Luxman DA-06 Dac...anyone?

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.

Something was totally wrong.there.i spent the last 2 months listening
And I can tell you that the cary is not in the Luxmans league.
The luxman is a big dac and takes every bit of 400hours to fully breakin
A good power cord is also essential.
Those dacs sound different maybe .what people sometimes don't realize is that sometimes another system is using a different digital cable,power cord or interconnects,and as stated before, proper breakin time.if everything is the same you can get a good idea of the sonics.
Also the Luxman DA-06 has won several outstanding
Awards by very well respected people,
Did the cary or triode dac get any thing close to these awards ?
I have listened to almost all of the latest dacs out there.
The Luxman is by far the most musically involving dac IMO under $10k.
Yhat is why I purchased it and weighing over 24 lbs, and
Very well thought out .

I actually like the standard cord of the Luxman DA-06 in my system. I tried a number of different Kaplan cords I have as well as well as a Triode Wire Labs Seven Plus. These cords worked very well with with my SLP-05 preamp and Sonic Orbiter but the stock cord retained more detail and soundstage for me with the others so configured. Current setup sounds excellent and imparts natural & intimate presentation. Trade show shared booth presentations can be hit or miss on system compatibility, and cords and cables do influence the perceived presentation. I tune to certain types of music and artists I enjoy. Other dacs, music preferences and tuning may appeal to others over mine.
