Luxman d-08u vs berkeley reference 2 dac


Anyone have any experience with the luxman d-08u or berkeley reference dac 2 for cd or digital playback? If you were to choose one, which would you buy and why. Thanks for any insight!

I have read Luxman is releasing two new transport DAC models using a different DAC chip than what has been current models.  I have yet to see notification of availability in the U.S. yet, but had been shown in Japan in later 2019.
In looking at specs on luxmanamerica.com website, it appears the D-03X CD does not use the LuXman original Disc Transport Mechanism.  I have read many times this transport mechanism is highly praised but also expensive.  It will be interesting to find out what specifically is being used now on this one and D-10X.
