Thinking to get one of these beauties for my main system paired with either a Zu DW or a Klipsch Forte/Cornwall. With the phono and DAC modules for my Lumin streamer and VPI tt.
Can say many of the same things for ARC. Good quality stuff, looks great, resale is good (although not as good as Mac gear).
I have just started looking into the purchase of ARC gear and thought this also regarding good resale values. I don’t know whether or not ARC dealers sell new products with a discount off MSRP or maybe it’s the economy. I mention this because I was surprised to see it appeared that much of the relatively new but not current model used ARC gear was listed at around 40%-45% off MSRP. And ARC does come out with new models rather often, but fortunately appears to offer updates of previous models, but I guess this isn’t all that helpful resale wise.
just pull the trigger and bought one with onboard DAC&Phono stages.
Wondering if I sell my Lumin D2 with Sbooster and use just a Bluesound Node or a other pire streamer will make much difference and I can put the money in a good cans or MM Maestro V2.
An onboard DAC will make at least part of your Lumin potentially redundant. I guess I'd wait to see if you prefer the sound of the onboard DAC before moving on from your Lumin.
