FX-Audio L07 Integrated Amplifier and DS07 DAC/Preamplifier Review
July 19, 2025 Comments Off on FX-Audio L07 Integrated Amplifier and DS07 DAC/Preamplifier Review
While the FX-Audio L07 and DS07 both appeared to me to be designed predominantly for desktop installations, I don’t really have a dedicated desktop setup in my home that receives any consistent use. So I took the acid-test approach and inserted them both into my usual digital source system that features a pair of KLH Model Five loudspeakers that are occasionally interchanged with the Magneplanar LRS panels, a pair of Vera-Fi Audio Caldera 10 subwoofers, a Naiu Labs Ella power amplifier, PS Audio’s Gain Cell preamplifier, an Aurender A1000 music server/DAC/streamer, and an S.M.S.L VMV D2R DAC. With cables and power conditioning, the system tops out at over $30k; you can click on my name in the header above to see the full contents of both audio systems in my suite of dedicated upstairs rooms. With the combined MSRP of $398 for the FX-Audio equipment, the L07 and DS07 inserted in that setup accounted for one one-hundredth of one percent of the total system value. If this equipment came from anyone other than Mark Schifter, I’d think my approach to this evaluation was completely nuts!
