LUXMAN D-03R Compact Disc Player / USB DAC

The LUXMAN D-03R is a modern “standard” CD player built for listeners who want to keep enjoying a treasured CD library while unlocking today’s high-resolution digital playback. Designed as both a dedicated compact disc player and a high-performance stand-alone D/A converter, it combines a purpose-built single-laser CD transport with advanced digital processing and a meticulously engineered analog output stage for a clean, authoritative, deeply musical presentation.

At the heart of the D-03R are dual ROHM BD34352EKV DAC chips configured in dual-mono mode, paired with user-selectable digital filters so you can fine-tune the character of your system. Low-jitter circuitry is applied per input, supported by an ultra-low-phase-noise master clock to preserve timing, layering, and image stability.

Connectivity is equally flexible. Use the USB input for computer audio or a digital transport, with support up to PCM 384 kHz/32-bit and DSD up to 22.5 MHz, or bring in legacy digital sources through coaxial/optical S/PDIF up to 192 kHz/24-bit (plus DoP support). Full MQA decoding is included for MQA-CD and MQA files—with a bypass mode when you prefer standard playback. Finished with LUXMAN’s elegant blasted-white front panel, a large high-resolution OLED display, and a premium aluminum remote, the D-03R is built to be a lasting centerpiece for serious two-channel listening.

The LUXMAN D-03R is part of ListenUp's LUXMAN CD Players Collection.

What It's Good At:

LUXMAN D-03R Q&A:

Is the LUXMAN D-03R only a CD player, or can it work as an external DAC?

It works as both—a dedicated CD player and a stand-alone D/A converter. You can connect digital sources via USB, coaxial, or optical inputs and use the D-03R as your system’s main DAC.

What disc formats can the D-03R play?

The D-03R supports standard CDs and MQA-CD discs for MQA playback compatibility.

Does it support high-resolution audio over USB?

Yes. Over USB it supports PCM up to 384 kHz/32-bit and DSD up to 22.5 MHz (1-bit), making it ideal for hi-res libraries and compatible digital transports.

What are the coaxial/optical digital input limits?

The coaxial and optical inputs support PCM up to 192 kHz/24-bit, and also support 2.8 MHz DoP (DSD over PCM) for compatible sources.

Can I choose different sound filters or playback modes?

Yes. The D-03R includes user-selectable digital filters, and it also offers an MQA bypass mode when you prefer playback without MQA decoding.

Does the D-03R have balanced outputs for high-end systems?

Yes. It includes high-grade balanced XLR outputs (Neutrik) as well as gold-plated RCA outputs, giving you flexibility for a wide range of amplifiers and preamps.

How easy is it to read from across the room?

The large high-resolution OLED display includes a zoom mode, multiple dimmer levels, and automatic brightness adjustment for comfortable viewing in different lighting.

What’s included in the box?

The D-03R includes the RD-28 remote control and a power cable, so you can integrate it and start listening right away.
