...in reponse to your question regarding the Lumin Network Music Player i recently bought one and it is superb.Sonically it improves on the sound from the PS Audio PWD MKII i also have.It also does DSD and supports gapless function. i am not using a preamp and am connecting it directly to my monoblocks and use the Kinsky app and it works flawlessly..
The new Lumin
For my budget the better Linn, Sooloos systems are too expensive. Anyone considering the new Lumin network music player? It looks promising but I'm thinking wait a year or two until they refine the Minim server software. At present it would appear something like a CAPS V2 running Vortexbox seems a better interim system. It seems when you add-up all the costs (including a good NAS, iPAD controller, etc. - the more than just good network player systems cost more than $4K. One knowledgeable poster over at CA said something that caught my attention: "A NAS with media server embedded is essential." (and) "Keep the notebook out of the loop." Thoughts?
