Luxman DA-07
Little is documented about the Luxman DA-07 as a standalone component, and nearly everything known about it comes from a single period source. Here is what the record shows. The DA-07 was an outboard digital-to-analog converter designed to pair with Luxman's DP-07 compact disc player. The transport itself needed this external DAC to function. HiFI-Stereo (December 1987, p.93) reported the DA-07 weighed 62 pounds and carried a price around $5,710 at the time of the Japan Audio Fair, where the pair was displayed.
That is about all the record holds. No specification sheets survive in the research for the DA-07. No frequency response, signal-to-noise figures, supported sample rates, or input/output types are stated anywhere. No circuit topology or construction details are recorded, and no production years or launch context have been confirmed. The single current market data point is a $380 asking price from one listing. Treat it as anecdotal, not as an established collector value.
The DA-07 represents Luxman's late-1980s approach to separating digital transport from conversion. The DAC sat in a physically substantial chassis, and 62 pounds is remarkable even by the standards of the era's high-end separates. Beyond that, the archive's record is thin.
Known facts, in brief:
- Outboard D/A converter, designed to be used with the Luxman DP-07 CD transport
- Weight: 62 lbs
- Period price: approximately $5,710 (Japan Audio Fair display, late 1987)
- No further specifications documented
