A
landmark unit weighing... 27kg.
At
the center of this massive block of forward engineering was the
FLUENCY d/a section which was to "recreate" the upper
harmonics lost with digital formats and their necessary low-pass
filter - the DA-07 had no low-pass
filter and no digital filter either and was based on interpolation
theories to achieve its extended goal.
Of course, at 27 kilos and 400,000¥, there was more to the DA-07:
OFC epoxy boards, 70µ OFC tracks, 11 separate regulations,
two-chassis-rolled-into-one holding a 10-compartment structure for
absolute isolation, 18mm front plate, six digital inputs (3x coaxial,
2xTOS and 1x ST), two digital outputs (1x coaxial, 1x TOS) three
analog outputs (variable RCA, fixed RCA, fixed XLR), highly rigid
composite chassis, copper-plating and ultra componentry allover,
pure Class A throughout and more.
No
one would expect less from Luxman, but what remains rather strange
is that - albeit praised everywhere then- the DA-07
is... very very rare, just like its DP-07
companion.
