As the group’s dedicated brand for the desktop audio sector, Luxsin benefits from the shared technological resources, patents, and service systems within the Zidoo Group. This synergy empowers Luxsin with robust R&D capabilities, ensuring exceptional product quality and comprehensive support for users.
X9: Luxsin’s First Reference-Grade DAC & Headphone Amplifier
After two years of meticulous research and development, Luxsin officially unveils its first desktop audio product - the X9, is a reference-grade all-in-one device that integrates DAC, headphone amplifier, and preamplifier functions. Beyond offering exceptional fundamental performance, the X9 incorporates a series of industry-first technologies independently developed by Luxsin, delivering unparalleled audio quality and distinctive character.
Premium DAC Architecture
At the heart of the X9 is the cutting-edge AK4499EX + AK4191EQ DAC chipset combination, paired with the third-generation XMOS 316 audio processor. This configuration delivers faster processing speeds and significantly higher USB bandwidth, effectively minimizing distortion and noise while ensuring pristine and faithful audio output.The USB input supports up to DSD512 Native and PCM 768kHz at 32-bit, while optical and coaxial inputs support DoP64 and PCM 192kHz at 24-bit, fully satisfying the demands of audiophile-grade digital audio playback.
Exclusive HP-EQ Technology
One of the X9’s groundbreaking innovations is its proprietary HP-EQ (Headphone Equalization) technology, which performs real-time hardware-level EQ adjustments based on the specific frequency response characteristics of connected headphones. This enables a sound signature closely aligned with the ideal Harman curve, providing an audio experience that resonates with a wide range of listener preferences.Supports creating and sharing custom EQ settings, allowing for seamless one-click switching between multiple profiles. Database currently supports over 2500 headphone models and continues to expand.
Automatic Headphone Impedance Detection
Luxsin’s self-developed impedance detection system automatically measures the impedance of connected headphones via the 6.35mm or 4.4mm ports and intelligently recommends the most suitable output gain setting. Utilizing advanced bypass detection technology, this system ensures precise impedance measurement with zero impact on sound quality.
Advanced Crossfeed and Adjustable Soundstage
The X9 integrates sophisticated digital crossfeed processing to recreate a more natural, speaker-like listening experience. This feature significantly reduces auditory fatigue during prolonged sessions while maintaining musical coherence. Additionally, users can fine-tune the perceived soundstage, customizing spatial presentation and depth.Both features are implemented via digital processing, ensuring precise control without introducing the distortion or coloration often associated with analog solutions.
Fully Balanced Signal Path
The X9 employs a fully balanced differential circuit design throughout its entire signal path, from signal input decoding (AK4499EX DAC) to OP1612 IV conversion, LPF filtering, R2R volume control, dynamic negative feedback, and the 6120A2 headphone amplifier. Featuring a high-precision resistor network for volume control, it ensures 0.1dB left-right channel balance accuracy, facilitating precise stereo imaging and delivering a more balanced, immersive auditory experience.
Dynamic Negative Feedback (DNF) Technology
Luxsin’s Dynamic Negative Feedback (DNF) technology, utilizing the OPA1612 and TPA6120A2 combination, plays a critical role in reducing harmonic distortion and intermodulation distortion. This results in exceptional clarity and transparency, ensuring that every note and detail is faithfully reproduced. By significantly minimizing distortion, DNF technology enhances the overall dynamic range and purity of the sound, providing a more detailed and lifelike listening experience.
Ultra-Low Noise Linear Power Supply
The X9 features an ultra-low noise linear power supply that ensures a stable and clean power source for the system’s circuitry. With a noise floor as low as 40nV and a star-grounded voltage distribution circuit, the X9 effectively isolates digital and analog voltage paths, preserving the integrity of the audio signal. This meticulous design ensures exceptional clarity, precision, and stability, enhancing the overall audio performance.
Dual Femtosecond Oscillators
The X9 integrates two ultra-high-precision femtosecond crystal oscillators (49.1520MHz / 45.1584MHz) to minimize phase noise and clock jitter. This ensures stable and accurate timing throughout the signal processing chain, contributing to precise and faithful audio reproduction. With these advanced oscillators, the X9 achieves a higher level of transparency and naturalness in sound, capturing every nuance of the original recording.
4.0-Inch Full HD Touchscreen with Intuitive Control
Equipped with a 4.0-inch 1080P full-color touchscreen, the X9 offers a vivid, high-resolution display for smooth and intuitive interaction. The diamond-cut bevel design of the front panel, set at a 15° incline, not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also improves ergonomic touch control. The full CNC-machined aluminum chassis ensures excellent heat dissipation, durability, and a sleek, elegant appearance.
Real-Time VU Meter Visualization
The X9 features a dynamic VU meter that visually captures every subtle fluctuation in the audio, providing a real-time graphical representation of the sound. With multiple VU meter styles to choose from, users can personalize their visual experience while enjoying the music.
Premium Component Selection for Exceptional Sound Quality
Every component in the X9 has been carefully selected for its superior performance. Featuring high-end German WIMA capacitors, premium aluminum electrolytic capacitors, green non-polar capacitors, and 0.1% high-precision low-temperature-coefficient resistors, the X9 is designed for optimal audio fidelity. Additionally, gold-plated connectors and OCC silver-plated cables further enhance signal integrity, ensuring the purest, most transparent sound reproduction.
Advanced RTOS for Efficient Audio Management
The X9 operates on an automotive-grade RTOS System, providing efficient management of various input and output interfaces. This ensures stable and smooth audio transmission, optimizing the device’s performance across all use cases. In addition to the included infrared wireless remote control, the X9 supports wireless operation via smartphone or computer, offering a convenient and flexible user experience. OTA firmware updates are also supported, ensuring that the product continues to evolve and improve over time.
Comprehensive Connectivity for Versatile Integration
The X9 is equipped with an extensive range of connectivity options, including HDMI ARC, optical, coaxial, analog inputs, USB-B/USB-C, 12V trigger ports, and dual subwoofer outputs. This allows for seamless integration into various audio setups, providing flexibility for both home and professional audio environments. As a reference-grade DAC, headphone amplifier, and preamplifier, the X9 delivers exceptional signal control and dynamic audio performance, setting a new standard in desktop audio.
