I own a Lumin S1 and the Lumin L1 4TB NAS. Wonderful sounding. The best streamer I have heard. The fact that they added a great DAC made the combination a major upgrade from my Directstream DAC. Sadly I can’t afford to keep it due to some recent financial challenges. I will keep my PS Audio Directstream DAC w/ Bridge, so I still have a DAC. But, I would gladly sell the Directstream gladly and keep the S1, however the S1 will bring a higher price.
When I got the S1 a few weeks ago, I directly compared it to the Directstream by connecting the S1 to my integrated amp via unbalanced inputs and the Directstream is balanced inputs. I started the same song playing on both devices at the same time and switched back and forth between both units. The S1 sounded much better. I love the S1. It is far and away the best piece of audio equipment I have owned.
I use Roon and it works with the S1 as expected. The S1 also sees the Minimserver on my Synology NAS and the Lightning server running on my Auralic Aires.
