Luxman DA-06 Dac...anyone?


Just curious if anyone has heard the new Luxman DA-06 Dac? It was supposed to be released in May. I was thinking of getting the D-06 cdp just to get the digital input but all I really need is a Dac.

I have presonly heard the new luxman DAC at a dealer demonstration with $40,000 speakers and a luxman 60watt single ended integrated amp of luxman's in Canada. And I have compared it to triodes corp DAC and my new cary tube DAC/CD player. The difference between the two other DAC's
compared to the luxman's was shocking!

The triode and cary tube dac's for the same price sounded better then the luxman.
The most crazy part was it made my system sound better then the whole system used to demonstrate the luxman DAC.
Also my systems total cost was half the price of just the speakers demonstrated with the luxman DAC.
For the same or cheeper price I would go with the other tube DAC's, and save your money and you will not be disappointed.

In fact I spoke to the north american rep for luxman who demonstrated the DAC. I asked him what makes the luxman dac different from other companies such as Arye and triode technology wise?
He could not give me an answer. Instead gave me little speech "at luxman we believe in making true sound in music. Which makes use different from any other audio manufacturer!"
Is that not the same at all other companies.
Dear Audioman58 the one thing about the cary CD303T SACD PRO Player/Dac
Like any other tube based equipment you should try experimenting with other tubes. The Gold Lions changed the whole cd player/dac around into a different Dac I switched the stalk russian tubes out when I bought it and holly smokes lots of more midrange bloom and detail. Also the new shunyata Alpha Digital zitron power cord made that difference even more so.

Also the cary class A+ awards on Stereophile for 2 years in a row 2012 and 2013 and also Absolute Sounds Editor Choice. Since said it had not won any awards.

Though I do respect people for staying with solid state dac's and for a for less maintenance by far.
