The TESLA 3 with Dual Motor’s, which is about $55,000 does a 0-60 in about 3.1 seconds, which is better than almost every Ferrari ever made except the most recent 488 at > $250,000 and some previous ultra expensive models.   Yeah, but all i...

@kingdeezie  i received my Pontus II last week and listened over the long weekend. Sounded excellent out of the gate. I have had it running 24/7 since Sunday night so it should have a good amount of hours on it now. I plan to listen again tonight...

price increases fairly modest - about $100 USD per piece   Exactly. When you consider the performance you get from their products, it's still far and away a bargain.

what do you think a steamer is? It is nothing more than a stripped down computer.   Well I could tell you what I think a steamer is, but it has nothing to do with a computer...😀

@audphile1  I completely forgot about break in. That will certainly be poo pooed by many here, but the Lumin does sound better with some hours on it.  
Lumin U1 Mini - how to set up Network *without* Ethernet cables?
@audiotroy  I have tried upsampling PCM to DSD, but my dac sounds best in NOS mode, so that’s not the best option for me. And probably the same for most using NOS dacs. Oz    
Lumin U1 Mini - how to set up Network *without* Ethernet cables?
If you never used the Lumin hard wired then it’s not a fair comparison. And as far as the phone is concerned, any app will look and perform better on a larger platform. I love using an iPad to control my music. I don’t wander around the house, I s...
