Esoteric F-07

I’m looking at trading my Naim Star in for a T-2 Lumin and Esoteric F-07.
Has anyone owned or have the F-07 that you can give me some feedback?
My speakers are Sonus Faber Sonetto VIII.
Thanks,
Trailmusic

The T2 is like a mini X1. Spinaker we visited the Lumin room and quite frankly when we were there the sound wasn't too our liking don't know why. In our tests the X1 is unfreaking unbelievable for the money. If possible spinaker we would recommend the X1 if you can swing it. However the T2 still sounds better than an T1. We take trade ins so please reach out to us if you are serious about upgrading. Dave and Troy Audio Doctor NJ Lumin dealers

Thanks for all your thoughts and suggestions as they are much appreciated. How does the Star compare to the T2 as far as sound detail goes? Thanks. Trailmusic

Even vs the more expensive Naim NDX 2 the T2 is hard to beat. The dual ESS Sabre dac's have a more dense image focus and the soundstage is bigger. The Naim Uniti Star is an excellent all in one, and most people use it as an all in one. Your best bet is to sell the Star and get a T2. Dave and Troy Audio Doctor NJ Naim and Lumin dealers

I have a NAS drive and don’t need a DAC. Someone had mentioned the Lumin U1 Mini and said it had great detail like the T2, but no DAC. The $2500 price difference between T2 and U1 Mini is a big jump if the only difference is a having a DAC or not. Is the T2 really worth the extra $2500 if you don’t need a DAC? Thanks. Trailmusic
