Luxman D-10X Follow up
Over a year ago I sought advice here about CD players. I ordered a Luxman D-10X as a result of the conversations. It took a year to arrive. Chips. Slow ocean transport. The world today. Anyway, as promised I am reporting back. It required a long break in. At first it sounded a bit sharpish I think is the best way to put it. 200-300 hours later it has a very pleasant sound on all formats. No surprise on SACD, DSD, and MQA, but the real bonus is that it really works quite well with PCM too. That is a real plus for me because I listen mostly to jazz and a lot of the things I want are not available on vinyl, or the vinyl is old, out of print, in lousy condition, or absurdly expensive. I am not inclined to pay several hundred dollars for an old mono Blue Note, sight unseen, coming from Japan, when the same recording can be had on a CD for just a few dollars. With this D-10X the sound is acceptable. So, I am happy. It was worth the wait. Thanks for all who offered advice.
