Thanks for your help Al, I am getting close to 2.3 volts. Yesterday I went out and purchased a hdmi de-embedder. I played DSOTM and the bells at the beginning of the song Time sounded simply stunning. I've never heard them sound so accurate, pure, and "tight". I am using an Oppo BDP-95 and it is able to convert DSD to PCM at 88.2khz 24 bits. I do hear the relay click occasionally during the middle of playback at 88.2khz and less at 44.1khz. I know that the Luxman is very picky at the cable quality for its coax inputs. I will try some other cables that I have to see if that fixes the problem. It is most likely losing sync.
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.
