living room chair and enjoy the very best audio quality. The DSD master audio source provides a crystal-clear audio experience, your CD collection is arranged in a library for easy access, and streaming services put new music at your fingertips. The N-03T is a network audio transport system specially designed to connect with an external DAC or a Super Audio CD player’s built-in DAC via USB connection. Other than your audio system, all you need is a home LAN (Wi-Fi router, etc.), a tablet or smartphone and a NAS (music server) to store your music library. That’s all you need for an easy, comfortable music experience where you don’t have to compromise on quality.
