I did a demo of the D-07x. I was hoping to be able to take the demo unit home over a Sunday and Monday when they were closed to compare it to my Modwright player. They wanted me to buy one and if I didn't like it I could bring it back in thirty days for a refund. To much of a hassle when they already had a demo that I could use and leave my credit card for security. I called around a bit and contacted a dealer that carries both the Luxman and Esoteric. He actually liked the new Esoteric K-05XD and it bested the D-07X and D-010X. He even liked it more than the more expensive Esoteric K-03XD. It's tough to listen to esoteric in my neck of the woods, no dealers..
