Dear members and friends of Sydney Audio Club Inc,
The next Club meeting for 2023 will be held on Sunday 10th December
Cameron Pope, from Krispy Audio, will be presenting a system configuration of an Esoteric N-05XD Streamer / Dac, an Esoteric F1 Grandioso Amplifier and EgglestonWorks Emma Evo Speakers.
We will also be holding our Christmas BBQ and Raffle at the meeting.
Equipment Details:
Source: Esoteric N-05XD - Streamer, Pre, DAC & Headphone Amp: Esoteric N-05XD D/AC, Pre, Streamer, Headphone Amplifier
The N-05XD is an evolution of their N-05 network player, but improves on this not only in streaming performance, but adds an analogue input, preamplifier section, headphone amplifier and even offers bluetooth integration for the first time from Esoteric. A truly all-in-one device that can be a single-box solution for a headphone setup or active speakers, or pair with a power amplifier for a simple yet masterful two-box hifi setup.
Starting new audio style with network, with the Master Sound Discrete DAC that invites you to a new digital audio world, an attenuator system that maximises potential of your speakers and power amplifier, digital and analog inputs, and preamplifier that settles in the middle of the system.
Accommodating a linear-power driven network circuit that employed on the N-01XD, expressing more musical detail on network sources with natural power supply regulated by dedicated power transformers, supporting various Internet streaming services.
Amplifier: Esoteric F1 Grandioso (30w Class A solid state): Esoteric F1 Grandioso integrated amplifier pre-loved
The F1 flagship model of Esoteric integrated amplifiers for the next dimension in sound.
The Grandioso series is the best of the best, the supreme range of Esoteric products. It takes its place at the pinnacle of this range as an integrated amplifier comprised of only the very best in luxurious materials expected of a flagship model. Since we take pride in in-house development and the fact that our products are made in Tokyo, we took the extra step to develop a unique next-generation silicon carbide MOSFET called the “ESOTERIC MODEL200” for the core of the power amplifier.
But we did not stop there. This level of uncompromising perfection is found in all aspects of the Grandioso F1, including its technology, layout, and design. This enables it to truly provide outstanding power of expression so listeners can experience the rich texture and warmth of their favorite music. It also features a space factor not found in separated models. The Grandioso F1 truly sings the virtues of modern amplifier technology.
Speakers: EgglestonWorks Emma Evo: EgglestonWorks Emma EVOlution
As the top of the EgglestonWorks Artisan EVO series, the Emma is the result of a comprehensive research and development program whose goal was to create a range of affordable loudspeakers, which maintain the sonic and aesthetic excellence for which EgglestonWorks has long been renowned.
The EVOlution embodied in the Emma first originated with the Viginti Limited Edition speaker and then in the Kiva. Both of these speakers feature a completely re-designed cabinet, internal bracing and porting systems, which were new to any previous EW product. In keeping with our tradition of trickle down R&D, the Emma benefits from the exact same cabinet advancements as the much larger speakers in the line. Redesigned drivers and crossover networks round out the improvements to insure the Emma EVO attains the highest quality sound delivery possible.
Emma EVO delivers the quality and beauty of cost-no-object speakers at a real-world price.
Cables: Shunyata + Vermouth Audio
Noting that a Backup amplifier would be a Copland CSA-150 if the Esoteric becomes unavailable.
Streaming will be from a hard drive in the Esoteric, and if attendees are wanting to bring music then they could bring tracks on USB and they will be transferred to the Esoteric.
----------------
The second half of the music session is designed to help you evaluate the system with music that you are familiar with. All members and guests are welcome to offer music to share with us all. So research your favourite music, for Streaming - Sorry, No vinyl this session.
All we ask is that the music and recordings be interesting. We'll ask you to tell us a little about the artist/recording before it is played. Tracks over 6 minutes will be faded out, to give everyone a fair go. We will also have a club member act as Disc Jockey for this session.
Whether you are a novice or a seasoned veteran, you will have the opportunity to listen, learn and share your experiences with others. Feel free to come and hear the capabilities of the system, or to just share the experience with like-minded music lovers in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
Guests are welcome – we are a very friendly club so you don't need to know anyone to join us for an afternoon of fine music and sound. Please bring your music to share.
