Lumin upgrade - built-in or separate DAC?
Just an update: The Lumin S1 sounds splendid! I have a much taller and wider soundstage, speakers disappear even more than before and quieter noise floor. I'm all set and the Lumin app works great. Waiting for a Shunyata Alpha digital power cord. ... 
Lumin upgrade - built-in or separate DAC?
I appreciate the videos you sent. I found a few before your post, but didn’t see a few of the others. I ended up going with the S1, but would love to do a comparison at some point with the Wolf once this Covid thing [hopefully] gets under control.  
Tannoy Stirlings on the way!
I went from the Tannoy XT8F and wanted the Arden’s, but the shop I bought from asked me as many questions as I asked them. Finally, we determined the Turnberry GR would be a better fit for me than the Ardens. I’m must admit I’m happy as a Lark. Th...

Lumin upgrade - built-in or separate DAC?
It might be worth mentioning: The Lumin S1 and the X1 are streamer/DAC combos, but as I understand it, they can also be used with a separate/external DAC- in case better DAC's come around later. 
Why the truth is not in them ??
Looking for a good time?Sell me a new or used Lumin X1 for a great price and I will restore your faith in a-gone buyers.  
Subwoofer Suggestion
I got the DEBRA array (4x 10” passive subs powered by 2x 1000w amps in my 15x20 room. I’ve tried upgrading speakers and still no bass (Tannoy Turnberry). Turns out it’s because of the standing waves in the room. I tried changing speaker location a...

Mrcypruz: Were you able to get any kind of discount or deal on the Lumin U1 from Upscale, or did you pay the retail price?
