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!

Just wanted to say, and I know this is off topic, the little DA-150 DAC/headphone amp Luxman makes looks really interesting.  I took a picture of the insides, looks like a fully discrete headphone amp section.  Just in terms of the headphone amp portion, seems overbuilt compared to the other DACs.

I find the alpha smooth, but it's also a little cool sounding. Not analytical, but the opposite of warm.

I find the Mytek for me a better balance.
