Luxman D-10X Follow up

Excellent! You are very fortunate to own a D-10x. What other gear is in your system? I am looking forward in reading more impressions and thoughts as you massage this reference player into your roon/system.

I am a big Jazz fan as well.

Happy Listening!

I, too, have this player. I did not have to wait a year. Once I decided to make the leap I found one in Arizona and had it sent to me. This was just about 2 months ago. I agree with what is said here about this player, and after the usual break in it simply plays music, on all formats. Its the first one I have that is MQA-able, so I bought a few of these discs. I replaced a Luxman D-05u with this one, and use it in a system with the Constellation Audio Integrated driving the marvelous Perlisten S7t speakers. I have a TT in the system too, but rarely use it. I am no jazz fan, its mostly rock-type of music for me, or singer/songwriter, a bunch of classic country too, and the occasional classical. But rarely, if ever, jazz. That, of course, is just a matter of taste, and that differs from person to person. Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra sound amazing here too.  Jafant knows all of this already, so this is really for the other members here who might be curious.  

System brief: The new Luxman D-10X.  Conrad Johnson ART150 amp, GAT 2 pre, and TEA 1/III phono with Conolidated Silver SUT (a couple of other SUTs).  VPI HW40 TT, SoundSmith Experion.  Technics SL1200 GAE, VAS Mono, among a half dozen other cartridges in rotation.  McIntosh MR78. Sony Z1ES.  PS Audio P20 power supply.  Sony SSAR1 speakers.(2) REL SX212 Subs.. 

Congrats billstevenson...the d-10x will only get better and better with more burn-in time!  Report back when you pass 1000 hours...if at that time you can get out of your listening chair...😁

I guess you live in a country where streaming isn’t available. I’m sorry to hear that. This is a fine CD player indeed.
