For example, each channel uses two ES9038PRO chips, for a total of four in the player. Originally purchased direct from Soulnote in Japan in September 2022 (a week before Australian distributor announced) : S-3 ver 2 SE SACD & CD Player (plus numerous Digital inputs) X-3 Clock Generator (10 MHz) RCC-1 Clock Cable S-3 ver 2 SE shipped back to Japan and replaced with new (current) S-3 ver 2 Reference in January 2023.
