Luxman L-509Z Integrated Amplifier
Luxman has released its latest integrated amplifier, the L-509Z. This product combines a single-chassis separates concept with truly excellent performance to create a new flagship model that redefines the integrated amp.
Luxman Integrated Feedback Engine System (LIFES)
The L-509Z is the next step in the evolution of integrated amplifiers. It's Luxman's first model using a new feedback engine called LIFES (Luxman Integrated Feedback Engine System) for both its preamplifier and power amplifier sections—a system created to offer exceptional sound quality on all frequencies.
Electronically Controlled Attenuator (LECUA-EX)
Luxman has implemented a new volume control, the LECUA-EX attenuator system, which suppresses sound quality deterioration and makes it possible to achieve a more precise feel of operation. This innovative technology allows for integrated amplifiers that offer unprecedented performance for their class.
Highly Regulated Power Supply
The L-509Z is equipped with LUXMAN's traditional, highly stable power supply circuitry, featuring a bespoke, highly regulated 600VA EI transformer and newly developed large-capacity filter capacitors (10,000μF x 8).
High-Quality Phono EQ
The built-in high-quality phono equalizer circuit supports both MM and MC cartridges and features a new two-step gain switch to select between high and low MC settings. This accommodates a wider range of MC cartridges, enriching vinyl playback. A Mute button is now featured on the front panel.
Original Technology and Special Attention
Peel-coat circuit boards are used for the main audio signal path, eliminating the negative effects of the coating film that can adversely affect sound quality. Unique attention has been paid to every detail, such as the beeline construction, which configures circuits to take the shortest route possible, and a non-angled wiring pattern for smooth signal transmission.
Low-Impedance Transmission
Large, low-resistance speaker relays are connected in parallel to transmit the driving force from the substantial power supply and output circuitry. Internal, 3.5mm² ultra-thick cable is directly connected to the speaker terminals to ensure low impedance transmission, achieving a damping factor of 330.
VU Meters
Needle-movement analogue VU meters are a traditional design statement, proudly characterizing LUXMAN's solid-state integrated amplifiers. The L-509Z is equipped with two large meters, brightly backlit by LEDs, with sensitive response characteristics. The newly included 7-segment LED display between the meters shows the current attenuation amount and is easily visible from the listening position.
High-End Headphone Amplifier
In addition to the 6.3mm standard terminal, a 4.4mm terminal with independent left and right grounding has been added for pleasurable headphone enjoyment. Using balanced cable-equipped headphones improves L-R separation and localization, surrounding the listener with gorgeous three-dimensional sound.
High-Quality Input/Output Terminals
Original high-rigidity RCA terminals are used for LINE-1 and 2. Separate inputs and outputs for system expansion are provided with two pre-outputs. Two large speaker output terminals with independent on/off switching allow for bi-wire connectivity.

Luxman D-07X Super Audio CD Player
The latest model of MQA-compatible digital media player that inherits the high performance of the flagship D-10X.
Nurtured flagship pedigree: An over-engineered player for all your digital media.
Among the diverse audio sources of today, the CD and SACD remain important. The D-07X is equipped with digital circuits that support advanced high-format files and the latest DAC environment, delivering a supreme listening experience that conveys the temperature and atmosphere of music.
Advanced Digital Circuit
Following the flagship D-10X, the D-07X uses ROHM's top-end DAC chip BD34301EKV in a dual monaural configuration. The USB input supports up to 768kHz/32bit PCM and 22.4MHz DSD. It offers full MQA decoding on all inputs (CD, USB, COAX, and OPT). The clock features two high-precision, low-jitter modules to reduce noise. It also has a built-in 2-mode analog FIR filter for selectable sound quality with SACD/DSD files.
High Rigidity Drive Mechanism (LxDTM-i)
The D-07X employs an asymmetric left-side mechanical layout for the shortest signal paths and ideal weight balance. The disc drive is based on the original high-rigidity mechanism LxDTM-i, featuring a robust box structure that covers the entire mechanism and is mounted directly to the chassis to block external vibrations. This achieves high-precision and stable signal reading. The disc tray is made of die-cast aluminum, eliminating unnecessary vibration.
Power Supply Block with Increased Capacity
The power transformer capacity has been increased by 50% compared to the D-06u. An independent regulator block is installed for each circuit, and power is supplied via large-capacity block capacitors to build a traditional Luxman high-inertia power supply environment for clean and stable power.
Discerning Original Technology and Parts
The housing of the D-07X adopts a shield chassis structure that blocks digital noise. The legs are gradation cast iron to support the main body and protect delicate music signals from vibrations.
Abundant Input/Output Terminals
Analogue output is equipped with gold-plated RCA terminals and Neutrik shielded XLR terminals. The digital system includes a USB terminal supporting PCM/DSD input, and coaxial/optical input/output terminals supporting up to 192kHz/24bit PCM format.
Highly Visible Display
The highly visible FL display features a 4x zoom mode. During MQA playback, the decoding status is displayed with a three-color LED indicator (Studio: blue, Authentic: green, Renderer: magenta).

PD-151 MKII Belt Drive Turntable
Preserving the fragile beauty of analog music reproduction. The PD-151 MKII was developed for the music listener to fully enjoy the luxurious audio experience unique to analog.
Inheriting the PD-151A's excellent performance and functional beauty while featuring a new, highly sensitive original specification tonearm, the PD-151 MARK-II has arrived as a new benchmark for belt-drive integrated analog players. We deliver genuine analog vinyl playback excellence, inviting the listener into a world different from digital audio.
New tonearm with knife edge bearing
The PD-151 MARK-II is equipped with LUXMAN's original static balance tonearm, the LTA-309, featuring knife-edge bearing technology developed by SAEC. The machined aluminum arm base minimizes contact area to suppress unwanted vibration. In addition to basic adjustments like stylus pressure and anti-skating, the LTA-309 also supports arm height adjustment. The S-shaped tonearm employs an H4 bayonet mount headshell.
New High precision/High torque proprietary DC motor
Our unique sine wave/Pulse Width Modulation power supply provides ultra-stable direct current to our proprietary DC brushless motor. The drive system monitors and maintains speed with our Proportional-Integral-Differential (PID) feedback control loop. The motor drives the outside flange of the platter through a wide belt for stable 33⅓, 45, and 78 RPM playback with ±6% manual pitch control adjustment.
High-Mass platter and highly rigid stainless-steel spindle
The PD-151 MARK II has a 4.0kg platter precision machined from a thick aluminum billet then diamond-cut finished. The platter acts as a flywheel with a large moment of inertia to ensure smooth and stable rotation. The spindle is a highly rigid, 16mm diameter, hard stainless-steel shaft with a bearing structure that combines a PEEK thrust bearing and a brass radial bearing filled with molybdenum oil.
LUXMAN exterior design pursuing functional beauty
The top panel is made from 10mm thick aluminum with a delicate hairline finish. The component layout is narrowed down to the tone arm, drive motor, and platter. Operational controls are integrated into the front panel. A 4mm thick acrylic dust cover is available separately.
