Emotiva ERC-4

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Emotiva ERC-4 Differential Reference™ CD Player and Digital
Transport. The ERC-4 combines a high-quality digital CD transport and a superb balanced DAC
(digital-to-analog converter) in one convenient and attractive package. In addition to serving
as an audiophile CD player and transport, the ERC-4 also offers both Coaxial and Optical S/PDIF
(Toslink) digital audio inputs, so you can use it as a DAC in conjunction with any other digital
audio gear that includes a S/PDIF output.
On the outside, a solid-aluminum face plate and faceted black trim contribute to the modern
aesthetic of the ERC-4. On the inside, a heavy reinforced steel chassis delivers rugged reliability
and prevents external influences from interfering with your listening experience, and the
precision tray-loading disc mechanism handles your discs gently and carefully. Our cutting edge
switch mode power supply provides clean electrical power, with vanishingly low levels of audible
noise, and powers the presicion digital-to-analog conversion section, and high-performance
ultra-low-distortion analog circuitry. And, to top it all off, front panel buttons allow direct control
of all of the ERC-4's commonly accessed features, while our all-metal infrared remote control puts
command of the ERC-4 at your fingertips from across the room.
Whether you use the ERC-4 as a precision bit-perfect digital CD transport, as an audiophile CD
player, or use its superb DAC to upgrade the output of your whole home digital audio system, the
ERC-4 will elevate your digital audio listening experience to the next level.
The Emotiva Team.
