Luxman DA-06 Dac...anyone?

One more thing to mention ,I have experimented with a good number of digital cables,for a warmer dac like the Luxman 06 I had the Audioquest a Diamond ,where the Wireworld Platinum 7 is much better suited to extract the most out of the Luxman, the diamond more midbass and fuller
It makes the Luxman as Chris C at a Computer Audiophile call it a Lush
The Wireworld very detailed and very balanced,not as warm a cable
With the Luxman it gives it a bit warm inner detail. Here is where
A cable be it power cords, or the critical digital cables can make or break
Any system .especially if your system is already in place,you need to take a step back,the Cable company can arrange some demos,lucky for me that I still the the AQ Diamond from a year ago ,,if you can't afford the top cable
Go for the next best thing. When I worked in a Hifi until 06 system matching was my thing . Just keep that in mind both brands are excellent t is what fits your system best.

Hello Audioman, I have just over 100 hours on the Luxman DAC and it is changing from digital cool and revealing to much more of a lush or what people are calling a silky sound. At first I was puzzled because it sounded very digital but as it's breaking in, it is sounding lush and revealing, especially with DSD files. Before I bought it, the last DAC I heard was MSB Analogue. That was revealing too but not with the rich or silky sound of the Luxman. I play acoustic instruments and the Luxman is close to those sounds. I will report after more hours. It is going into a deHavilland Mercury 3 tube pre-amp right now. I like the combination of this DAC and the tube pre-amp. My amp--the Aesthetix Atlas Signature--is a hybrid SS & tube amp too.

You have some nice equipment.

I had one very disturbing problem with an Oscar Peterson -DSD
Bought from Acoustic sounds every time a Song kicks in a loud transient goes through the speakers.very unsettling it could ruin something,
The 2nd DSD I bought from them from Santana -Abraxis simply Fantastic,
No issues. I emailed them , I am going to also call them I need to delete
That faulty down load as of the 22 nd I will gave 200 hours on mine
The Krell is new also. Which is also very good especially after putting in the Synergistic research fuses.

Hello one of the dealers said they tried fuses very nice added refinement,
I asked Luxman Japan for the values they gave it to me,
Then emailed back No aftermarket fuses, these are matched fuses
And they donot want anyone disturbing anything inside .

Ok I get the message I willnot touch it.power cords is another story.
I tried a bunch of Over $500 plus power cords the cord that complemented the Luxman best was the Wire World Silver Electra 7
Their latest noise canceling cable it truly does give a quieter back ground,for sure are more quietinner detail, as well as instrumental separation is improved
It took over 100 hours to fully settle in,just an observation.

I had the same problem with the Elias DSD file and the Holly Cole Temptation file. At first I thought it was the new DSD software running the Aurender, but I checked with Aurender and they haven't had such problems. The Michael Jackson Thriller wouldn't download, so they reset it for me. I grabbed it this morning and will see how that is. The boards online have discussions of this popping sound. People are assuming that it's the software like JRiver but my dealer and I think it's the DSD files.

Your Krell is a great piece of equipment. I almost went with Krell. I'm going to check out the Synergistic fuses for my preamp.
