DACs — Luxman DA-07X

The DA-07X is a digital-to-analogue converter from Luxman, built around the well-regarded ROHM BD34301EKV conversion chip with exceptional format support and measured performance. The DA-07X brings Luxman's considered engineering to standalone digital conversion.

Key specs that matter

The ROHM BD34301EKV conversion chip handles digital-to-analogue conversion, a well-regarded chip known for accomplished measured performance. DSD compatibility reaches DSD 22.5MHz, with PCM support up to 32-bit/768kHz - comprehensive format support. Frequency response spans a wide 5Hz to 47,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Signal-to-noise ratio reaches an exceptional 124dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise at an exceptionally low 0.001% at 22kHz. At 440 x 92 x 402mm and 12.8kg, the DA-07X maintains a substantial chassis consistent with Luxman's build-quality standards.

Sound and use context

Expect exceptionally clean, detailed conversion reflecting the extraordinary 124dB signal-to-noise and near-immeasurable 0.001% distortion figures, combined with the comprehensive DSD/PCM format support.
