For over a decade, IsoAcoustics has redefined what’s possible in acoustic isolation—earning a global reputation among audiophiles, engineers, and premium speaker brands alike. Now, IsoAcoustics is thrilled to introduce the next evolution in audio isolation: the GAIA Neo Series and the GAIA TITAN Neo Series. Building upon the award-winning legacy of the GAIA and GAIA-TITAN, these new series incorporate a highly-requested feature to elevate your sound with even greater clarity, focus, and spatial definition. Experience a new dimension of sonic purity from your speakers and audio equipment.

Key Fastures

  • Height Adjustment - The isolator can now be raised or lowered  without affecting its on-axis alignment just by rotating the lower ring
  • Simplified Installation - The top of the isolator housing sits flush against the bottom of the speaker, with an integrated O-ring that compresses for a secure fit
  • Enhanced Isolation - The Neo continues to build on IsoAcoustics’ industry leading technology, providing even greater isolation and sonic clarity

Heartfelt sound New criteria that redefines the standard.

The L-505Z is equipped with Luxman's “LIFES” high-quality amplification feedback engine, a feature integral to our next generation of amplifier designs. LIFES is based on the technical concept of our revolutionary ODNF feedback circuitry, which achieved excellent static characteristics without feeding back any of the musical input signal to the main amplifier, yielding a natural sound quality more akin to a non-feedback system. The circuit has been redesigned from scratch through multiple simulations. By combining carefully selected components and repeated listening tests, Luxman has achieved the ultimate performance and sound quality, truly worthy of being adopted for Luxmas’s next-generation home theater components.

Meet the Luxman D-03R CD Player & DAC

A Leap Beyond the D-03X

Introducing the NEW Luxman D-03R CD Player & DAC—a next-generation model that takes the beloved D-03X and advances it in every way. With major design and engineering upgrades, the D-03R is built for uncompromising performance.

The CD still remains a dominant format in the world of audio, even after 40 years, with a vast legacy as a physical medium — even as new high-resolution digital formats continue to emerge. For true audiophiles, the desire is to enjoy both, now and into the future. The Luxman D-03R is LUXMAN's new standard player for a new era, designed to fulfill that enduring passion.

What's New Compared to the D-03X

  • DAC Upgrade - Dual ROHM BD34352EKV DAC chips (vs. TI PCM1795 in the D-03X) deliver superior resolution and musicality.
  • Mechanism Stability - A 3.2mm thick steel mounting base (replacing aluminum in the D-03X) with a rigid box structure reduces vibrations for higher reading accuracy.
  • Amplifier Circuit - Fully balanced output amplifier with differential I/V conversion (vs. less advanced circuitry in the D-03X) ensures cleaner, more dynamic sound.
  • Power Supply - High-capacity block capacitors (6,600µF ×2) double the DAC power supply capacity of the D-03X, improving drive and stability.
  • Chassis Design - Composite, shielded chassis with optimized weight balance and separation of noise sources (an advancement from the D-03X layout).
  • Display - High-resolution OLED with zoom mode and dimmer (an upgrade from the D-03X's display) for improved readability.

Features:

  • Dramatically improves any digital and analogue source
  • Enhancement for budget digital/streaming/CD sources that use all-in-one chip designs and lack proper output stages
  • Ultimate impedance matching if used between preamplifier and amplifier 
  • Direct mains input, no external power supply allows for clean setup
