Luxman-McIntosh CD Players

I own an MCD500 and like it very much. I find it to be a touch warm and laid back, but with enough detail to give me what I want musically from the system. I have not heard the D-06, but FWIW, every piece of Luxman gear I have ever heard, and that is a lot, has always been very impressive. That said, if I found the MCD500 and the D-06 to be musically equivalent, I would choose the MCD500 for its eye candy factor.

More importantly than our different tastes is the fact that we all hear differently from each other. I have the MCD500 in one of my better systems and it more than holds it own (for digital, of course) amongst other higher end gear, i.e., Well Tempered Amadeus, Audio Research electronics, Verity Fidelio Encores, and a REL B2. As part of that system, for me, and for all of my audiophile friends who have listened to the system extensively, the MCD is highly musical. I offer this perspective not to be argumentative but rather in support of the fact that we all hear differently!
