Also interesting that this unit does not have the "ultimate" designation
Every aspects (chassis, transport mechanism, internal clock, analog section, powersupply section ... etc) of D-10X have been improved and should surpass the D-08u for sure.
However the most interesting new feature is that it employs a new dac chip : the ROHM MUS-IC BD34301EKV :

For the new dac chip ROHM BD34301EKV, it's said that it surpasses the other brands such as ESS90x8, particularly in terms of richness and musicality.

Jerry, I'm in the same boat as you. These are my two top contenders for my final player end point. I am currently using a ModWright Marantz player which is very good, but the new Luxman has me wondering. Please keep us posted on your thoughts moving forward.
Yes, will do once I received it sometime in August.
