Hi Caphill,
I am one step ahead of you, already spoke to the dealer reference the Lumin T2.
The dealer I am currently working with highlt recommends it. I did asked him if I decided to go a step up from the T2 and he said it would jump into the 10k range. Anything between would not be noticeable enough to justify the price.
Any other suggestions here in the 5k range? How does the PS Audio DirectStream Dac compare to the Lumin?
My Arcam CD 192 retailed for around $2300.00 when I purchased it back then and paired well with my Krell S1000 & S1500, plus has good reviews. I may keep it for a while and see how it works with the Pass Labs and the Verity Otello’s. If I am not happy with it I will consider replacing it, but it’s been good to me plus it’s in mint and barely used condition. The Oppo will be used in my HT only..
