I am really surprised, as this in the first time (at least for me) that any one has said anything negative about the Luxman D10X. What changed in the past year? Last year you mentioned that the D10X sounds as good as $20k DACs. Any other changes in the system? If user "almarg" was around he would have identified a technical mismatch that might have have happened in your system due to component changes.
New Luxman DA-06 doesnt sound so great. Will it get better?
Hi, I recently received a Luxman DA-06 dac (new, gray market Japan import) and it the sound doesnt seem to have any life. It sounds a bit dull, uninvolving, and just low fidelity. The best way can explain it is that it sounds like when a phono cartridge has a bad impedance mismatch with a preamp or if the signal gain is too high and it is clipping . The unit only has less than 15 hours on it. I wanted to know if this is normal and it would clear itself up or I have received a bad unit. I have tried it in 2 different systems and it sounds the same. I have tried both outputs, balanced and unbalanced. I have read this dac requires 100s of hours break in time and I hope the sound improves. Anyone has any experience with this and could share their thoughts? I would greatly appreciate it.

@arize84 , A Luxman DAC came up for sale here and I was researching on it. Going through various Luxman threads I came across Luxman D03x Vs D10x Of course I did notice that you did not like the USB implementation of the Luxman:
