Luxman D-03R CD Player

LUXMAN’s D-03X sets a new standard by combining advanced digital decoding with time-honoured principles of design and engineering. This single digital player offers both traditional red-book CD playback and cutting-edge high-resolution decoding capabilities, including full MQA decoding. The D-03X is not merely a technical achievement—it embodies the accumulated wisdom of LUXMAN’s legacy in digital audio. With a rugged chassis, oversized power supply, and carefully selected components, it reproduces music with effortless musicality and enduring quality.

Precision Digital Decoding

At the heart of the D-03X lies an advanced digital architecture capable of extracting every nuance from your music. Supporting MQA-CDs and MQA files via USB, optical and coaxial inputs, it handles PCM data up to 384 kHz/32-bit and DSD files up to 11.2 MHz through USB. Bulk Pet high-resolution transfer modes enhance audio performance by reducing CPU load and improving signal stability. A high-precision, low-jitter master clock further refines the signal, ensuring clean, accurate playback with minimal phase noise.

Exceptional Engineering and Build Quality

True to LUXMAN’s heritage, the D-03X is meticulously engineered inside and out. The asymmetric mechanical layout places the CD transport to the left for optimal balance and vibration control. A solid aluminium base, steel top plate and loop-less chassis design shield sensitive components from external interference. The analogue stage features low-impedance circuitry and dual mono DACs for maximum fidelity, while both balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) outputs provide versatile connectivity. Every element has been chosen with performance and musicality in mind.

Advanced Components and Connectivity

The D-03X employs dual Texas Instruments PCM1795 32-bit DACs in a monaural configuration, preserving fine musical detail and dynamic expression. A full array of inputs and outputs makes integration easy: USB, coaxial, and optical digital inputs support a variety of high-resolution formats, while output options include gold-plated RCA and premium Neutrik XLR connectors. This flexibility ensures compatibility with a wide range of systems, whether you're streaming from a computer or playing physical discs.

Intuitive Use and Thoughtful Extras

LUXMAN ensures ease of use with a bright, legible fluorescent display enhanced by a zoom mode for distance viewing. MQA decoding status is clearly shown via a multi-coloured LED. The supplied aluminium remote control, finished to match the D-03X’s front panel, provides full access to playback functions and display settings. Additionally, the dedicated LUXMAN Audio Player software, available for Windows and MacOS, supports high-quality playback of popular audio file formats, enabling the full potential of USB audio performance from your personal library.
