Venerable Japanese high-end audio specialist's D-06u CD/SACD player, C-700u stereo preamplifier and M-700u stereo power amplifier offer a crisp, classic look and feel and remain true to their heritage whilst embracing the requirements of modern music lovers.
The D-06u has been painstakingly designed to make the most of both CDs and SACDs, whilst also offering coaxial, optical and asynchronous USB inputs for external digital sources, thus enabling them to benefit from the player’s digital and analogue output circuitry. For disc playback, the LxDTM transport mechanism is a proprietary Luxman creation – a high-rigidity design constructed to block out external vibrations, with a die-cast aluminum loader for smooth, quiet, resonance-free operation. The player’s digital circuits incorporate a Burr-Brown PCM1792A D/A converter, supporting not only CD and SACD playback, but also PCM data up to 32-bit/384kHz and DSD data up to 5.64MHz via the USB input. The D/A converter chip combines with Texas Instruments’ TAS3152 32-bit digital signal processor, which upsamples PCM data to 384kHz and supplies three digital filter options for PCM, plus a pair of tone settings. The D-06u’s analogue output stage features audiophile-grade components in a fully balanced configuration with a regulated, high-inertia power supply. The player comes with dedicated "Luxman Audio Player" software for PC/Mac, enabling a wide range of digital audio formats to play through the D-06u via the USB input, including FLAC, ALAC, WAV, AIFF, MP3, DSF and DSIDIFF.
C-700u stereo preamplifier features Luxman’s fourth-generation ODNF (Only Distortion Negative Feedback) amp circuit, which restricts feedback to distortion components only, thus greatly enhancing signal-to-noise performance. This is directly coupled to the LECUA 1000 attenuator circuit, trickled down from the flagship C-900u preamp, allowing an extremely fine degree of volume control and left/right balance adjustment. The C-700u includes precision bass and treble tone adjustment, a loudness control for low-level listening, a line straight button that bypasses the tone controls, and phase selection for the balanced inputs. In terms of connectivity, the C- 00u offers seven line-level inputs (five single-ended RCA and two balanced XLR), plus four line-level outputs (two single-ended and two balanced). Also present are a monitor input and a record output RCA terminals, an external preamp input for integration with an AV system, and two remote output terminals for integrated system control.
The M-700u power amp is rated at 120W per channel into 8 ohms and 210W per channel into 4 ohms, achieving up to 840W per channel into 1 ohm instantaneously. There is also a user-selectable mono mode with a rated output of 420W into 8 ohms. To achieve this level of power without sonic compromise, Luxman has implemented its ODNF 4.0 drive circuit utilizing a four-parallel push-pull power stage with three-stage Darlington circuitry. In classic Luxman style, the M-700u sports two illuminated VU meters and offers both single-ended RCA and balanced XLR inputs, heavy-duty speaker binding posts, switches for stereo/mono modes and phase inversion, plus a remote input terminal for custom installations.
