Luxman D03X vs D10X

Folks,

I have been seriously contemplating moving from Luxman D03X to Luxman D10X.. But before I do such a thing, I'd like to do thorough research and any help or advice from someone who have owned these or not, would be great. Here are some spec details. The D03X uses Texas Instruments PCM1795 DA chips with SNR of 123db and a sample max rate of 200Khz resolution of 32bits. The D10X employs ROHMs BD34301EKV DA chips with SNR of 130db and a sample maxx rate of 768Khz and resolution of 32bits. How much of audible difference would these make? also the D10X support SACD decoding.. thanks in advance..

Same question: is the correct USB cable Type A to Type B? Did you upgrade to a D-10x Reference Player?

I hope that you continue to enjoy your D-03x this Fall. Question: if using the USB input/output, which type of Cable Type A to Type B? Or, one of the other configurations?

 

Happy Listening!

Thank You for the update. At its price-point on demo/used, the D-03x, cannot be beaten. Enjoy the Music.

In my auditions, I found the ARC CD9 slightly more musical than the D-03x. Very subtle in presentation and sound. To date I have not auditioned the CD9SE nor D-10x.  At this level of price and performance, it is a matter of taste. It is too bad that ARC never delved into SACD playback.

 

Happy Listening!
