The part that interests me is that the Westminister guy and Lumin could be working together on some things. I may have read that on WBF.
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. |
I have the Audio Sensibilities since the begining so I can’t comment. And also the Synergistic Research Master Fuse. I have the Blue for my Lumin
And I have the stock Lumin ombilical cord ; and I don’t know what to do with that . It is not easy to sell. |
