The Esoteric SA-60 remains a cornerstone for audiophiles who want a device capable of playing physical discs such as CD, SACD, DVD-Audio, and audio tracks of DVD-V. This player is particularly appreciated for its ability to handle the multichannel sections of these formats, making it a versatile choice for those seeking superior audio performance.
Internally, the SA-60 does not disappoint, utilizing a proprietary transport and clamping mechanism, the same as the DV-60, but scaled and optimized for a more accessible product. Although the mechanism is simpler than those found in higher-end models, it retains the reliability and precision that Esoteric is known for. The Cirrus Logic 4398 digital-to-analog converters handle both PCM and DSD natively, also offering the ability to up-convert PCM to either a higher bit depth and sample rate or to DSD, for high-quality audio reproduction.
On the back of the device, you'll find high-quality RCA multichannel outputs, as well as RCA and XLR outputs for the left and right channels. The SA-60's circuit is fully balanced, with the balanced outputs separated from the single-ended outputs to ensure the utmost signal purity. Additionally, it features optical and coaxial digital outputs, an IEC power input, and the ability to connect the SA-60 to an external clock for increased precision in audio signal processing.
This player stands out for its ability to reproduce music with a perfect balance of detail and smoothness. Its PCM-to-DSD conversion offers playback that, while maintaining the smoothness typical of analog systems, does not sacrifice the accuracy and definition of the sound.
The SA-60 is an ideal solution for those who want a high-class audio product at a reasonable price, especially considering the high-level technology used in this player, which comes from the experiences and innovations of one of the industry's leading manufacturers. Its ability to play music with a natural sound, rich in detail and depth, makes it an ideal component for those who desire an authentic and high-quality musical experience.
