I have been looking at the Luxman D-08u and came across this thread which is of particular interest to me because I am the owner of a Berkeley Audio DAC Reference Series 2. I hesitated to buy it because the reviews seemed a little too neutral and I like a touch of sweetness. But in the end, I bought it and I am very pleased with it. it is never fatiguing. Those who listen to my system are very complimentary. The other significant components are my Quad ESL-63 speakers and Audiomat Prelude Reference MKII integrated tube amp. It seems to be a happy combination.
Back to the Luxman. I didn’t realize that the Luxman D-10X supercedes the D-08u. I assumed that because the price of the 10x is cheaper. When does that ever happen. Has anyone compared the two? Which is better?
