CD players - Luxman vs. Esoteric?

I have found 3 reviews of the Luxman D-06 in Chinese.

They can be found at the bottom of the page in the link below:

Can anybody comment on the general drift or conclusions of these reviews?

I heard the Esoteric X-05 in a very revealing system today, and I was very impressed.

The Audio Excellence Award 2010 recipients were announced in Japan. The Luxman D-06 cdp received a Silver Prize, and the Esoteric SA-50 a Bronze:

Has anyone auditioned the new Luxman D-06 or D-05 cd players?

Also anxious to hear first impressions of the Luxman D-05. I do know the dealer I work with is not expecting to have the D-05 on hand for another week or so.

What model would be the competitive offering from Esoteric, maybe the SA-50 ?

thanks
