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?

 

Happy Listening!

If someone already has a D03x and is looking to move up the luxman chain, I would recommend cross-shopping with something like the TAD D1000/mk2 in a similar price bracket. Brands like Luxman try to implement/retain a certain type of house sound as you go up the chain and your "upgrade" is not going to be all that different from what you already have. With a TAD, you could add another different/unique sonic flavor (especially if you are going to keep the D03x/not sell it..i mean..don't sell it).

I am not using the USB input/output.

I only listen to CDs.

The Invert Phase button is very useful!

Happy listening!

Not only do I use the Invert Phase button on every disc, I use it at the beginning of every song. Even on the  same album some songs require it, some don't. I can tell usually within a few seconds if it's needed or not.

I can't imagine life without it now that I've heard the difference it makes.
