I have had 4 Lumin products including the X-1. The X-1 is a damn good DAC. In fact, I sold the X-1 and replaced it with a Lampizator Pacific which is double the money. I can tell you there was not an incremental $16k worth of sound improvements. The way to improve your sound is to get a quality Music Server. I went with a 7tb Lucas Audio LDMS. The LDMS was the single biggest improvement in my sound system.
Does Lumin x1 needs a dac ? does a good dac will improve it ?
Hi,
I have lumin x1 and metronome cd player. Most of the time I hear music by using lumin and tidal and I'm less using my cd player.
I'm a bit confused to decide if i have to add a DAC to my system, will it improve the sound of my lumin or not ? It defiantly will improve the sound of my cd player, but because I'm less using it I'm in a confused situation to decide.
If it will improve my wonderful lumin sound too This may convince me to buy a new DAC.
If it's important i have a vivid kaya 45 speakers, i have a CAT JLE 5 amp, lumin X1, metronome cd and Plinius pre
Thanks for everyone.
Haim.
