Luxsin Audio has entered the high-fidelity market with the introduction of the Luxsin X9, a versatile device that combines a headphone amplifier and a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). Developed by the seasoned team behind Eversolo Audio, Luxsin leverages extensive expertise to deliver a product that caters to audiophiles seeking both performance and precision in their desktop audio setups.
The Luxsin X9 is engineered to handle high-resolution audio with support for PCM up to 32-bit/768 kHz and DSD files up to DSD512. Incorporating a robust digital signal processor (DSP), the X9 offers specialized correction curves tailored to a wide range of headphones, ensuring optimal sound reproduction. Additionally, the device features automatic impedance detection, allowing the output stage to adjust dynamically for the best performance based on the connected headphones.
Design-wise, the X9 showcases a sophisticated color information display equipped with VU meters, enhancing both functionality and aesthetic appeal. The four-inch screen provides detailed visual feedback, complementing the device’s technical capabilities. Connectivity options are comprehensive, including an HDMI port with Audio Return Channel (ARC) support. However, it should be noted that the X9 does not include built-in streaming capabilities, focusing instead on delivering pristine audio conversion and amplification.
The analog output stage employs an R2R volume control system, utilizing a high-precision resistor network activated by relays for seamless volume adjustments. For headphone connections, the X9 offers multiple options: an unbalanced 6.35 mm jack, a balanced 4.4 mm Pentaconn, and a 4-pin XLR, catering to diverse audiophile preferences and setups.
Currently, details regarding the release date and pricing of the Luxsin X9 remain undisclosed. However, enthusiasts can anticipate its debut at the upcoming World of Headphones 2025 in Heidelberg, where Luxsin Audio will showcase the X9 alongside other premium audio offerings. This launch signifies Luxsin’s commitment to delivering high-quality desktop audio solutions backed by a team with a proven track record in the industry.
