Lumin X1 latest Review like we have been saying




For many years we have been touting the Lumin products as being one of the best sounding and best implimented paths to creating a fantastic sound in your system.

We sought to be a Lumin dealer after the A1 came out and pretty much got rave reviews as being the best sounding streamer out there, each successive product was better the new T2 is amazing at its price point and challenges $7k streamer/dacs/

The lastest review https://hometheaterreview.com/lumin-x1-network-player-reviewed/

sums up Lumins history and even offers a comparison of the X1 vs the Total Dac, and DCS and the Aqua Formula, we actually have tested the upgraded Formula V2 with the Statement and it does sound even bettter.
 
Summation the best sound the reviewer ever accheived was with the X1.

We sell some of the worlds best dacs, including T+A, Light Harmonic, Aqua Hif, Naim, Mytek, Bricasti, and with the X1 you have to spend $30-50k to better the X1, it is nice to see that other people are agreeing with exactly what we have been saying all along.

If you are looking for the best sound for the money, rock solid reliability, a fantastic feature set, Tidal, Qbouz, Spotify, Apple Airplay to play Youtube or Soundcloud, OTA upgrades, Roon endpoint, full Mqua, DSD and High data rate upsampling, upconversion and playability, solid build quality, built in volume control, the Lumin products are hard to beat.

@audiotroy, How much better is the Lumin line now after adopting the LEEDH volume control algorithm?
@audiotroy 
Great review on X1, by the way.
Let me pitch in here, as I am looking for a streamer/DAC and going through quite a bit of posts on this topic. I have Naim Uniti Nova with aerial acoustics 7T and combo is very good. I wanted class A and recently purchased Luxman 590AXII. These sound fantastic and they are different level. Now I am using Naim Nova as a streamer/DAC connected to Luxman. I am thinking of trading in Naim Nova for a good streamer/DAC. One of my dealer who sells both Lumin and Aurender is suggesting me to buy a Aurender a10. He swears that A10 is better than any Lumin, except for X1. X1 is out of budget for me. I have Roon life time subscription and Aurender does not support Roon. Do you have any comparisons between Aurender A10 and any other Lumin, especially lumin T2. 
Also, a bit odd that stereophile does not have class A+ recommendation on any Lumin products. I hear great things about Lumin products from both consumers and dealers. Little odd, as I rely very much on reviews before I short list to audition them. Of course Audiogon discussion helps. 
@audiotroy have you compared Lumin X1 and Brinkmann Nyquist II by any chance?

"The  Lumin X1 has a digital USB input. The USB port is bidirectional."

My understanding ... somebody please correct me if I'm wrong ... is that the X1 can accept USB input from an attached thumb drive or hard drive, but not from an upstream computer or one of the Sonore/SGC "Rendu" devices.  
@tk21
I think you are right.
I have trIed to connect my laptop computer to the USB input of the LuminX1 without success. I wanted to use JRiver ( whitch is on my laptop ) with the LuminX1.
