Gdhal,
Time to find another dealer, any dealer who has their heads in the sand and don't know Lumin, probably doesn't read any of the magazine, or on line blogs, when Lumin for years has received rave reviews and whose products were considered breakthroughs when they first came out.
The Lumin product line still sounds amazing, and are modular, if you open up their case they are designed as digital board, analog board, and power supply, which allow for future upgrades.
The only issue we can raise with the S1 is for a the price today could you do better with a really good server like the Inuous Zenith a $3,500 server plus a $5-7k dac such as the excellent Aqua Hifi servers?
We are a Lumin dealer and the S1 is a wonderful piece so the A1 and the T1. One of the best bang for the bucks products we have ever heard is the starter D2 at $2,200.00 killed the Cambridge Audio 851N which is a well rated $1,800 streamer.
Gdal you should come over for a visit we have one of the largest collections of state of the art digital in the NYC area with: Aqua Hifi, Cary Audio, Mytek, Aurender, Lumin, Baetis, Innous, Light Harmonic, T+A, NAD, Naim Anthem, and a few others.
Check out our video, showroom 2 has 54 components in this one room:

This video is about 2 years old, so we have gotten a lot of new components since that time.
