it is not a matter iod a dac/preamp you are going from a tube preamp to an integrated all solid state unit and you are not going to like the lack of tone color that the cleaner all solid state unit provides tread carefully
Lumin P1 or Pre / Streamer / DAC separates?
Hi - wanted to see if anyone had experience with the Lumin P1 - especially interested in how it works as a Preamp. I have both Krell Illusions ii & Zesto Leto Preamplifiers. I use a Auralic G1 Aries Streamer and a MHDT Pagoda balanced DAC. They feed a Krell Duo 300xd Amplifier.
I am thinking about simplifying things, shifting to the Lumin P1 as a Streamer / DAC and Pre. I previously had a Lumin D2 which I thought punched above it’s weight class, I’m confident the P1 is an outstanding Streamer / DAC but less confident in if it will perform well as a Pre. I’ve tried feeding the 300xd direct without a Pre and have always preferred having a Pre in the chain.
The P1 was designed to change the narrative.
Crazy to think the P1 can best separates? Again, I think it would best my streamer / DAC.
Thanks,
