Luxman 550AXii and 509X
@ryder Thanks for the great information. You may have misread my post or maybe I am misreading your post. I was comparing the 550AXii to the 509x and not the 590AXii. Luxman no longer sells the 590AXii. In any case, I am stunned by how the 550AXii... 
Luxman 550AXii and 509X
@pdreher the 550AXii is rated 40 wpc class A into 4 ohms.. I am driving Magico A3's..  
Luxman D03X vs D10X
@arize84 thanks for the update on the Chord.. it's hard to tell if adapters would degrade the signal, but you'd have to trust your ears. I have decided to stay put on the D03X.. I am sticking with it.. I brought home the Luxman 509X and 550AXii fo... 
Magico S3 mkII
@jetter they are great to work with.. They let me borrow units to take home and listen. I have currently traded the Mcintosh C53 and waiting for the Luxman C900U to be delivered sometime in June. They don't have any S3 mkII on demo and also Magico... 
Magico S3 mkII
@jetter It’s not Magico, but it’s my dealer, any high end equipment I buy from them they let me trade for 100% to something newer as long as it is within a year of purchase from them and the price of the new equipment is at least 2X. That’s how I ... 
Magico S3 mkII
@henry201 thank you!! I do have to say.. Love the A3's.. Simple, Enclosed design, solid construction.. I am a lifelong Magico Fan..  
Luxman D03X vs D10X
@jafant agree on ARC not supporting SACD.. Otherwise it'd be an easy choice.. They can work little bit on the aesthetics.. I find the handles very unappealing..  The CDS9E has tubes and it runs real hot..  
Warning for Revel lovers
hmm, this is worrying me.. I purchased the Luxman C900U in March, and I have been told, it'll ship to me in June.. Sigmund from Luxman America told me on the phone, once they have the order in, it'll be good to go.. We shall see..  @gregp858 I to... 
Magico S3 mkII
@2psyop think I have seen that youtube video from Jays Audio Lab, where if I remember right, it was the M6's that were left in the dock for him to pick up or something like that.. That's not cool..   
Magico S3 mkII
@henry201 that's great to know. I bought the A3's in February. So if they release a replacement by the end of the year.. my dealer will still be able to swap out the A3 for the S3 replacement. Please let me know if you get more insights into the r... 
Luxman D03X vs D10X
@arize84 I have a Lumin U1 mini streamer, unfortunately it doesn't support all streaming services like Amazon HD.. How high of a bit rate do you push into the USB port of the D10X? Is it less than what it is for D03X? Please do keep me posted when... 
Luxman D03X vs D10X
@arize84 thank you for your input.. This feedback really helps. I'd be using the USB input a bunch.. So that's good to know this might not be the right upgrade path. I am still waiting on the C900U to be shipped in June..   
Magico S3 mkII
@chayro thanks! You are right.. it's not like a do or die situation.. The A3s do quite nice anyways..  
Magico S3 mkII
@chayro yeah, I was planning to upgrade from A3 to the S3 MKII Axpona 2022, didn't have any updates from Magico on a replacement..  
Luxman D03X vs D10X
@regafan thank you.. I did watch Steve's YT video.. It was quite interesting..
