155400 JPY (~$1900). I don't know how Luxman prices their products out of Japan, though.

The 590 a II that I want is ~ $6300 on Audiocubes2, but $9,500 in the states.

Well, that's one way to prevent people importing and switching the voltage...

Also, that whole "combining the P-1u headphone amp and the D-05 (DAC section)" is not entirely accurate. The DAC and output section is supposedly pretty close to that of D-05, but the headphone amp section is an opamp-based one, unlike that of P-1u. Looking at the Japanese site, it looks more like a 2-ch USB DAC that they tacked on a headphone amp/out.

Not nearly. It is hot looking and would have been a bitchin' combo if not for the opamps and tacking on parts.

Now we know where Mikhail went.
