Sorry, can't comment on the AX but I am jazzed about the DAC. I have been waiting for Luxman to release a dedicated DAC in their lineup. Looking forward to reviews!
Luxman L-590 AX
Just noticed Luxman has released the L-590 AX in Japan. Have not found anything about it in english except the specs.

and from the Luxman website but it does not show any details.

The question is does the L-590 AX sound the same as the L-590a II but with different features(no loudness but does have seperate button, does not hide the knobs on the front like the L-590a II) or has Luxman managed to take the L-590 AX to the next level?
Luxman has also released the DA-200 USB DAC by combining the P-1u headphone amp and the D-05.
