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..

@jriggy I had the Tambaqui for three days, exquisite build and beautiful tonality. the issue that I had was I had to crank up the volume on it to the max to get all the details. The T+A DAC 200 on the other hand, is equally good in sonics and even at -20 and goes up to 0, it paired so nicely with the T+A PA3100HV and also with the Luxman C900U. The bass punch on the DAC 200 is more commanding and with symphonies, I felt the Tambaqui was a little subdued. Again, it's all with my system, Maybe the Tambaqui would be perfect with a different setup. And I enjoy being able to select the different filters and having more output selection, it made it easier to pick the DAC 200.. Please let me know, if you need any more specifics.. 

@rman9  I'm finding out the invert phase button is quite useful. I'm using it on about half my discs. Fills in the center image. Makes the stage seem more solid, with no loss in transparency.

How is the D-03x settling into your System?

 

Happy Listening!

Very nicely!

It sounds wonderful.

Love the "Invert Phase" button. Try it on every song. About half of the songs I've listened to sound better with it engaged.

Thank you for asking.
