New sheriff in town: Luxman D-10x

Luxman D-10x SACD / CD player

Looks great on paper. Other than the SACD / CD/ MQA CD disks spinning, what’s intriguing for me is its DAC, with a brand new chip I have never heard before. If it is really as good as some initial owners report, this would be a SOTA all-in device for both disk spinning and USB DAC streaming.

Perfectly understandable. I would use the dac in the CD as you say to stream and play CDs. Still, it must be a tiny remaining US market and it no doubt inflates the price pretty dramatically.

If Japan is a big CD player market, then it makes perfect sense.

Serious question. Are Aphiles still buying $15,000 CD players or CD players in general? I am thinking the market is all but dried up.  Must be a very tiny % of audiophiles today. Perhaps I am wrong?

Great review. Makes me want one 🤓. Wonder how it compares to my Mojo Audio Evo dac? I love the type of sound Steve was expressing about the d-10x and find the Evo has it also.
