The Luxman NT-07 is the company's inaugural network transport, released in 2024 to celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2025. It creates an advanced network audio environment by sourcing music from NAS (via OpenHome/UPnP), USB storage (front/rear ports), popular streaming services like Qobuz, TIDAL, Spotify, and TuneIn, and HDMI inputs from TVs, Blu-ray players, or game consoles with ARC support. Outputs digital audio via USB, optical, coaxial, and HDMI to external DACs. Features a high-speed application processor, reference-grade power supply with custom OI-type transformer and dual 10,000µF filter capacitors for low noise, vibration-damping chassis, intelligent resampling to match DAC capabilities, built-in MQA core decoding (off/core/pass-through modes), Roon Ready compatibility, high-definition OLED display showing track info, and control via Luxman Stream app (iOS/Android) or RC-30 IR remote (also controls other Luxman gear). No WiFi; Ethernet only. Emphasizes audio purity, naturalism, detail, and integration into high-end systems.
