| Streamer wanted Ianrmack,Sorry, I neglected to mention I’m using a Benchmark DAC 3B.I may retry the Bluesound with it, as the last time I used the BS, it was with a different DAC. | |
| Streamer wanted I canceled my order I determined that the Lumin is too sophisticated for my needs. I only want a streamer that is hi res capable (which for whatever reason my Arcam RPlay is not) and has improved SQ. I don’t need to access stored files or transfer... | |
| Streamer wanted Thanks | |
| Streamer wanted All interesting comments, but I’m going to try the streamer I ordered and if it isn’t an improvement, I have 60 days to return it and get my money back. | |
| Streamer wanted Patrick,I’m streaming Qobuz and Idagio with a WiFi connection using an iPad. As I’ve said, I don’t want a built-in DAC, and I’m not ripping stored music or CDs. No Roon.The Lumin Mini seems to fit the bill. | |
| Streamer wanted I ordered the Lumin mini.We’ll see (or hear) how it sounds! | |
| Streamer wanted Missti,I’m afraid you’re right.But it’s good to try and get a consensus. | |

| Classical Music for Aficionados Jim,I agree with you. He’s not afraid to take a chance. | |
| The Absolute Sound vs Pleasing Sound As enjoyment and fulfillment is the goal, the music has to come first for me.When the music comes first, there’s a whole exciting world of variety and discovery available. When the sound is primary, the enjoyment is confined to that somewhat limit... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Currentzis’ Pathetique is a little (maybe a lot) over the top, but very effective nonetheless. | |
| The Absolute Sound vs Pleasing Sound I agree with snilf. A record (or CD, SACD, DVD-A, stream, etc) is an artifact all to itself. Not an exact representation of an event. It has it’s own sonic characteristics necessarily different from the event, and must be treated thusly. We play... | |
| SQ vs. Music No matter what anyone says, the lure of sound for sound’s sake is huge in this hobby. It’s almost a definition of it.However, for most of us, I believe the greatest pleasure in the world is to be happy at how much the music we’re enjoying also has... |
