I thought you said that ESP is compressed, unless there were last minute changes to production.hello , No bitrate change when ESP is on

AFAIK ESP is like a buffer to prevent skips, there's nothing to do with compressing audio data.I thought you said that ESP is compressed, unless there were last minute changes to production.
Yes, and since it exists I never thought the audio data could have been compressed just for storage, especially when ESP appeared in mid-90's on portable cd players.AFAIK ESP is like a buffer to prevent skips, there's nothing to do with compressing audio data.
Once again, here’s what Willson saidAFAIK ESP is like a buffer to prevent skips, there's nothing to do with compressing audio data.
Also, the notion that ESP has nothing to do with data compression is only true depending on the player. Take for instance this section from the manual for the Panasonic SL-SW860Hello I've reconfirmed, and so as not to misunderstand you, I thought I'd tell you that:
1, after ESP is opened, the file is compressed, the compression time is 60 seconds for CD format and 120 seconds for MP3 format.
2, when ESP is turned off, the audio stream will not be compressed.
So it is recommended to turn off the ESP switch in non-mobile scenarios to get a better listening experience.
I'm literally shockedOnce again, here’s what Willson said

English as a 2nd language. It's clear to me what he was trying to say, but didn't
What about “it is recommended to turn off the ESP switch in non-mobile scenarios to get a better listening experience.”? I’m not well versed in Chinese, but I don’t see how that could be a mis-translation of Chinese for “ESP does not affect the sound quality”.English as a 2nd language.

It's all good. Speculation by you or I is just that without a proper spec sheet to review. We'll find out soon I bet.What about “it is recommended to turn off the ESP switch in non-mobile scenarios to get a better listening experience.”?

I hope so. I’ve never seen a review video or article of a portable CD player that talks about how its ESP works.It's all good. Speculation by you or I is just that without a proper spec sheet to review. We'll find out soon I bet.
You're perfectly right, I can't see how it could be a misunderstanding then...Once again, here’s what Willson said

You are communicating really well. No worries!!!When ESP is on, the read data will be put into the cache first, and the cache will store 60 seconds of data to cope with the need for jitter
When we tested it with our audio analyzer AP-555, we found that when ESP is on, the CD player's distortion data will be slightly worse; and when ESP is off, the data will be back to normal.
This depends on the servo decoder chip.
In fact, portable products now only have this one chip to choose from, may be in this regard, he is a little worse than the previous chip, but he is the only left at present suitable for portable CD player master control. I can't get any more more in-depth info on ESP either.
I hope you don't get hung up on this technology, and if you don't like him, here's a switch you can turn off.

Yeah, I would also like to have some "reviewer's" or better, average user's feedback, As the first units have been despatched 2-3 weeks ago...Thanks @FiiO Willson - appreciate it’s not easy to communicate in a non-native language.
It’s weird that there seems to be no reviews out there yet.
