In double mint condition and absolute flawless operational. This particular Luxman DU–50 has the optional choice of two “2” DACs no longer offered by Luxman. What can be said, a beautiful piece of audio, manufactured entirely in Japan.

The DU-50 the importer Philip O'Hanlon of On A Higher Note prefers to emphasize its musical values, which include a persuasive impression of body and vitality, with tonal variety and beauty to rival vinyl sources, especially from SACD and DVD-A. Its functional characteristics make it the easiest, most intuitive-to-use digital player

For Stereo playback, the DU-50 is equipped with a Fluency Digital Analogue Converter (DAC) that has a wonderful relaxed, analogue like presentation. The DU-50 throws a huge 3-D soundstage; the musicians are laid out in front of you so realistically, that if you close your eyes, you will feel that you can extend your arm & touch those in front..

It is no surprise that the emphasis is on sound quality, it's video performance is a bonus. The video circuitry may be turned off from the front panel. A choice of two different audio DACs (digital to analogue converters) are on board; Shannon and Fluency (FE), the button on the left hand side of the display allows one to chose between them while the music is playing.

The Luxman DU-50 universal player easily ranks among the most musical digital sources Not surprisingly for a universal player in this price range, the DU-50 offers top-notch SACD and DVD-A playback (both stereo and multichannel). What truly sets this player apart from the competition, , is the way it handles Redbook CDs. Using Luxman's award-winning Fluency Dac, the DU-50 brings a remarkable warmth and naturalness to CD playback, and significantly narrows the gap between standard CDs and hi-rez formats.

It is little wonder that the DU-50 was given a Golden Ear award by The Absolute Sound in 2008, and became a Stereophile Class A Recommended Component.

You will be absolutely dumbfounded and astonished by the performance of this player. The sound-stage is just massive, instruments sound true to life and more vivid. Needless to say, instruments sound more natural than other SACD/DC players I've owned costing 10 times the price.
