Luxman vs Hegal
I think that 509 is also class A but only for a few watts. Practicaly at low level and with efficient speakers, it should then "sound" class A as well. Uncorrect ?

What Luxman DAC to replace Hegel HD11 ?
Great. Somewhere I'd need the DAC part of D-03x (or any D-06x if it comes), but not the CD/SACD part  
What Luxman DAC to replace Hegel HD11 ?
Thks, but I am more concerned about musicality than about parametrics. There are tons of perfect devices that finaly does not sound so well. Also I wanted to remain on Luxman. First as this would be the best match to my amp (levels, design, build ... 
New Luxman 507Z
Crazy, can not afford this. The only "good" news is that the second hand price of our Lux amps will also explode and we might sell them more expensive than what we paid.  
Luxman 507uxII being sensible to mains pertubations when turning a LED lamp OFF
Tks. But wathever the origine of the perturbation, I am surprised that it ends in the speakers considering the size of the amp internal power supply, caps, etc . I though that the amp power supply should be a massive filter for every mains variat...

Houps ... just got 507uxII nicely negociated .. I'll end thinking that this was cheap .. 507uxII price in France was 6K€, raised to 6.5K€ recently (last summer) due to part & shipment cost increase related to Covid. I myself work in consumer... 
New Luxman 507Z Integrated coming in October.
I doubt it will be priced 6500$, but more 7500$ if you consider price seen in Canada (12599CAN$, TBC), and if you consider it will replace BOTH 507uxMk2 & 590axMk2  
Issue on Luxman 507ux II XLR balanced input ?
Well .. issue solved, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the Luxman I am using a Raspbary PI as an USB source to a Hegel HD11 DAC since years with satisfaction. The USB Pi runs Squeeezelite, an open source version of Logitech Squeezebox. ... 
Issue on Luxman 507ux II XLR balanced input ?
You must be right. There is a difference between XLR & RCA, but it does not explain all. Some plays that were highly appreciated with the Yamaha A-S2000 now sound cold and hard (whil being more detailled). Can't explain. My speakers are about ...
