Luxman DA-06 Dac...anyone?

For the record U.s distribution was trying and still stating $5k for this Luxman 06 dac. And is 17% discount BS, in Japan they are only $2500
With maybe %15 tariff ,shipping maybe $50 they come in by freighter.
The only thing different is the 1120v transformer.my friend has a unit 3800
With U,S transformer.warranty means little ,any competent tech can fix the unit all parts are common place. Also Luxman very rarely break.
In this economy nobody pays retail.if getting for under $4500 delivered Maybe .if you pay full $5k you are a fool. Look on eBay $3400 delivered
1hr to change R core transformer to 120v. If they won't deal buy the Auralic Vega better detail still very engaging just not as warm .

I am still trying to buy direct from Japan but have not had any responses from the various retailers I have tried. I will keep trying.

Tbooe, in my other hobby I buy a lot of things from japan. I've found that many Japanese retailers do not like to sell outside of their country. However there are online 3rd party Japanese brokers who will buy and ship the item for you. Fees can run 10% and up. It may be worth pursuing

Hello tabooe just click on and purchase .they are all Paypal certified,as well as EBay safe .just get a 99% rating!then Audio Horizons
Will not only convert to 117 U.S voltage but actually make even better
If you request,for remember everything made is built to a price point.

I beg to differ, the warranty is important when spending several thousands of dollars.

I purchased a Luxman D06 CD player from this site a few years ago, a fantastic player, the player stopped reading CDs it was then that I found out that the player was a Gray Market player, the original owner flat out lied to me. I had to find an alternative repair center, the unit was fixed, and I sold it with full discloser. I doubt the new owner will have any problems . . . but it will always be an unknown risk. My only point is there is risk involved when buying Grey Markets player's and they are not always bullet proof.
