Any real experiences with a Luxman C900u and C10x?


I'm in the market for a new preamp and have the M10x and am leaning to the Luxman C900u or C10x.  There aren't many dealers around me that have both for me to try and there doesn't seem to be much info on both online (i may not be looking in the right places smiley )

I've had the M10X / C10X combination for 9 months.  I didn't have a chance to compare C10X vs C900u though. 

I use this combo with a Chord DAVE dac and Magico S3 mk 2 speakers.  I was going for clarity, detail, and convincing musicality to the sound. To my ears- this combination brings that for sure! The sound is more LIVE MUSIC with little bloat to the sound.  Instruments sound real, in particular ride cymbals (I'm a drummer so that was a goal) - Of course, this is all very subjective.  

I did demo a 509X in home for a few days.  Comparatively, this is cleaner - with more bass extension, better separation of instruments, and a bigger soundstage. 

If you like the Luxman sound -  the C10X is excellent.
