@fuzztone, I have tried the Raspi. It is a lot worse than Mac Mini. Sorry for bursting your bubble.
Wow. Just added the Lumin T2 to my set up...
Hi guys,
This post is apropos of nothing except that I have been struggling to get good bass and separation from my system... which ostensibly should have sounded great already. I started with the Hegel H390 running roon on a dedicated mac mini. These are paired with the new KLH Model 5s (which do punch above their weight) but I was getting rather thin, bright sound. So I upgraded many cables to the tune of $thousands. Each new cable brought incremental improvement (audible but not enough). Finally I sprung for the Lumin T2.
CRAZY improvement. I had to run it without connection to the H390 for a couple of days as I waited for my XLR cables so it was a little broken in. Finally listened to it yesterday and practically wept at the improvement.
In a nutshell, the bass is now well defined but appropriately deep when necessary. I can hear separation between instruments and between speakers. It feels like I discovered a new deeper dimension of music.
So, for everyone wondering about the T2, the answer is yes.
