Luxman D03X vs D10X

Hi @jafant 

 I decided to stick with the D03X.

I am not listening to CDs as much as I am streaming through Qobuz.

I have made some significant add on and upgrades to my system. I have the T+A PA 3100HV now, let go of the Luxman 595ASE and Rogers High Fidelity tube integrated, also I upgraded from the Magico A3 to A5s. And last not but least, I have added the T+A DAC 200 after auditioning that and the Mola Mola Tambaqui..

The T+A 3100HV with the A5 is incredible. I still have the Luxman C900U/M10X and Luxman 550AXii. I love the Luxman line..

Thank You for the update. At its price-point on demo/used, the D-03x, cannot be beaten. Enjoy the Music.

Happy Listening!

@rman9 sorry to go off topic a bit but going from your statement of recently choosing the T+A DAC200 over the Mola Mola Tambaqui, could you go into any details about that decision? Those are two DACs that have risen to the top of my list. What were the main differences you heard and what was it for you personally that led to choosing the DAC200? Any comments will probably help, 

@jriggy I had the Tambaqui for three days, exquisite build and beautiful tonality. the issue that I had was I had to crank up the volume on it to the max to get all the details. The T+A DAC 200 on the other hand, is equally good in sonics and even at -20 and goes up to 0, it paired so nicely with the T+A PA3100HV and also with the Luxman C900U. The bass punch on the DAC 200 is more commanding and with symphonies, I felt the Tambaqui was a little subdued. Again, it's all with my system, Maybe the Tambaqui would be perfect with a different setup. And I enjoy being able to select the different filters and having more output selection, it made it easier to pick the DAC 200.. Please let me know, if you need any more specifics.. 

@rman9  I'm finding out the invert phase button is quite useful. I'm using it on about half my discs. Fills in the center image. Makes the stage seem more solid, with no loss in transparency.
