My D-10X hardly sounds as described here, not close. It sounds like music to me. Not flashy, shiny sounding. Nor lacking the rest you claim to have heard. But, what the heck, we hear things in our own way.
I'm quite comfortable with the choices I have made when putting together a system for enjoyment of much reproduction in my home. I don't need verification from others for that. I responded simply to point out that my experience with the D-10X is different than some of the opinions stated here. You can see my system if you have any curiosity. Not pictured is a second system with Vandersteen 5A speakers, Music Reference pre and power (tube-based), MoFi TT, and a Luxman D-06 player. It, too, makes magic.
