The DA-250 is a digital-to-analogue converter from Luxman, built with comprehensive DSD format support and near-immeasurable distortion. The DA-250 brings Luxman's meticulous engineering to standalone digital conversion.
Key specs that matter
DSD compatibility reaches DSD 5.64MHz, with PCM support up to 32-bit/192kHz. Frequency response spans an exceptionally wide 2Hz to 50,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Output level is 2.5V on both balanced and single-ended connections. Output impedance is 600 ohms balanced or 300 ohms single-ended. Signal-to-noise ratio is an exceptional 118dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise at a near-immeasurable 0.001% at 22kHz. At 364 x 81 x 279mm and 5.4kg, the DA-250 maintains a manageable DAC chassis reflecting Luxman's meticulous engineering standards.
Sound and use context
Expect exceptionally clean, detailed conversion reflecting the exceptional 118dB signal-to-noise figure and near-immeasurable 0.001% distortion figure, consistent with Luxman's broader uncompromising engineering philosophy.
Pairing
Luxman's own E-250 phono stage shares a similarly compact chassis footprint for a coherently sized system.
Alternatives
Luxman's broader digital source catalogue offers alternatives for buyers wanting a different balance of features.
