ERC-3
Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Emotiva ERC-3 Differential Reference™ CD Player and
Digital Transport. The ERC-3 combines a high-quality digital CD transport and a superb
balanced DAC (digital-to-analog converter) in one convenient and attractive package. The
advanced engineering, quality construction, and powerful laser engine in the ERC-3 ensure true
audiophile performance; whether you use the ERC-3 as a transport or as a complete audio source
component.
On the outside, a solid-aluminum face plate and new blackout trim contribute to the ERC-3’s
modern “Gen2” design aesthetic and the reinforced and isolated steel chassis delivers rugged
reliability and prevents any external influences from interfering with your listening experience.
The precision tray-loading disc mechanism handles your discs gently and carefully, and is
automatically lit by soft blue illumination so you can see to load and unload discs in a darkened
room. Control is provided via either the full function solid metal remote control or the front panel
transport buttons.
Inside, extra shielding and mass loading provides even more protection against interference,
vibration, and jitter. A well filtered multi-stage supply powers the digital circuitry and analog
circuitry and the new upgraded DAC, allowing the ERC-3 to deliver truly phenomenal audio
quality.
Whether you use the ERC-3 as a precision bit-perfect digital CD transport, or connect the analog
output of its advanced DAC to your preamp, we’re certain the ERC-3 will elevate your CD listening
experience to the next level.
The Emotiva Team.
