All this information is readibly accessible at Lumin's web site; you can compare and contrast by reading the information there: U1 and Specifications: LUMIN U1 U2 and Specifications: LUMIN U2 A little basic research goes a long way. Cheers.

Haha! That's good to hear, Mike. Hopefully, you're moving some gear. I look forward to your listening thoughts when time permits you to sit with the 509z.

It sure is pretty! LOL. We haven’t connected it. We’ve been busy with demos. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Any initial thoughts so far, Mike?

Oh yeah. It’s not as good as M3, but it’s amazing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

The New Magico S3 with Pass INT-250 and MSB Discrete DAC - YouTube Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Our pair has now been playing for nearly 2 weeks. 24/7. They are so so so enjoyable. A real slightly warm, very organic, natural sound. As good as the previous iterations of the S3 were, these are clearly superior in every conceivable...

I don't think you have a grasp on the full picture. I was responsible for a sector of our operations that had factories based on every continent save for Antarctica so I am (was) fully conversant on global sourcing decisions. It's easy to take...

Well maybe these generations could find real decent paying middle class jobs if our generation hadn't padded our bonuses and stock options by sending many of these jobs overseas, eliminating pension plans, and not allowing individuals to work a...

As if our parents and grandparents didn't say the same thing about our generation.

I was offered a white background and I didn’t want it. I like the black background. What’s funny is that the online/print mags are asking for “glam shots” to accompany the reviews. Guess they don’t like my poor iPhone photos. Sent...

Looking good!! Congrats!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Just for the sake of accuracy and for folks possibly interested in purchasing one, Adam was referring to the Venom-X clock cable, not the Venom cable. You're correct that it's presently only available as a 75-ohm impedance cable. Venom-X is a...

Agreed. The Venom-X clock cable is exactly the one I am using and I am very pleased with it. BTW, the Venom-X line are outstanding at their price points and in my experience, compete with cables costing multiples of their price point. Also...

Yes, the monos will ruin you! They are sooooooo good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I completely agree! They’re one of two of my favorite amps in the store. And clearly the Master 300’s are best looking! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Yep, me too. Put a Venom-X BNC clock cable on my AfterDark master clock for EtherREGEN. Really brought a nice improvement.

It’s officially called “pewter”, now to be called “Graphite Grey”. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Oh right. That was one of the two biggest fools on YouTube. So many of these fools trying to make a name for themselves by spouting nonsense and some of them love to spout lies. Heard the biggest fool the other day say “Vitus is bright….but I’ve...

Was this the fool that trashed NAIM or was that someone else? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Just heard the Magico S3 today, and I'm shocked at how good they are. Amazing speakers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I really like the "simple approach" as you've described here, Brodric. I've had a very similar experience when moving from my previous set-up to the Lumin P1 + an integrated amp. Similar to yours, it only requires a minimum of cables and such: 1...

Yes, as someone who owned a Baltic, it absolutely competes with a Baltic. In fact, it reminds me a lot of my Baltic-3. The Baltic is an absolutely lovely-sounding DAC, and the SoulNote is, as well. Very impressed.

Clickbait.

IIRC, MSRP in the U.S. is $7,000.

Just connected up the SoulNote D-1N D/A convertor tonight, and....VERY impressed. Very natural-sounding and engaging; voices are superb. This is a fabulous-sounding DAC.

A lovely and "simple" system. The nice thing about simple is..it always works. In my experience, the P1 is an excellent preamplifier.

You had one bad experience with one product. You should see what I see in a daily basis from dozens of brands. I had stupid SimAudio explaining that the reason the customers CD player went bad was because he clearly must have plugged the RCA...

It seems you have had only one mission on this forum and that is to trash Lumin. You’re a troll. All of your posts are trashing Lumin. You contribute nothing else. In contrast, there are thousands of happy Lumin customers who would strongly...

Or....Lumin could publish a detailed and accurate protocol for correctly installing and formatting hard drives to, and powering up, an L2. Then, the problem would be solved. Just in the interests of accuracy here, I didn't have any issues...
