hlkaye Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I recently auditioned both the T2 and the Auralic Vega G1. Both were a significant improvement over my previous set-up: Sonore Micro Rendu and Ayre Codex. Going in to the audition, I expected to prefer the Lumin, given the reviews I had read, but both my wife and I strongly preferred the Auralic Vega G1. In our system (ARC LS17SE, Aesthetix Atlas Signature, Magneplanar 3.7i), the T2 sounded too dark and "thick" (i.e. slightly muddy). The Auralic had greater clarity and detail and a more realistic soundstage. We bought the Auralic, but I'm sure that some others auditioning both would prefer the Lumin, given the characteristics of their system and musical tastes. Link to comment
hlkaye Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Yes, I do use Roon, upsampling everything to DSD 512 and have encountered no problems at all. I've also used the Auralic app, which is a bit clumsy but adequate. Link to comment
hlkaye Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 This is why I now only buy products that I am able to audition in my home. Fortunately there are dealers and manufacturers who will facilitate this. Link to comment
