I was at one point interested in the X1 so I know that "gleeds" here and on WBF is the guy that is the Westminster Labs dealer. He has a write up over on WBF, but I assume you are already familiar with it.
Lumin X1 and Upgraded DC umbilical cord for power supply.
I know this question is so very specific but just wonderin’ if anyone has experimented with aftermarket umbilical cords to be used with their Lumin streamers.
I see that a company called Westminster Labs sell a cord for $$$. And Audio Sensibilities also sells a cord for much less and has my interest.
Has anyone had experience using one of these cords?

@pokey Have you gone over to Excel Audio and listened to the Esoteric SACD players? It is a big drive for me to make. I got my Lumin X1 for my 2-channel system, but it sounds so incredible on my headphones that I am now using it there. However, the 2 streaming outputs of the X1 allow me to consider another DAC/SACD player for the 2-channel. The X1's streamer is rather good, including the output streams. I sourced the input stream from fibre optical. I am looking for opinions on the new Esoteric SACD/DAC players with the FPGA design. How does it compare to the X1?

@yyzsantabarbara - Angus Leong from WestminsterLab does indeed work with Lumin, he designed their power amp for example. The WL Rei power amp is a more advanced design at a correspondingly higher price, yet the Lumin AMP is truly a standout performer on its own. |
