Esoteric Grandioso N1T – Top High-End Streamer

Esoteric has unveiled the Grandioso N1T – the first streamer (network transport) in the company’s flagship series. The Esoteric Grandioso N1T is a perfect match for the flagship Grandioso D1X SE monoblock DACs and the Grandioso K1X SE Super Audio CD player. Sales of the new product will begin in March 2025.

The Esoteric Grandioso N1T network transport combines Esoteric technology with a new generation network processor that supports an SFP network optical port. By connecting the Grandioso N1T to an external network device (such as a switch) using an SFP module and fiber optic cable, you can isolate the audio signal from network noise.

The Esoteric Grandioso N1T also features independent linear power supplies (network/audio/control) with separate toroidal power transformers for each circuit. The 4th generation Esoteric Network Engine G4 provides support for DSD 22.5 MHz playback. ES-Link5 is also available (Esoteric's patented ultra-wideband HDMI cable connection to Esoteric DAC models).

The Esoteric Grandioso N1T allows the connection of two USB drives at once and has an ultra-high-precision clocking circuit "on board" (external clocking is also available via the Grandioso G1X). Streaming clients Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify are built-in, the streamer also supports Roon.

A multi-layer chassis and improved vibration-isolating mounts are the icing on the cake.
