I'm thinking about purchasing a Luxman D-08 SACD/CD Player


Has anyone had any experiences with this player?

I have D06 and D05u, but never had the chance to hear the D08.  I know, not much help, and not an answer.  But, I love both of my players, each in a different system, and they are magical.  I think, anyway.
I have the d08 - the model before the USB was added 

hasn’t missed a beat in 5 years

undid the bottom cover: an incredible disc drive assembly  with a build quality that makes accuphase look like toys-r-us 

sound quality  is exceptional
Check out whitecamaross thread in amps/preamps where he sells/replaces a top of the line Esoteric K1 Grandioso with the Luxman D-08u and his comments on why he did what he did (you will have scroll to find the post, there are 1000s of posts in the thread).
That should give you all you need.
Also check out the AudioSharks forum as well.  Do a search for Luxman and you'll see the posting about it. Needless to say the guy seems prettyhappy with it.
If you do get one please keep us posted. The D-08u is a lust piece for me.
I recently heard from my Luxman distributor that he received an email from Luxman saying that they are discontinuing all SACD players.

Can anyone confirm this?
