New Cary DMS 700

Please let us know your thoughts as compared to Lumin when you get one in.

Tough to compare the Lumin T2 to the Cary 700 if the Cary is anything like the DMS 600. 
You cannot just swap players.  They are so different, to get each of their best you have to match the electronics, speakers and cabling.
The Lumin is super detailed, The Cary is much more full sounding but not as highly detailed.  So if you have a system that sounds great with the Cary it will get tiresome with the Lumin. If it sounds great with the Lumin, you may find it not as exciting with the Cary.  Both are great players. The Cary will be much more forgiving in a system, but the Lumin will sound fantastic with properly matched cabling , etc.     

• Most people dont know about the lumin trans code to dsd setting when appled it sounnded far better then the cary also the t2 needs a few hindred hours of burn in

The lumin had a bigger and more defined soundstage

Benzin  the t2 is plug and play it is also easy to sell comparing lumin to cary is laughable lumin is con sidered one of the market leadetrs in streamer hardware and software design

Also do you think in 10 years cary will even still be here? When the companys main designer Dennis had left cary has struggled to come up with winning new products 

We found the majority of their produsts to be okay rather then trailblazing it was a shame to see a once proud amarican company be decimated by prima luna in the market

Audiotroy,
You are no longer a Cary dealer correct?  You are a Lumin dealer though, correct?
By meaning plug and play I mean into an existing system SQ wise. Not hardware.
Most systems will have to be tuned to fit the Lumin. The Cary will sound good in any system its installed. I had the the T2 paired with the Magico S3 with a MicroZotl pre and Kismet Mono blocks. Audience AU24SX loom for cabling. All pretty decent stuff.  7 out of 10 songs would be great. The other 3 would irritate you.  A detailed cable loom  for the T2 is not good. Silver would be not be a good match.  All I am saying is that the Cary will fit many more systems than the Lumin with out re configing your whole system.    Sabre Vs AKM are two totally different sonics regardless of implementation.   Sabre more detailed, AKM a little smoother. All depends on what you like and the rest of  your set-up.
 
This is a thread about the Cary DMS 700.  Not the  Lumin T2 
Thank you for respecting that going forward.
