Luxman D-06U SACD Player - Complete Set

Free Shipping (Contiguous U.S. Only)

General:
Luxman is a well-known Japanese hi-fi manufacturer with a long history of producing high-quality audio components, and the D-06u SACD player is a great example of that statement.

The first thing you'll notice is the build quality. Like all Luxman gear, the fit and finish are excellent, with clean styling and attractive brushed aluminum surfaces that give the player a substantial, premium feel. MSRP on this player when new was $9990.

As a relatively modern SACD player, the D-06u had no trouble reading every SACD we tested. Reliable SACD playback can be a concern with many pre-owned players, making this a notable advantage.

In addition to CD and SACD playback, the D-06u can also be used as a standalone DAC thanks to its coaxial, optical, and USB inputs. For digital conversion, Luxman chose a high quality Burr-Brown PCM1792A DAC chip, which remains highly regarded for its performance.

The transport mechanism is also worth mentioning. Unlike the vast majority of CD players on the market, which rely on off-the-shelf transports, Luxman designed and built its own proprietary mechanism for the D-06u. It features the Luxman Original Disc Transport Mechanism (LxDTM), engineered to minimize the effects of external vibrations and improve disc-reading stability.

This unit includes the original box, remote control, owner's manual, and USB DAC software disc. It will be carefully packed and fully protected for shipping, as with all CD players that leave our shop. Please note: the screen is hard to photograph due to its refresh, rate and it looks better in person.

Testing Process:
We start with a visual inspection of all internal components to make sure that there are no signs of heat stress or damage. Capacitors are checked for telltale signs of predictive failure including bulging, shrunken wrappers, or physical leakage. We also inspect resistors and other passive components for signs of overheating. When the unit is first powered on we check the drawer mechanism function.

After the visual inspection we connect the CD Player RCA outputs to our Sencore PA81 Power Analyzer which simulates a real world input impedance and allows us to monitor the output on an oscilloscope. We start with a test CD with precision test signals to verify proper output on both channels. If the CD player has balanced outputs these are also tested at this time.

If this check passes, we move onto evaluation with actual music CDs. We listen for clicks, skips, and drops during playback. At this time we also check the transport functions including Play, Pause, Stop, Repeat Track, Next Track, Previous Track, Fast Forward, Rewind, and programming if applicable. If the unit has a remote control, all remote control functions are verified.

If the CD player is capable of SACD playback we test its ability to read SACD layers on multiple discs including standard and hybrid SACD's. At this time we also check the unit’s digital outputs where applicable. If SACD layers are being properly read we should see the digital outputs mute during playback. On redbook CD playback we verify that each digital output maintains proper lock on our bench DAC.

After bench testing is completed, CD players are set up for testing on our long term test rig. During extended testing we make sure that unit can play through several different discs from beginning to end with no skips or lockups.
