Luxman NT-07 Streamer
We think
The Luxman NT-07 is more than just a network transporter—it's Luxman's first consistent response to the digital age. It combines streaming, high-quality DAC output, and flexibility in a device that doesn't conform to any particular direction, but keeps all options open. Anyone who wants to listen to music in the highest quality from all sources—whether network, USB, or HDMI—will find a partner here that unites sound culture with the present of streaming.
Product presentation
The Luxman NT-07 is Luxman's first dedicated network transport and streamer, designed for digital music delivery to high-quality D/A converters. It offers digital inputs via USB , optical , and coaxial , HDMI in and out with ARC support, and networking via Ethernet.
The device supports PCM up to 768 kHz/32-bit via USB and DSD up to 22.5 MHz , while the optical and coaxial outputs process PCM signals up to 192 kHz/24-bit . Furthermore, the NT-07 features three modes for MQA : "off," "core decoding," and "pass-through," depending on whether the connected D/A converter performs full decoding.
Power is supplied via an OI-type transformer , two 10,000 µF filter capacitors, and stabilized amplifier stages designed for low noise levels and high stability. A large, easy-to-read organelle EL display shows the title, artist, elapsed time, and the format of the source being played.
Special features
OpenHome/NAS compatibility – access network storage, music servers, and streaming services via standard protocols.
HDMI inputs and outputs with ARC support – allows the input of digital audio signals from video devices as well as audio return from the TV.
Resampling option and intelligent mode selection – the NT-07 adapts the sampling rate and bit depth to the connected D/A converter to achieve optimal performance.
Selection of MQA modes – selectable between “off”, “core decoding” and “pass-through”, depending on the DAC system used for further processing.
Elegant housing and high-quality controls – sturdy chassis, aluminum remote control, dedicated "Luxman Stream" app, well-designed display, and high-quality materials.
Technology & Materials
The electronics are strictly tuned for sound quality: high-quality digital signal processors, clearly separated stages, careful shielding, and high-quality components. Cable routes, especially in the digital signal path, are optimized, and conductor tracks are designed to minimize transitions and signal loss.
Particular attention was paid to the power supply: the transformer delivers sufficient power, the filter capacitors smooth out supply fluctuations, and the noise suppression is solidly implemented.
Sustainability & Manufacturing
The NT-07 features a high-quality construction, a robust metal housing, and elegant craftsmanship. Luxman uses durable components, ensures a good supply of spare parts, and places great emphasis on excellent craftsmanship that will remain stable for many years.

Background / History / Development
The NT-07 is Luxman's first network transport device and marks a significant step toward the future of streaming. Luxman is expanding its portfolio beyond traditional players, amplifiers, and power amps. The development emphasizes the integration of streaming services, network and USB options, as well as digital flexibility and high sampling rates.
Basic knowledge
Network Transport / Streamer: A device that receives music data from network sources (NAS, streaming services) and provides digital outputs; typically without a built-in DAC amplifier.
Sampling rate and bit depth: The higher these values, the more details can be stored and reproduced, provided the hardware supports them properly.
MQA Modes: Different operating modes for MQA: Either no decoding, pure core decoding or pass through to the device, which takes over the full decoding.
HDMI-ARC function: Allows audio from a TV back to the audio system via HDMI; ideal if you want to combine TV and audio system.
Safety instructions
Electronic devices:
1. General Use: • Electronic devices are designed for use in enclosed, dry rooms only. Direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperatures may impair function. • Avoid proximity to water sources or other liquids. 2. Electrical Safety: • Use only with the specified power source (e.g., 220-240 V AC). An incorrect power source may damage the device or be hazardous. • Never connect the device to overloaded outlets or extension cords. • If there is any visible damage to the power cord or other components, do not operate the device. 3. Operation and Ventilation: • Place the device on a stable, flat surface. Do not block any ventilation slots to prevent overheating. • Ensure sufficient distance from other devices or walls (at least 10 cm) to ensure optimal ventilation. 4. Children and Pets: • Keep the device away from children and pets, especially small parts that could be swallowed.
Speakers:
1. Setup: • Place speakers on a stable and secure surface or use suitable speaker stands. Tipping over may cause injury or damage. • Position speakers so they are not obstructed and optimal sound dispersion is ensured. 2. Environmental Conditions: • Speakers are intended for use in dry, enclosed spaces. Avoid moisture and direct sunlight, which could damage materials or electronics. 3. Connections: • Use only compatible amplifiers and cables that meet the speaker's technical specifications. • Avoid incorrect polarity connections to prevent damage to the speaker or amplifier. 4. Children and Pets: • Speakers are not toys. Make sure they are placed out of reach of children and pets. 5. Care: • Clean the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners or water.
Cable:
1. Use: • Cables are for their intended use only. Use them only with devices that meet the cable's technical specifications. • Ensure that all connections are secure and tight for optimum performance. 2. Handling: • Never pull on the cable to remove it from a device. Always hold the plug firmly. • Do not bend, overstretch, or place excessive strain on the cable. Cables should not run under heavy objects. 3. Children and Pets: • Keep cables away from children and pets as they can be a strangulation or injury hazard. 4. Inspection: • Check cables regularly for visible damage such as breaks, cracks, or frayed ends. Damaged cables must be replaced immediately.
