Building on the platform of the award winning D-08, LUXMAN are proud to release the D-05 digital music player. It also employs Luxman's own proprietary Drive Mechanism - LxDTM.
The D-05 is a music source reproduction system that has been developed by integrating various new techniques and a large amount of know-how for the purpose of sound quality improvement, and greater music enjoyment. Relying on technology & musical sensibilities acquired over 80 years since LUXMAN's foundation. We have gone back to our fundamental objectives, namely:
“Mechanism,
Digital Circuitry,
Analog Output Stage Circuitry”
that we feel constitutes a remarkable digital music player

The long-awaited LUXMAN original disk drive mechanism has been designed from the groud up, using the concept of a rigid transport mechanism assembly, accurate reading of digital information, and reducing the noise floor during operation, and has been equipped with a thin, aluminum die-cast type tray loader. In the digital section with as much as 132 dB (theoretical value) of tremendous dynamic range, Burr-Brown's PCM1792A is a monolithic CMOS integrated circuit that includes stereo digital-to-analog converters and support circuitry that uses TI’s advanced segment DAC architecture to achieve excellent dynamic performance and improved tolerance to clock jitter. It also supports both multi-bit and single-bit processing. Jitter has been reduced to 100ps or less compared with conventional converters and incorporates a 24-bit extender that increases the CD's dynamic range.
Leakage flux, heat generation and vibration of a power transformer are always a problem for audio engineers. The large scale R-core transformer is a unique type of core, designed and developed by Japanese engineers. These cores are manufactured in the conventional rectangular shape but the slitting is done by a special process, ensuring a high stacking factor. The special heat treatment, continuous strip and no gap ensure higher efficiency to the transformers.
Further LEAKAGE FLUX of the transformer IS VERY LOW (about 1/10th of conventional transformers), which permits the audio engineer to place the transformer close to critical electronic components, without corrupting the electronics with electro-magnetic interference. The balanced winding & low leakage flux ensure LOW NOISE from the transformer.
Digital Inputs are selectable from the front panel to improve the performance of a music server or other digital music sources. There is one Toslink and one SPDIF input.
Balanced drive has been thoroughly implemented in the DA converter output, and accordingly a large amount of sound data contained in the SACD will be reproduced to the full.
There is a very useful function in the lower LHS of the remote called ZOOM - this magnifies the size of the text used for track number and elapsed time, so that one can see the text from across the room.
The D-05 has both digital inputs and outputs shown above.
