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.

The Missing Link to Tube-Like Analog Sound

The follow up to the legendary, revolutionary X10D, the X-Tube drastically improves any digital and analog source. The X-Tube has a clean, high impedance tube input, meaning it won’t put as much strain on the output drive capabilities of connected source devices. Regular line inputs on most amplifiers are usually more demanding and cheap output stages will struggle. On the output side, the X-Tube’s clean, low impedance tube output buffer has plenty of drive and will not struggle with any low or high impedance amplifier input. The X-Tube is designed to be the reliable core of your system, enhancing modern streamers and keeping pace as digital technology rapidly evolves. 

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

Musical Fidelity X-Tube - $549
