Luxman L-590 AX
The Luxman P-1U is around $3000 and the Luxman D-05 is around $5000 so if the DA-200 is a mix of the two with other goodies added in then I'm guessing $3500-4000 for it here in the US. It is around $2000 in Japan right now. So maybe $3000 in the U...

"The only big difference between the 505u and the 507u is that the build quality of the 507u is higher. Paulyh"So 507u cost twice as much as the l-505u but you do not hear much of a difference in the sound? To me it seems there should be a obvious... 
Luxman L505u . . . why not?
When I bought my Luxman L-505f back at the begining of 2004 I almost got the L-507f but just out of my price range. For the money the L-505f was a great int amp and if I had the money I would go ahead and get the L-505u. I had to sell the L-505f s...
