Lunim T2 vs Cary Audio DMS 600

Any more feedback on this comparison? 

I have a DMS 600 and sold a T2   All depends on the rest of your system. The T2 can sound fantastic with the right electronics and cabling   I have Persona 5 f speakers  which are more on the detailed or brighter side of neutral. The T2 would sound great on 7 out of 10 songs but would get grating after extended listening systems .
The Cary is perfect for my system. Detailed but smooth and always listenable with fantastic low end   The Cary does not need a pre amp as its 3 volt output drives a pair of Kismet Monoblocks beautifully where the Lumin will need a pre to sound it’s best. The Lumin app is much more user friendly. Cary is Roon ready
the Cary has an integrated SD card reader which sounds pretty fantastic. The Cary’s list is 6900 ( can be bought for much less)vs 4500 for the Lumin. The Cary has many more features and really doesn’t need a pre to shine so to me the Cary is a one box wonder (28 lbs) while the Lumin Needs a pre and a additional set of cables to be at its best. The Cary has additional digital inputs for CD players or cable boxes. So again can be used as a high end digital preamp. The Cary’s display is full color w/art work if that’s important to you. T2 can really sound great in the right system but the Cary is much more forgiving overall   It’s Sabre Vs AKM chipsets   Even though the  there’s more to the sound that the chips they certainly have a certain flavor 
You can buy the Cary with a trial period but you will pay considerably more. Maybe AudioTroy can hook you up for demos
The Lumin may sound better off the bat but really need extended listening with all types of music. Good luck with your purchase. Both great players but really different sounding players and feature sets. 

@benzman - great comparison and overview. Gold ⭐️

I had both units and Benzman is correct on several things. I had the Lumin T2 first and sold it and bought the Cary DMS600. Since I was listening to tube amplifiers and a tube preamp, the Cary matched up well with the setup. The AKM sound smoother with slightly fuller bass while the Sabre sound brighter with maybe a bit more detail. The AKM can process the digital sampling rate from 44.1 kHz to 768 kHz while the Sabre dac processes 44.1–384 kHz. The Cary has much more flexibility plus you can use your CD Player as a transport and connect into the Cary to take advantage of the DAC’s built into the unit. It all depends on what sound you’re looking for. Both units are upgradable with their firmware. The Lumin software posed a bit of a problem but there IT was pretty good. I haven’t had any issues with the Cary thus far. It has been excellent. Both pieces are well built. For me, I love that I can use a phone (Android or an iPhone), a computer, or a tablet to control the Cary. What you saw on the screen of the Cary unit is what you saw on the hand device. Also connecting to a Roon Nucleus was very easy and convenient especially for ripping. I hope that helps.
Enjoy the music

When I had a Lumin a couple of years ago, I couldn't get the app to work worth a damn on Android devices.  Have they got that fixed?
