The venerable Japanese audio specialist has added a D-06u CD/SACD player, C-700u stereo preamplifier and M-700u stereo power amplifier to its roster. The D-06u offers coaxial, optical and asynchronous USB inputs for external electronic sources. For disc playback, the LxDTM transportation mechanism is a proprietary Luxman creation featuring a die-cast aluminium loader and a Burr-Brown PCM1792A DAC supporting PCM data up to 32bit/384kHz and DSD data up to 5.64MHz through the USB input. The player is sold with dedicated ‘Luxman Audio Player’ software for PC/Mac, allowing a broad selection of digital sound platforms to play through the D-06u via the USB input including FLAC, ALAC, WAV, AIFF, MP3, DSF and DSIDIFF. The C-700u preamp includes Luxman’s fourth-generation ODNF (Only Distortion Negative Feedback) amp circuit, straight coupled to the LECUA 1000 attenuator circuit trickled down from the flagship C-900u preamp plus a ‘line straight’ button that bypasses the included tone settings and stage selection for the balanced inputs. The M-700u stereo power amplifier is rated at 120W per channel. There can also be a user-selectable mono mode with a rated production of 420W.
