Hi, I just want to give an update to everyone on this thread on the Lumin T2 after a little over 2 weeks of burning in.
I have to say the T2 is sounding much better now. Bass has definitely improved, and the overall sound is just so 'sweet', for a lack of better word. I am really liking the sound of this unit. The treble is not harsh or bright and bass goes pretty low. Overall it is very musical, and enjoyable to listen to. I think this is going to be a keeper for me. Now I wonder how much better the X1 sounds at 3 times the price. Anyone here who has heard both the T2 and X1 cares to comment?
There are still a few things I would like to see, and hopefully the Lumin team will consider it for the next version:
- more robust Lumin app. I'm still losing connection to the unit every so often, and it's annoying as hell.
- The Lumin app is actually not bad to use. It is pretty fast when it is working. There is one feature that I wish Lumin team would consider re-implementing and that is the 'shuffle' feature. I had already described it in one of my previous posts in this thread.
- consider adding a desktop version of the app.
- Add infrared remote capability to the unit. I'm talking just a handful of convenient features like starting, stoping, pausing, skipping, rewinding songs, powering on/off the unit, and for bonus, ability to scroll up and down the playlist. I still find it annoying to always have to go to my phone for simple control. I prefer to just use a remote control instead of reaching for my phone. Simple things like dimming the display takes a handful of steps to get to. I understand the Lumin team is probably trying to keep the unit as simple as possible, and I get that. I think the unit looks simple and beautiful. I am not asking for buttons on the front panel, but a simple infrared sensor. I am willing to pay up to $1000 more for this addition.
Anyway, this is a great sounding unit from Lumin at a reasonable price tag for the sound quality that it delivers. Kudos to the Lumin team. Well done!
