One more thing: I was able to listen to T2 at home, which I really liked. The reasons of my confusions there no possibility to listen to p1, x1 at home in my country
Lumin P1 or X1 or others?
Hi,
Nowadays, audio companies are launching more and more streamers. I am listening music from jazz to electro-industrial, contemporain to baroque, dark ambient to experimental, so really wide genres.
I would actually need digital inputs as well. After all, I want to connect wadia transport and Sony dat to it - Of course I can sacrifice this for quality because I also have an analog tube amplifier.
In addition, in Hungary, where I live, my hearing opportunities are limited.
So i listened in a Solution power amp driven paradigm Persona 9H speaker system ( i like other kind of sound - it was too dry, emotionless, sterile for me). On some music you might have heard a difference e.g. Dead can Dance Anastasia sacd, JAZZ is noticeably airier and has some intangible sense of difference. On classical music, the x1 sounded airier again. I would say - if i can put it that way - the difference is 10-15% (for me).
I was also looking for a used streamer. My current option is either a new X1, or a new P1, or a used (1,5 years old ) X1 at the same price as new P1.
What do you think? Which is the best option? Or do you have other suggested option?
Thank your answer in advance

@wvbossfan thanks your answer! |
@ozzy "I guess to me does the P1 sound as good as the X1?" - This is the problem that I heard both in a system that did not like it. I have an tube preamp for my turntable - so i can use it for my dat and i can keep the wadia dac and i can plug to it, also. Mostly i listen my macbook pro via usb, already. So agree i dont need CDs anymore if x1 (p1) will kill the wadia. In most countries there are lucky hi-fi guys because home testing has 30 days of choice. I could decide what I want if i could listen X1 and P1 at home .... but no option
