Lumin T2 impressions?

Good to know. 

I was getting ready to pull the trigger on a D2 yesterday. However, I am going wait just a bit and go for the T2. After chatting with a few people, including Peter at Lumin, The T2 has latest tech. Plus, in the future if needed, the ability to output to another dac. 

Since my BHK preamp purchase, I am wanting to go go full balanced on my system. The T2 and BHK 250 are the next two components I'm looking at purchasing.  

And i am sure you will not be disappointed :)

With the Lumin T2 I have:
Sold my Oppo player and stopped playing SACD DVDA CDS
Stopped spending on expensive Vinyl
Started listening to a wider variety of music, not just the same audiophile recordings (via Roon w/Tidal and Qobuz) 
Play the next record without leaving my lazyboy ;) or just play one hit wonders


I’m not ready to sell the TT but it’s no longer superior to the digital front end. The Lumin w/Roon has all the conveniences of the modern digital age but you might confuse the sound for that of a superior analogue front end.

How about if NOT using Roon?  A decent native interface? 

How best to tie in all my ripped Cd's and hi rez files now sitting on a SONY HAP Z1ES (SONY hasn't added Tidal or Qobuz, which I now refuse to live without)  I've heard bad things about USB interfaces if I move all those files to say SSD.  Or am I better off if I put back on computer and run an ethernet line?
