Think ill just go with a lumin


Starting out anew. reading all of the post into the wee evening hours, and getting more and more confused, I think I may just get a Lumin DAC/streamer combo. D2 or T2 i suppose, maybe an S1 if i can find one a little cheaper and I scrimp and save a little more.

My situation is rebuilding from scratch, so waiting for pieces to come together. Going with a Mac MA 352, and a pair of devore o96 speakers. Smallish room, just plan on streaming and putting a turntable onto the system, but nothing else. Figure i will just subscribe to tidal or Qbouz for the convenience, although anything appl conected is a plus. Will have a hard wire connection and decent wifi. I suppose i am most worried about how technology may change, and whether I should go R2R, but that rabbit hole started to make my head hurt.

If anyone has some opinions, either it wont work or seems like a solid approach, views are much appreciated.

I purchased a Lumin D2 about 2 years ago and liked Lumin so much that I upgraded to the Lumin T2 last month.  I highly recommend the T2 as a starting point based on several factors: Improved soundstage and musicality over the D2, fantastic app that allows easy access to Tidal and Qobuz, knowledgeable support direct from the US importer/distributor (in case your dealer gets stumped).  I use the Lumin daily and couldn't be happier with the versatility offered.

Good Luck!
