Has anyone ever heard the above mentioned Luxman DAC? Quite tempted by it. Currently own a RME ADI2 which is excellent for the money, but only a fraction of the cost of the Luxman.

I'm Carl.
I have owned one for the last 5-6 years. I first heard one at an Audio show in Tokyo when they launched in an all Luxman system and was blown away by it. Some years later, when my chance came to buy a used one on a trip to Tokyo I jumped at the chance and have been delighted with it ever since. It replaced a Cyrus DAC X+ at the time and was a significant upgrade for me. I also own both a Chord Hugo 2 and a Naim DAC / XPS and its the Luxman that retains pride of place in my main system. Absolute battleship of a DAC too. I love mine and have no plans whatsoever to change it.

“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

The DA 06 DSD DAC arrived this morning... won't say too much about the SQ yet, other than it sounds very good, cold, straight from the box.
I didn't realise quite how big it was going to be, had to order a new shelf! A beautifully solid excellently well engineered piece of kit, on a par with my Accuphase amps I think.
Back later on more about the sound.
