I mostly used the Luxsin X8 as a desktop all-in-one with my DCA Noire X, Omne Hendeka, Hifiman Ananda Unveiled, and Sennheiser HD6XX headphones, as well as Letshuoer Mystic 8, Yanyin Baker, and Maytak Audio M6 IEMs. For soundstage testing, I used my Hypa17 amp, which drives the Fosi SP601 bookshelf speakers.

Let’s start with the boring stuff. The Luxsin X8 is dead quiet. Sensitive headphones, IEMs, and my 200W power amp showed no self-noise. The startup and shutdown sequence was also quite uneventful. A slight “tock” when the protection relay opens. The volume control, despite being fully digital, was to my ears transparent even at -40dB. Luxsin seem to be either using the DAC chip’s native volume control or a high-bit depth DSP for it.
