I’ve been reading posts about digital network streamers and came across this one of many regarding LUMIN. I would have to say I don’t put a lot of emphasis on professional reviews because they are ALL positive in on way or another. Reading what end users here seems to be a more honest way of hearing what people think about their gear. Looks like everyone that has LUMIN has been very happy with them. Well, I took a leap of faith and ordered the A1. Just got it a few days ago and I am amazed! The unit is far from being broken in and it already exceeds my expectations compared to other gear I’ve tried. The instruments have very defined spaces in the imaging and also have a very musical harmonic tone about them. I’m also hearing songs that are so different from what I’m used to hearing that I find it bizarre and question whether the LUMIN is playing the same rendition of those songs. There’s instruments I’ve not heard before and the instruments that I have heard in the past take on a whole new sound signature that is very satisfying to listen to. Even my wife who doesn’t really notice much of the detail was sitting here tonight and she said “what was that? I never heard that before”... I can’t wait until this thing breaks in and the soundstage opens up even more. I would highly recommend the A1!
