Experience Next-Level Streaming: Introducing the Grandioso N1T
The new era of high-quality streaming has arrived, and with it, a new benchmark for performance: the Grandioso N1T, the first high-end streaming transport in the prestigious Grandioso series. Designed to deliver streaming playback at its absolute finest.
Grandioso N1T combines cutting-edge Esoteric unique technology with Esoteric’s unrivaled craftsmanship, and a new-generation network engine featuring support for an SFP port and boasting powerful processing capabilities that ensure a level of sound quality worthy of the Grandioso name. The engine and audio circuitry are meticulously engineered for complete isolation, safeguarding signal purity. Independent linear power supplies for each circuit elevate the experience further, producing sound that is strikingly smooth, lifelike, and reminiscent of the feeling of vinyl playback.

You can build a complete Grandioso stack consisting of six units - Grandioso N1T, P1X SE, D1X SE and G1X - for the ultimate omni-digital source system. Pair it with the Grandioso D1X SE flagship monoblock DACs for the ultimate three-unit flagship-level streaming experience, connect it to the Grandioso K1X SE, or pair it with your favorite DAC.
Your Gateway to the World of Music: From the comfort of your listening chair, the Grandioso N1T gives you access to all the music in the world. Stream effortlessly and experience a dreamlike, luxurious music journey with breathtaking sound quality.

Flagship 3-Chassis Streamer
Grandioso Flagship 3-Chassis Streamer
The Grandioso N1T, combined with two D1X SE mono DACs, is Esoteric's ultimate 3-chassis streamer. The ES-Link5 connection using two HDMI cables and the complete separation of the left and right D/A circuits provide excellent resolution, channel separation and noise-free, pure playback quality. The system has a total of seven independent power supplies, and this system offers a three-dimensional, dynamic sound with analog purity at the highest level.
ES-Link5 is a unique Esoteric digital interface that provides ultra-wideband digital transmission. It uses two HDMI cables to transmit the left and right channels separately, and supports wideband transmission up to DSD 22.5MHz. Utilizing the multi-strand structure of HDMI, it transmits each signal of "Audio Data", "LR Clock" and "Bit Clock" in a fully balanced manner. Unlike normal digital transmission, it does not require the signal modulation process on the sending side or the demodulation process on the receiving side, and this innovative approach significantly reduces the digital processing load on the DAC, ensuring superior sound quality.

A Network Solution that Reveals the Full Potential of the Grandioso K1X SE
By connecting the N1T to the K1X SE, you can enjoy both Super Audio CD and network sources, taking full advantage of the outstanding sound quality of the K1X SE's built-in Master Sound Discrete DAC. The N1T's USB output is a dedicated audio output terminal, and like the ES-Link5, it is completely isolated from the network engine and powered by a dedicated audio power supply.
The USB port supports digital audio playback up to DSD 22.5MHz and PCM 768kHz/32bit, making it compatible with a variety of high-end DACs equipped with USB connectivity. Additionally, the N1T features two additional digital outputs (XLR × 1, RCA × 1).
