Building on the legacy of the D-08u, Luxman have announced the new D-10X flagship SACD/CD player. Set for release in August 2020, the Luxman D-10X will house ROHM Semiconductor’s eagerly anticipated MUS-IC™ BD34301EKV DAC chip. The player also incorporates important new technologies in the disc transport and analog circuit.
LxDTM-i, Luxman Original Disc Transport Mechanism (improved)
Luxman engineers understand that exposing the disc transport to vibration and resonance can result in subtle distortion. To overcome this challenge, they substantially upgraded the company’s LxDTM disc drive. Made in Japan, the new LxDTM-i encloses the drive in 8 mm thick aluminum sides that extend to the front and rear panels, plus a 5 mm thick steel top plate. For added production, the physical mounting system forms an integrated structure that supports the side frame. An improved disc reading mechanism contributes to music playback of exceptional clarity.
MUS-IC BD34301EKV Converter
The D-10X marks the world premiere of the MUS-IC BD34301EKV digital-to-analog converter from ROHM Semiconductor. Like Luxman, ROHM is a Japan-based manufacturer with many decades of audio expertise. The converter reflects 28 separate parameters optimized for sound quality, including aspects of circuit design, layout, photomask, wafer production and packaging. For example, to optimize sound quality, selected “bonding” wires that connect the chip to the lead frame are made of copper, while others are made of gold. A 32-bit ΔΣ (Delta-Sigma) design, the converter achieves a phenomenal noise signal-to-noise ratio: -130 dB. The D-10X applies a pair of these converters in dual mono configuration, delivering a listening experience of unsurpassed musicality.
Versatile SACD, CD and MQA playback, Bulk PET file transfers.
In addition to two-channel SACD and CD media, the D-10X 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 D-10X incorporates 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 bit-rates, 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.
ODNF-u, Only Distortion Negative Feedback (ultimate) analogue circuit.
Negative feedback is an extremely powerful tool in analogue circuit design. But minuscule inaccuracies in the application of feedback can compromise the expressive power of music reproduction. For this reason, Luxman has developed and refined the Only Distortion Negative Feedback (ODNF) circuit, culminating in ODNF-u, which debuts on the D-10X. This fully balanced configuration maximizes error detection accuracy, for greater musical expression across the audio band. Tailored, gradual 1st order filter x 3 band processing achieves a natural waveform without the need for conventional output filters.
The D-10X has a clean, understated design finished in brushed aluminium and comes supplied with the matching RD-29 aluminium remote control. The front-panel fluorescent display has a zoom mode for easy reading from the ideal listening position. The D-10X will be available in August at a suggested retail price of £14,999.
