Lumin X1 latest Review like we have been saying

Lalik thank you for understanding our enthusisiam for Lumin they really do make some excellent gear. Perfect no, for everyone no but overall a great product line.

We sell products that we endorse because we feel that these are very special products, that fit into our philosophy it is very unlikely you will find us talking about products that we would just sell because we can.

You will also find in most of our discussions the reason why we recommend a particular product and why that product represents something which may be better or is unique in someway.

We do a lot of market research and that includes getting in new products all the time. and doing comparisons with our current products.

We are not the ones saying the X1 is one of the best in the industry, the industry is. we are agreeing with the rest of reviewers:

Just for your edification we are currently testing Bricasti’s new M3 which is excellent by the way, Zesto tube electronics are comming in, Hegel is back on our floor, Chord is on a possible evaluation vs our other dacs and streamers

We are bringing in the Onkk turntable from the UK looking at a German Phono stage, a line of new phono cartridges and a set of really innovative loudspeakers from the Netherlands.

Look for our new website and
our new import entity in 2020

But, and here is the key thing: you are not allowing for the possibility that Lumins could be solidly beaten by something costing much less, as in the example I gave. 
You are essentially saying that is impossible. 
That is the problem people have with the schilling 

FWIW, WC, the most celebrated and unbiased reviewer on Agon has endlessly raved about Esoteric dacs whereas he has also owned LUMIN and never mentions them in same light

My response to the folks who complain about Audiotroy trying to sell then you are obviously not interested in hearing from knowledgeable and intelligent audio experts. I find Dave's posts very informative. He has a view point and understanding that only a dealer can have. I called Dave a few months ago to discuss the Lumin T2. He spent a good 30 minutes with me describing how good this product is, and I believe him. After speaking with Dave I absolutely believe that he wants his customers to have the best product that will work for them not him.I am planning on buying a T2 as soon as my budget allows and I'll probably call up Audiotroy first.

For most part I do too. More good than had. Often his posts have ton of good info and I usually like reading them. 
Just have to call out when over the top
