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

Greginnh
Have you had a chance to compare the D-06u vs an Esoteric K-03?The D-06u is just a bit more in reach than the K-03, but I was wondering if their in the same league musically.
Thanks

@cmach - yes, I have owned the K-03X as well.  D-06u  is a better player IMO.   The Esoteric can be a bit edgy sometimes.  

@greginnh 

That is strange. My distributor claims to have gotten a formal email from Luxman to that effect. I heard someone else in one of forums say something similar (heard from a dealer).

There isn't a reason why he should mislead since I asked him for pricing on a D-08u with some intentions of placing an order.

Maybe it is a country-based thing. And in the USA it will still be supported.

W@essrand where are you located?

@greginnh Used to live in San Francisco until a year ago, now in India for a bit.

BTW have you ever had a chance to compare Luxman DA-06u to the Bricasti M1SE, I am trying to decide between one of these two.

It would be perfect if Luxman came up with a streaming DAC sometime soon, the DA-06 is quite old now.
