We have recently received this new CD model from Luxman and, as expected, this closely resembles Luxman’s flagship D-10X. The D-07X shares its luxurious build quality in a slightly smaller in height chassis.
The D-07X majors on a wide and deep soundstage which is a prime consideration for our portfolio of products. This is a characteristic with all Luxman products and it is obvious this model has trickle down technology from the D-10X CD player. Tone and timbre are accurately demonstrated, allowing for very realistic renditions of instruments with piano being delivered in a particularly natural way. Vocals have lots of micro-detail, which allows for a closer emotional connection to the artist. Dynamics are first rate with transients being delivered with real speed and attack. The overall presentation is rich and satisfying and will work within a wide range of systems.
The D-07X is closer in quality to the D-10X, but is a significant step up from the D-03X, unsurprising considering the price differentiation. Compared to the D-10X, the D-07X has a slightly more forward presentation but still very much a holographic presentation typical of Luxman. The D-10X, one of our reference players, still delivers more resolution of the finest nuances and textural information but the D-07X is close but at a significantly lower price point of £10,000.
Both the
D-10X and the
D-07X use the same DAC chips in dual mono configuration. For the major differences please read
