Luxman Debuts its DSD DAC at Music Lovers
Music Lovers' Hugh Fountain shows off the Vivid Giya G3 speakers
Philip O'Hanlon is one smart cookie. Rather than stage the customary new product demo, where attendees must sit through one or more lengthy spiels before they get a chance to hear a single note, he went right for the gold. As someone who loves music, thrives on music, and takes joy in creating demo CDs for friends, the renowned proprietor of On a Higher Notedistributor of Luxman, Vivid, Brinkmann, Mola Mola, and TriPlanar delighted a full house at the first public demo of Luxman's forthcoming DSD-capable DA-06 DAC ($6000), staged at Music Lovers Audio in San Francisco, by spending close to three enthralling hours spinning music, performing comparisons, and letting the system do most of the talking.
