85FD
The highly acclaimed 192 kHz/32-bit ESS
SABRE Ultra DAC (ES9011) is adopted

to deliver exceptional sound, with ultra-low distortion and high
signal-to-noise ratio. It offers jitter-free performance for an
astounding audio reproduction with rich deep bass.
Large-Capacity Power Supply Transformer
88FD
The Blu-ray Disc player comes with a large capacity transformer
dedicated for audio with high response. As shown on right, the
analog and digital power supply pathways are separated, so as
to prevent digital noise from interfering with the audio circuit at
the power supply stage. This transformer, combined with
Pioneer-original select capacitors, constitute a power supply
circuit capable of high instantaneous current supply. The shield
case with copper plate and anti-vibration paint cuts out the
unwanted electromagnetic wave generated from the high
power transformer, in isolation from noise and vibration. The
embossing on the shield case also helps to suppress standing
waves within the case, thereby achieving sound quality with
both dynamic and silent features.
Acoustic Custom Capacitors and Other High-Grade Parts
88FD 85FD
High-grade parts such as exclusive capacitors co-developed
with a parts manufacturer and gold-plated terminals are used
for superior audio performance.
