Esoteric F-07


I’m looking at trading my Naim Star in for a T-2 Lumin and Esoteric F-07.
Has anyone owned or have the F-07 that you can give me some feedback?
My speakers are Sonus Faber Sonetto VIII.
 Thanks,

It should be an excellent combo, the Esoteric is very clean, tight and punchy relatively neutral.

The Lumin T2 is just fantastic.

Trailmusic, 

The T2 is far better sounding than the A1 the size and density of th image is one thing that separates the two.

The T2 is like a mini X1.

Spinaker we visited the Lumin room  and quite frankly when we were there the sound wasn't too our liking don't know why.

In our tests the X1 is unfreaking unbelievable for the money.

If possible spinaker we would recommend the X1 if you can swing it.

However the T2 still sounds better than an T1. 

We take trade ins so please reach out to us if you are serious about upgrading.

The T2 as a dac streamer is better than what you would get from a Star being used as just a streamer.

Even vs the more expensive Naim NDX 2 the T2 is hard to beat.

The dual ESS Sabre dac's have a more dense image focus and the soundstage is bigger.

The Naim Uniti Star is an excellent all in one, and most people use it as an all in one.

Your best bet is to sell the Star and get a T2.
