Japanese hi-fi specialist Luxman has announced the release of its Network Transport NT-07 with USB audio terminals that support digital input, so that users can design an audio environment connected to a Windows PC or Mac over a single, high-quality USB audio cable, such as the company’s JPU-150.

A spokesperson elaborates: “In systems where general-purpose PCs are running audio applications, we understand that some users are struggling to solve many issues, such as noise and operability problems caused by the PC connection, as well as visual affinity when integrating into an existing system. The NT-07 is equipped with a powerful audio signal processing module based on the latest generation of application processors, a thorough audio-focused noise suppression system, a dedicated control app compatible with smartphones and tablets, infrared remote control and a slender, full-size chassis that can easily integrate into any existing system.”

In addition to the network, HDMI input/output is also available. The HDMI system (ARC) additionally supports the input of video sources from TV, using the ARC function, as well as through-output to the TV/display, enabling audio signals from various video sources to be reproduced in a two-channel audio environment.

Sound sources can be selected from files stored on UPnP-compatible (Open Home) network storage (NAS) or the latest music streaming service such as Qobuz, Tidal, Spotify, TuneIn etc. and it’s currently in the process of gaining certification for Roon-Ready compatibility.

Also featured is Luxman Stream, which allows users to select music sources, create playlists and configure various settings. Other accessories include a large, high-definition OLED display that shows the name of the track currently playing, artist, elapsed time, format, etc, an aluminium remote handset for the main controls operation for other Luxman CD/SACD players and volume controls for the integrated amplifiers or control amplifier. It measures 440 x 92 x 398mm (WxHxD) and weighs 10.3kg.
