Press the POWER switch of the power supply unit to turn the
P-01 on or off.

amplifier, clock generator, etc.) on.
< When the WORD button is set to “IN” or “Rb IN”, “WRD

seconds for the unit to lock the word clock input from the
WORD SYNC IN terminal. The message will disappear when
the unit locks to the word clock.
Repeatedly press the OUTPUT button to select the digital
output terminal.
Select the terminal to which your D/A converter is connected.
The indicator of the selected terminal lights up.
The ES-LINK indicator lights only when you select XLR DUAL
with an SACD on the disc tray. It goes off when the unit is
turned off or a CD is loaded.

The ES-LINK is an Esoteric-exclusive format that makes SACD
digital output possible. Data from SACD is automatically
transmitted in the ES-LINK format when you switch the P-01
to the XLR DUAL output with the ES-LINK-ready D/A
converter D-01 connected to the XLR connector on the P-01.
