wisnon Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Thanks for the interest! LUMIN is a dedicated network music player. The real power of LUMIN is it's DAC circuit and analog output stage. A friend sold his Antelope Eclipse 384 DAC + lsochrone 10M Clock and now using only LUMIN with a better sound. Another friend with a full (4 boxes) set of dCS Scarlatti also likes the LUMIN better. It is likely that you may find the LUMIN alone sounds better than your whole digital chain. I doubt that in my case...I am using a multibit TUBE PCM Dac (L4). I will await the tubed DSD Dac for less money...only a matter of weeks away. Link to comment

wisnon Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Did the price go up from $4K to over $7K???? Link to comment
wisnon Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Thats perhaps true ... but at $4k it was a bargain, at $5.5k it was something you might take a punt on despite being a far east import, now at $7k it has to be something special to justify the risk or a question mark over ongoing support... And whether or not it is a copy of the Linn, you have to question the motives of a company who have acted the way Lumin have in the way they have promoted the device on various forums... At $7k it's also up against some competition - Chord's Codex player (another DSD capable streamer which is also a USB + SPDIF DAC); Linn's Akurate and various options from Naim as starters. Eloise The Codex does DSD128. Does the Lumin? Link to comment
wisnon Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I am currently checking out a tubed DSD only Dac. I shudder to think anything could possibly best that on DSD64 or DSD128. The purity of sound is divine. Link to comment
