The Luxman D-03X combines traditional Red Book CD playback with an advanced hi-res DAC circuit, featuring full MQA decoding, support for high-resolution PCM up to 32-bit/384 kHz and DSD up to 11.2 MHz via USB. It employs dual Texas Instruments PCM1795 32-bit DACs in monaural mode for left and right channels, ensuring precise digital-to-analog conversion and subtle micro-dynamics. The robust CD transport uses a steel top plate, 8mm thick aluminum base, shielded sub-chassis, and loop-less structure for stable, quiet playback. A massive power transformer, independent regulators, large filter capacitors, and loop-less shielded chassis minimize noise and ensure stable voltage. It offers balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA analog outputs, plus USB, coaxial, and optical digital inputs and outputs. The vacuum fluorescent display includes zoom and dimmer functions, with multi-colored LED for MQA status. Accessories include the RD-28 aluminum remote control. Launched in 2020, it delivers refined, engaging sound with excellent rhythmic snap and musicality.
