LUXMAN’s first network transport NT-07. Combining the latest digital audio technology with LUXMAN’s know-how, the NT-07 uses a thoroughly audio-focused approach to curate a wide variety of available sources with superb sound quality and a sophisticated yet comforting operational environment. In addition to USB digital audio and HDMI connectivity, streaming data from NAS and other popular music streaming services provide a variety of options for the listener to experience a new dimension of breathtaking audio quality. The NT-07, which has been rigorously fine tuned for supreme audio playback quality, offers all listeners a new musical experience for the future in combination with existing D/A converters.
LUXMAN’s new NT-07 transport system creates an advanced network audio environment in combination with your D/A converter (USB, optical, or coaxial digital equipped models). The principal sound source options are NAS (Network Attached Storage), which supports the industry standard OpenHome platform, external USB storage directly connected to the main unit and a wide variety of popular music streaming services. The core processing stages are equipped with our latest generation of high-speed application processor modules that handle a wide range of complex functions effortlessly with satisfying operability.
Like all LUXMAN’s audio components, the NT-07 is designed with a high-quality audio focused approach. The power supply section is equipped with a large capacity, OI-type power transformer and a pair of custom made 10,000uF filter capacitors. Our typical, highly regulated power supply circuitry boasts high noise suppression and stability.
The NT-07’s USB subsystem supports the sampling frequencies, up to 768kHz/32bit for PCM files and 22.5MHz/1bit DSD data, and the optical/coaxial output achieves 192kHz/24bit PCM reproduction. There is also a built-in core decoding function for MQA format sound sources with three selectable modes, “off”, “core decoding” and “pass-through”, according to the connected D/A converter. The center of the front panel is equipped with a large, easy-to-read, high-definition EL display, conveying a variety of information such as the name of the song being played, artist name, elapsed time and the audio format of these selected source data.
Compatible with the OpenHome standard, the NT-07 can read sound source data stored on a dedicated music server or network attached storage (NAS), with supreme quality playback. By choosing an NAS with noise suppression and enhanced linear power supply, such as Melco Syncrets’ DELA which was developed as an audio device, or I-O DATA Equipment’s fidata, you can achieve even higher quality and convenience when accessing high resolution audio data. In addition, we have equipped the NT-07 with USB terminals on the front and rear (exclusive use of either) that allows you to connect USB drivers containing audio data without building a network environment.
