We love Luxman gear at PTA, but the gear has been so consistently excellent over the last few years that we haven’t been able get any of their products in for review. There’s a long waiting list, and the company is selling everything they make! The release of the new Luxman D-07X digital player ($9,995) is particularly exciting to us, because we’ve already heard the D-03X and the D-10X at high-end audio shows and they make a serious push for finest digital players on the market at their respective price points. Here’s the scoop on the Luxman D-07X, and the press release:
“The Luxman D-07X player supports MQA-CDs, MQA files, 32-bit/768 kHz PCM, 22.4 MHz DSD, conventional USB, and Bulk PET file transfer USB sources – all in addition to stereo SACDs and CDs. From the company’s flagship D-10X, the new player inherits key technologies including the LxDTM-i disc transport and ROHM MUS-IC™ BD34301EKV digital-to-analog converter. The D-07X replaces Luxman’s previous D-06u.”
The Luxman D-07X inherits the luxurious styling and outstanding performance of our flagship model, the D-10X. This advanced digital media player delivers overwhelming performance. It truly conveys the ambience and feeling of recorded music over a wide range of media, delivering the finest listening experience.
The Luxman D-07X plays a robust selection of file formats via USB inputs and the free LUXMAN Audio Player computer software. Available for Mac OS® and Windows® PCs, the software decodes WAV, FLAC, MP3, DSF, DSDIFF, ALAC and AIFF files. The USB input accepts PCM signals at up to 768 kHz sampling and up to 32-bit quantizing plus DSD signals at up to 22.4 MHz/1-bit sampling. Coaxial and optical inputs accommodate PCM digital audio up to 192 kHz/24 bits.
The Luxman D-07X features Master Quality Authenticated full decoding for MQA files and MQA-CDs. MQA audio files up to 24-bit are supported via USB, optical and coaxial inputs.
In addition to conventional, “isochronous” file transfers at fixed bitrates, the USB input supports two modes of Bulk Pure Enhanced Technology® (Bulk Pet®) high-resolution audio file transfer. This optimizes data packaging and delivery to the converter, easing the processing load for both the host CPU and the device CPU. This in turn reduces the workload between reading and reproduction, enhancing playback stability and improving sound quality.
