The DA-150 is a digital-to-analogue converter from Luxman, sitting below the DA-06 in a considerably more compact chassis. The DA-150 brings Luxman's considered engineering to a space-efficient digital conversion format.
Key specs that matter
DSD compatibility reaches 5.64MHz (DSD128), matching the DA-06. PCM support reaches up to 32-bit/192kHz - more modest than the DA-06's 384kHz. Frequency response spans a wide 2Hz to 50,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Output level is 2.5V single-ended. Output impedance is 300 ohms single-ended. Signal-to-noise ratio is an exceptional 120dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise at 0.0012% at 22kHz. At 182 x 73 x 277mm and 3.3kg, the DA-150 maintains a more compact, accessible DAC chassis than the DA-06.
Sound and use context
Expect exceptionally clean, detailed conversion reflecting the exceptional 120dB signal-to-noise figure, packed into this considerably more compact chassis than the DA-06.
Pairing
Luxman's own amplifier catalogue, including the L-509Z, offers natural, brand-coherent pairings within the same broader catalogue.
Alternatives
Luxman's own DA-06 offers a more substantial alternative with wider PCM sample-rate support within the same broader digital source catalogue.
