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.

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

Dude I’m not even doubting all of those. 
But if someone comes in and says something half as expensive is as good as a LUMIN you will not accept it. 
Maybe it does, maybe it doesn’t. You won’t know until you A/B. 
WC with more experience than anyone says Esoteric better than LUMIN and he’s not biased like you are as a dealer. Teac is Esoteric-lite so in theory very possible nt505 could beat T2. That’s all I’m saying. But I really do wish you’d test and report because as you mentioned you can get evaluation pieces for free- we can’t
