Luxman D-08u

A Luxman SACD/CD player D-08u formerly top-of the line (before the D-10x) in very good condition.  I am the second owner.  The only defect is a small smudge on the top of the unit.  The front and sides are perfect.  This unit is famed for sounding analog like and fooling listeners into believing they are listening to vinyl.  I have enjoyed this unit immensely.

Original double box (so it gets to you in perfect condition), remote, and manual.

Some comments:
“At its price, I can’t think of a better of more versatile way to crush bits into music.”
“If your digital replay budget stretches to nearly $20,000, the Luxman D-08u offers a level of performance, looks and functionality that is as good as it gets. For some listeners that still won’t be enough. When it comes to digital source components for home audio systems, there are sweet spots, especially for computer-based audio, that cost a fraction of the Luxman flagship. But if you are willing to challenge the perceived notion that streamed high-definition music is the pinnacle of current sound (and you can’t afford to sell your Malibu beach house or shell out the equivalent of a BMW or Ferrari just to spin discs), you should give this Luxman player a listen. Compare it to the competition -- all of the competition, including file-replay systems -- and the results may well surprise and delight you.”  https://www.theaudiobeat.com/equipment/luxman_d08u.htm, Dennis Davis from Audiobeat

“The D-08u produces an expression and detail unimaginable for CD players using any less than our high quality components, attention to detail and of course passion for high-fidelity audio. Equipped with both USB and CD and ready for multiple file formats and platforms the D-08u is a CD player in a league of its own.”

“What shocked me was that the source they were running at the time was using redbook CDs! I’m admittedly much more of an analog guy and find well mastered high res digital material much more enjoyable and natural sounding than (most) CDs. Then I saw what they were running for the digital source and it was a Luxman D-08uCD/SACD player and DAC. While it lists for $18K US I have never in my life heard CDs sound so completely engaging, with natural decays and beautiful textures being effortlessly revealed. I really never thought that CD quality digital recordings could ever sound this good. Of course the entire system was contributing to what I experienced, but it proved to me that you can get reference quality reproduction from redbook CDs. It's also a full function DAC supporting resolutions up to DXD for PCM and double DSD. I now have to give some serious thought to purchasing the Luxman D-08u; they really make some awesome gear!”  Audio Bill from AXPONA

“The Luxman D-08u delivers sound that impresses with its absolute neutrality, exceptional clarity, clarity, attention to detail, and exceptional expressiveness and musicality. This is a truly talented performer that can also act as an external DAC and play high-resolution digital audio formats.”

“Luxman D-08u is distinguished by precise, clear, expressive, musical and detailed sound with a characteristic neutral presentation. The device can also be used as an external DAC that understands current audio formats.”
