Luxman DA-06 Dac...anyone?


Just curious if anyone has heard the new Luxman DA-06 Dac? It was supposed to be released in May. I was thinking of getting the D-06 cdp just to get the digital input but all I really need is a Dac.
tboooe
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.
Spent the last month trying DACs. Landed on the Luxman DA-06 (that I bought for change over 4k from a US dealer). My first choice was the MSB Analogue but with the right power supply, it was well over 10K. Close runner up was the new Bricasti but it too with what I wanted was over 10K. The Luxman has DSD, goes well with my Aurender Music server, and loves my Wyetech Pearl pre-amp and my Aesthetix Atlas amp. Detailed and lush with Harbeth 40.1s. All that the reviewers have said about the Luxman--silky sound, great band width, useable filters, USB built in, and I say as well. I haven't listened to every DAC but it's better IMHO than the Berkeley that I almost bought and the Cary I considered as well. In order, I'd say MSB, Bricasti, and Luxman are my favorites.
One other thing the U.S distributor mentioned was fuses which there are I am trying to find out the most important ones ,several are for control and display. Synergistic supplied all that was needed a a very nice improvement in added detail and air.as far as power cords the stock cord is not bad
But out of the 6-7 I tried Wireworlds latest Silver Electra 7 retails for $700
Perotta Consultants was very informative and decent deal. This cable even states it filters,the added blacker backgrounds ,air and for sure inner detail
And low level information greatly increased.by far my favorite cord for digital.i am using the latest Krell 550I which a lot of people Assumed
Because it is partially made in China no good,the best integrated by far
Under $10k IMO,read the Rave Hifi news review,try it before knocking it,getting back to the Luxman. The Msb is better in certain areas,but the Luxman s just more deep in layering - lushness that it is just a great dac.
The first time I said who needs records any more I am running all Wav,and flac files from a external HD to a Auraliti player with their New power supply
Still new.the luxman I have 24 hrs on it, I know 400 hours is about what is needed already very good listening to Povarotti now a event.
I just want to mention that as I stated before there are many factors
If you system is already are on the full side you may prefer the more neutral dac.myself with Krell550 I ,M.I.T HD-23-36 cables and a Wireworld Digital, ,powercords which make a big difference especially the new 7 series.
My speakers probably the biggest factor are a YG Acoustic Carmel's ,
With JL Audio subwoofers.these speakers are Very neutral and are a perfect match for my system.
I would lso like to Mention ,I was interested in Possibly getting a Dac straight from Japan ,but changed my thoughts on this since. My uncle is a pro audio technician ,and he stated the travel and possible cold solder joint possibility,can also short out something else,potential disaster.
I ended up having another conversation with Paul at Goodwins a Hiend audio. Great service and fair price. Buy from a dealer and get the guarantee. I admit now that most times you get what you pay for.
A used product is another topic,one thing though,the reviews on the 06
Are spot on, buy a very good powercord,and if you can afford $500
For fuses adds even more of everything,p,s with a dac this warm
Nature a cable such as Wire world Platinum is recommended,a Audioquest diamond is to much of a good thing -warm,I have tried both,and for sure the the Wireworld is more neutral and detailed.this is for sure !!
