Luxman D-07x

I did a demo of the D-07x.  I was hoping to be able to take the demo unit home over a Sunday and Monday when they were closed to compare it to my Modwright player.  They wanted me to buy one and if I didn't like it I could bring it back in thirty days for a refund.  To much of a hassle when they already had a demo that I could use and leave my credit card for security.  I called around a bit and contacted a dealer that carries both the Luxman and Esoteric.  He actually liked the new Esoteric K-05XD and it bested the D-07X and D-010X.  He even liked it more than the more expensive Esoteric K-03XD.  It's tough to listen to esoteric in my neck of the woods, no dealers..

What aural aspect(s) do you not like about the MW 8005?

Happy Listening!

I’m interested in both the Esoteric K-05XD and Luxman D-07X. Has anybody else heard these two cd-players? In what way do they differ?
