Frequently Asked Questions - D02X Esoteric

How to connect the D-02X to a CD player?
Connect the digital output of the CD player to one of the digital inputs of the D-02X (ES-LINK, XLR, RCA, optical or USB). For optimal quality, use the ES-LINK connection if the player allows it. Make sure the HDMI cable used is dedicated for this purpose and not a standard HDMI port. Then select the corresponding input on the D-02X with the INPUT button.
What cables to use for the ES-LINK connection?
Use exclusively a standard commercial HDMI cable. Caution: the ES-LINK format is proprietary to Esoteric and is not compatible with HDMI connectors from other brands. Do not plug this cable into a television or other device.
How to set the upsampling?
Press the MENU button several times to display UPCONV. Use the -/+ buttons to choose from OFF, 2FS, 4FS, 8FS or DSD. The setting applies per input. Note that on the ES-LINK input, only OFF and DSD are available.
What to do if no sound comes out of the speakers?
Check that the selected input (INPUT button) matches the connected source. Make sure the cables are properly connected and the amplifier is on. Check the AOUT setting in the menu: choose XLR2, XLR3 or RCA according to the output used. Finally, check the amplifier volume.
How to synchronize the clock with an external generator?
Connect the output of the clock generator to the CLOCK SYNC IN (or 10MHz IN) input of the D-02X. In the menu, set CLK to IN or MCK IN depending on the clock type. Then select the correct frequency in CLKin (CLK or 10M). The CLOCK indicator should light solid once synchronized.
Can I use the D-02X with a computer?
Yes, via the USB port. First install the dedicated driver downloadable from the Esoteric website. Then plug in the USB cable, turn on the device, select the USB input and start playback with compatible software (e.g. ESOTERIC HR Audio Player). Supported frequencies go up to 384 kHz PCM and 11.2 MHz DSD.
How to reset to factory settings?
Turn off the device. Hold down the MENU button then press POWER. Release MENU when Setup CLR appears on the screen. All parameters return to their default values.
The CLOCK indicator flashes continuously, what to do?
This means the device cannot synchronize with the external clock signal. Check the BNC cable connections and frequency settings. If you are not using an external clock, set CLK to OFF in the menu.
What audio formats are supported via USB?
Linear PCM from 44.1 to 384 kHz (16-32 bits) and DSD 2.8/5.6/11.2 MHz. The DoP format (DSD over PCM) is also accepted on XLR, RCA and optical inputs. Note that Dolby Digital, DTS or AAC signals are not decoded.
How to clean the D-02X?
Use a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn stains, slightly dampen the cloth and wring it well. Never spray liquid directly on the device. Avoid chemicals, solvents or wet wipes. Always unplug the power cord before cleaning.

For stubborn smudges, use a damp cloth that has been thoroughly wrung out to remove excess moisture.

Avoid allowing rubber or plastic materials to touch the unit for long periods of time because they could damage the cabinet. Never spray liquid directly on this unit. Do not use chemically-treated wipes, thinner or similar substances because they could damage the surface of the unit.

For safety, disconnect the power plug from the outlet before cleaning.

Precautions for use

- This unit is very heavy, so take care to avoid injury during installation.

- Do not install this unit in a location that could become hot. This includes places that are exposed to direct sunlight or near a radiator, heater, stove or other heating equipment. Moreover, do not place them on top of an amplifier or other equipment that generates heat. Doing so could cause discoloration or deformation.

- Avoid locations that are extremely cold or exposed to excessive humidity or dust.

- In order to enable good heat dissipation, leave at least 20 cm (8") between this unit and walls and other equipment when installing it. If you put it in a rack, take precautions to prevent overheating by leaving at least 5 cm (2") open above the top of the unit and at least 10 cm (4") open behind the unit. Failure to provide these gaps could cause heat to build up inside and result in fire.

- Place the unit in a stable location near the audio system that you will use with it.

- Do not place anything, not even CDs, CD-Rs, LP records or cassette tapes, on top of the unit. Doing so could cause damage.

- Do not put cloth on top of the unit or place it on top of bedding or thick carpet. Doing so could cause it to overheat or damage it.

- Supply voltage to the power unit that matches the voltage indicated on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt regarding this matter, consult an electrician.

- Do not move the unit during use.

- Do not open the body of the unit because this could result in damage to the circuitry or cause electric shock. If a foreign object should enter the unit, contact your dealer.

- When removing the power plug from an outlet, always pull directly on the plug. Never pull on the cord itself.
