Luxsin X9 Desktop DAC & Headphone Amplifier Officially Released !

[mrk]

Added 4x stick on rubber feet to increase the clearance by 1cm, much better now

I've been running all outputs in Bypass mode for a full day now just to see what the feeling is like without any EQ or effects enabled. As much as I like HP-EQ and some of the filter/effect options, I think on my specific headphones and speakers that a untouched signal from the source just sounds the most natural by just letting both speakers and headphones output how they work best with a given sound. HP-EQ makes the Arya's sound more bassy with an increase in the mids depending on the profile selected, but with bypass it just feels more natural even if it lacks some of the subtleties of HP-EQ.

Further experimentation to be done. My original verdict still stands, but the more I listen in Bypass mode, the more I prefer it for keeping things true to the source and just letting the speakers/headphones make the music more fun, as far as my personal tastes go.

@Luxsin, any plans to make the X9 available in Japan?

We will be selling in Japan, but the certification process for electronic products there takes quite a long time to complete

 

[Luxsin]

Thanks!

@Luxsin could I make a feature request? When turning off the LCD display only, for example when I am watching something and want no distractions at all, the volume dial LED pulses, normally this is fine as it's subtle but there should be an option to tell it to not pulse at all if you don't want it for a completely clean look

Also on the graphical EQ visualisation the format and sample rate doe not show up top whereas the other meters show it.

Thanks for the suggestion, we will look into these two requests.

I agree with you on some points...

From your preferred lake to Vienna it's not that far away.
If necessary, you could swim down the Danube or take a canoe. Back by Danube boat.

Noticed firmware 1.0.0.8 is out today, any change log details?

Edit*
The things I have noticed new in .8 are:

- Knob LED pulsing can be turned on/off
- Graphic EQ visualisation now shows format and sample rate like the other meters in the status bar

 

[Jenzbullets]

UK pricing structure, and UK official release information arriving in the next 12-14 days from Audioemotion.

 

[Xinlisupreme]

Any comparison with D&A Alpha pro?

I installed the Luxsin USB driver today (it's actually the Eversolo driver) and noticed the default sample rate is 44.1K at 32Bit whereas before the driver it was 48K 32bit. Is this right for others with this (or an Eversolo DAC) installed? I've also just done a Windows Update which installed a feature update so don't know if that had changed anything too.

For all these years I've been using the default a DAC chooses, which has always been 32bit 48K or 24bit 48K.

Might be one for @Luxsin to answer too on what's the recommended here.

The HP-EQ available for all inputs including RCA

What is the maximum native sample rate supported by the equalizer?
