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.

Dtrandall, we have every right to post, if you don’t like our posts please don’t read them.

As per pitching our products like most dealers we are all fighting for our survival. Too few people will openly reach out to a dealer first, even in the case of shopping here many times a dealer can come close with a demo or display product vs a used one, and you have the benefits of working with someone who knows the products.

What working with a great dealer can do for you is to help you not make mistakes, we are advising a client now who was sold a $26k set of reference grade floor standers for a titanicly large room and he is blowing them up, we have that experience with those loudspeakers and would never have sold them to him. He is going to take quite a loss because he received poor advice.

Too many people are here just to sell something, we are not. We are in the business of selling products, however we are also in the business of making our clients happy, and in most cases very happy.

We do this by constantly evaluating and revaluating the market and moving into the best sounding products due to extensive testing of new products.

If you compare our post vs this one it is fascinating that nobody here is making a rukus over this post

This post even mentions every line that this dealer sells, notice not one peep?


Look at it another way, do people learn things from our posts?

Do many people comment favorably? Yes we get emails all the time from people who have read our posts and received great advice.  We have our enemies those people who don’t like our position or our outspoken demenor.

The point is we have tons of experience with many of the products people here really want to purchase because we sell most of them, if we published out\r line listing most people would be shocked by the sheer varitety of what we carry.

Do we have real experience by having the products on the shelf vs many "dealers" who have a gigantic line listing yet you ask for a demo of the product and they don’t floor it, how would you know really how good that product is? You can see photos of our shop and actually see the products that we carry and recomend.

Have you ever read a similar post and wanted to check out a product that you were not aware of?

In the case of Lumin their products are really excellent, as we stated before one reason for calling attention to the current X1 review was to hammer home the point that the Lumin products are in the same league as the big boys, DCS, MSB, Esoteric, and at usually less money for the fantastic sound quality they bring.

Are Lumins products always the best or right product for everyone the answer is no, Lumin has a singular vision if you want digital inputs or headphone amp or an analog volume control, or analog inputs this will not be the product for you.

We gave Tuberist advice on how to set his Lumin T2 which he didn’t get from us and now he is getting far better results. Did he help this person or not?

There are a number of dealers and manufacturers that post in this forum regularly that are considerate and treat this forum as a community of enthusiasts and offer a lot of great information.  Those are the kind of people whose businesses I would be happy to support if I had a need.

On the other hand, there are some who only post to forward their interests, not to help the community.  No matter how many times they are told by community members that their shameless sales pitches are unwelcome, they continue the behavior and often argue with or become combative with community members.  Those are the kind of people I would not make a purchase from if they had the one thing I desired most and it was the only place on earth to get it.

There are those that pay it forward and share freely with no expectation of anything in return, and there are those that are takers, only interested in themselves.  In general, audio enthusiasts are a fairly smart bunch and will quickly spot which you are.  

I'd suggest someone invest time in learning more about the decorum of using social media.
Haters? Yep. If you don't like the thread, don't read it, no one is holding a gun to your head. As someone looking to buy a quality streamer in the near future, I get a lot of information from a thread like this. Do I think Audio Doctor has a dog in the fight? Sure. Does that mean their post is without value? Not hardly. 
Thanks, Dave and Troy.
Haters? No but take a look at a recent thread titled "Need tips to better my sound." Don't see audiotroy chiming in helping that poster!
