Luxman DA-06 Dac...anyone?

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.

Max I agree with you ,if you feel the markup is to high and are ok taking the chance with a grey market product,make sure you have a good tech .

Audioman58, Well said, thanks! and good luck!

I have presonly heard the new luxman DAC at a dealer demonstration with $40,000 speakers and a luxman 60watt single ended integrated amp of luxman's in Canada. And I have compared it to triodes corp DAC and my new cary tube DAC/CD player. The difference between the two other DAC's
compared to the luxman's was shocking!

The triode and cary tube dac's for the same price sounded better then the luxman.
The most crazy part was it made my system sound better then the whole system used to demonstrate the luxman DAC.
Also my systems total cost was half the price of just the speakers demonstrated with the luxman DAC.
For the same or cheeper price I would go with the other tube DAC's, and save your money and you will not be disappointed.

In fact I spoke to the north american rep for luxman who demonstrated the DAC. I asked him what makes the luxman dac different from other companies such as Arye and triode technology wise?
He could not give me an answer. Instead gave me little speech "at luxman we believe in making true sound in music. Which makes use different from any other audio manufacturer!"
Is that not the same at all other companies.

wow! that makes me want to keep my Triode DAC and get it converted to 230V.

Here I was wanting to sell it for a 230V compatible DAC.
