Lumin X1 and Upgraded DC umbilical cord for power supply.

I know this question is so very specific but just wonderin’ if anyone has experimented with aftermarket umbilical cords to be used with their Lumin streamers.

I see that a company called Westminster Labs sell a cord for $$$. And Audio Sensibilities also sells a cord for much less and has my interest.

Has anyone had experience using one of these cords?

I am going to demo the Westminster Labs one from a Los Angeles dealer. He first has to round one up.

The part that interests me is that the Westminister guy and Lumin could be working together on some things. I may have read that on WBF.

@pokey Have you gone over to Excel Audio and listened to the Esoteric SACD players? It is a big drive for me to make.  I got my Lumin X1 for my 2-channel system, but it sounds so incredible on my headphones that I am now using it there.

However, the 2 streaming outputs of the X1 allow me to consider another DAC/SACD player for the 2-channel. The X1's streamer is rather good, including the output streams. I sourced the input stream from fibre optical.

I am looking for opinions on the new Esoteric SACD/DAC players with the FPGA design. How does it compare to the X1?
