Incorporates an SC Cut ultra-low phase noise OCXO and satellite-grade naked foil resistors to provide an exceptionally stable 10MHz reference signal. Driven by a massive 200VA non-negative feedback power supply, this precision generator effectively eliminates digital jitter to enhance timing accuracy. A single SMA output and a vibration-isolating, non-rigid housing design ensure absolute signal purity for a more lifelike soundstage.

Description

Soulnote X-3

CLOCK GENERATOR – available in Premium Silver / Premium Black

Born out of discovery of World-first designing principle. It's an incredible breakthrough in designing Clock generator.

TECHNOLOGY

SC Cut ultra low phase noise OCXO

The X-3 incorporates an SC Cut ultra low phase noise OXCO (thermostatic bath-type crystal oscillator) selected for its unprecedented sound quality.

Naked foil resistors

As they greatly impact clock sound quality, the output resistors employ naked foil resistors adapted from artificial satellite grade ultra-high precision resistors, with exceptional thermal properties and low thermal noise, and then further customized. We believe that at this stage, this is where extraordinary resistors are most effective.

SMA output terminal

The output clock signal originates from an SMA terminal with specs above 20 GHz. Only one output is provided for the ultimate in sound quality. The X-3 is supplied with an SMA–SMA 50ohm dedicated clock cable, but we highly recommend using the optional RCC-1 clock cable. Relive music that unleashes the ambiences of the soul.

non-NFB power supply

A high-capacity 200 VA toroidal transformer normally used in 100 W power amps provides an abundant power supply to drive the crystal oscillator. The rectifier diode relies on newly adopted ultra high-speed SiC diodes. The rectifier group is composed of numerous low-magnification, small-capacity electrolytic condensers connected in parallel, while the regulator incorporates SOULNOTE’s unique non-NFB discrete power supply.

Quiet power supply domain

All unnecessary circuits like power supply LEDs, relays, etc. have been stripped from the crystal oscillator to provide a super-quiet power supply domain.

Housing prioritizing sound quality

The X-3 housing adopts unique new design. The housing consolidates features like air dump elimination through a dual non-rigid top plate, non-rigid AC inlets, non-rigid output terminals, three spike supports directly under the transformers, titanium washers, carbon washers, and more. Our core expertise has developed sound of the highest quality.

Why Choose Soulnote

Soulnote is a Japanese high-end audio manufacturer renowned for producing highly individual amplifiers and source components designed around speed, openness, and preserving the emotional energy within music. Founded by former Marantz Japan engineer Norinaga Nakazawa, Soulnote products deliberately challenge many conventional Hi-Fi engineering approaches in pursuit of a more immediate, dynamic, and musically alive presentation.

What makes Soulnote particularly distinctive is the company’s philosophy of minimising mechanical and electrical constraint throughout the signal path. Rather than excessively damping components or pursuing ultra-measured sterility, Soulnote designs focus heavily on energy flow, transient freedom, and preserving the natural movement and timing within recordings. The result is a sound that feels remarkably open, spacious, and emotionally engaging.

At HeyNow Hi-Fi, Soulnote products stand apart for their ability to combine extraordinary resolution and speed with a highly organic and immersive musical presentation. There is an effortlessness and vitality to the sound that can make many conventional electronics feel comparatively restrained or mechanically controlled.

Signature Design and Sound

Manufactured in Japan, Soulnote products are engineered around fully discrete analogue circuits, non-NFB (negative feedback) amplifier architectures, oversized linear power supplies, floating mechanical structures, and highly refined grounding implementations designed to minimise energy storage and preserve transient realism.

One of the defining aspects of Soulnote’s philosophy is the company’s rejection of excessive mechanical damping. Components within the chassis are often deliberately allowed to “float” mechanically rather than being rigidly constrained, based on the belief that excessive damping can suppress musical energy and natural dynamic expression. This gives Soulnote products a very distinct engineering identity within high-end audio.

The A-0, A-1, and A-2 integrated amplifiers showcase this philosophy beautifully. Despite their relatively compact and elegant appearance, these amplifiers deliver exceptional speed, current capability, and dynamic realism together with remarkable transparency and tonal purity. The presentation feels highly open and holographic, with impressive image separation and transient articulation while still retaining body and musical coherence.

The E-2 Version 2 phono preamplifier has become especially admired amongst analogue enthusiasts due to its extraordinary flexibility and refinement. One of its major strengths is the extensive cartridge equalisation and loading capability available within the design, allowing precise optimisation across a wide range of moving coil and moving magnet cartridges. This level of adjustability allows customers to extract significantly greater performance and tonal balance from their analogue systems while tailoring the interface more accurately to individual cartridge behaviour.

Sonically, Soulnote products are known for their speed, dimensionality, and remarkably free-flowing musical presentation. Instruments and vocals emerge with exceptional openness and low-level detail retrieval, while the soundstage feels expansive, layered, and highly immersive without becoming analytical or emotionally detached.

Soulnote Product Range

The Soulnote range available through HeyNow Hi-Fi includes integrated amplifiers, DACs, CD players, network transports, phono preamplifiers, and reference-level analogue electronics designed for listeners seeking maximum musical openness and dynamic realism.

Products including the A-0, A-1, A-2, and E-2 Version 2 showcase the company’s highly individual engineering philosophy and commitment to preserving musical energy and emotional communication throughout the playback chain.

At HeyNow Hi-Fi, Geoff and his experienced analogue and system setup team provide assistance with amplifier matching, cartridge integration, analogue optimisation, and complete system configuration to ensure Soulnote products perform at their full capability within each customer’s listening environment.
