All our products are covered by Italian warranty.
The LUXMAN D-10X is based on the acclaimed D-08u, adding new playback capabilities, the latest conversion technology, a reinforced mechanism, and a refined analog output stage. This model introduces the original LxDTM-i transport mechanism developed by LUXMAN and features the world premiere of the ROHM Semiconductor MUS-IC™ BD34301EKV digital-to-analog converter.
The D-10X also debuts with ODNF-u – Only Distortion Negative Feedback (ultimate), a fully balanced output amplifier designed to minimize distortions and improve error detection accuracy. This results in greater sound expressiveness, with enhanced microdynamics across the entire audio spectrum, especially in the higher frequencies. The outcome is a natural, smooth waveform, free of traditional output filters, thanks to the custom-designed 1st order and 3-band filter technology within the circuit.
To minimize distortions caused by vibration and resonance, the disc drive has been upgraded and enclosed in a robust LxDTM-i mechanism, consisting of 8 mm thick aluminum side panels that extend to the front and rear panels, along with a 5 mm steel top plate. The physical mounting system forms an integrated structure that supports the side frame, working together with the improved disc reading mechanism to ensure higher-quality playback.
The D-10X is equipped with MQA (Master Quality Authenticated), an award-winning British technology that reproduces the sound of the original master recording. The player supports MQA-CDs and MQA audio files up to 24-bit via USB, optical, and coaxial inputs.
Regarding power, the D-10X provides extraordinary stability due to the increased transformer capacity, which is 27% higher than the previous model, and the use of independent regulators for each circuit, with large-capacity filter capacitors to ensure maximum stability.
LUXMAN engineers’ attention to detail is also evident in the circuits, using thick 100 μm copper foil, gold-plated connections, and removal of solder mask masking. Additionally, the wiring design features a gentle curve to promote smoother signal flow.
The RCA outputs are gold-plated and made from an alloy that combines copper conductivity with brass durability, while the balanced outputs feature Neutrik XLR terminals. The density gradient cast iron insulator feet provide solid support, diffusing shelf-borne resonance.
To ensure complete connectivity, the D-10X offers one coaxial input, two optical inputs, and a USB input that supports both DSD and PCM. Additionally, the USB transfer supports four Bulk Pet® modes to optimize processor load and improve transparency.
The fluorescent display is easily readable from the listening position thanks to the 4X zoom function, while a three-color indicator shows the decoding status for MQA CDs and files: Studio (blue), Authentic (green), and Renderer (magenta).
The aluminum remote control, with the same sandblasted white finish as the player’s front panel, allows control of the device without leaving the listening position. Furthermore, the LUXMAN Audio Player software, compatible with Windows and macOS, enables playback of FLAC, ALAC, WAV, AIFF, MP3, DSF, and DSDIFF files and is available for download from the official LUXMAN website.
