Luxman DA-06 Dac...anyone?

I can confirm that the list price is $6K not $5K.

If you search online, you will find US dealers advertising the DA-06 at the original list price of $6000 price and others at the reduced list price of $5000. I was told about the price reduction by an official Luxman dealer.

Tboooe,it seems like you are trying very hard to convince yourself that adding a step down transformer won't affect the sound. Is it worth taking the risk?

The US distributor, On A Higher Note, has confirmed that the US list price for the DA-06 is now $4,999.

Agree, price is going to be reduced to $4999. At that price, assuming I can get a bit of discount it does not make sense for me to risk getting a Japanese spec unit.

Amen.

On eBay from Japan $3300. Inside it has a Rcore transformer.
measure the voltages and replace with custom120 v model .$350.low level detail,and noise floor lowered with R core transformer,just look at picture off the IEC.
Night and day better then a step down transformer , unless you have $1,000 to spend on a custom model don't bother .i lived in the U.k
Owned a Hifi shop and had a tech to do all changes,good or bad.
Joseph Chow- Audio horizons can do anything. A great audio engineerIMO
His dac is more detailed ,and very full bodied 4 vacuum tubes.$5k
He is coming out with a dsd dac very soon. That is why I am
Weighing my options.also there are several things on the luxman that can be upgraded,output transformers, better capacitors and more uf,and a few other things. The 7 fuses inside are All bottlenecks.he actually has his platinum fuses out there totally different then Hifi tuning ,patented,he says
Noticably better or he refunds and pays shipping both ways.
I ordered one has not arrived yet but a lot of very good feedback.
Just to let you guys know if it is commercially made it is made to a price point and $600 in upgrades can dramatically improve the player .
