Lumin A1

**Andik777** · June 6, 2019, 10:44 PM

Good day, I need your help, I got a new Lumin A1 in 4k. I currently have the D2, for which I am very happy, but I think that with the A1 I can improve the sound, am I right? Is it worth the expense to get the A1? Thank you.

Okay. It’s a translation issue.

I never heard the A1, but is supposed to be 3rd in line from a sound perspective. Currently, the X1 is top, followed by the S1, and then the A1. Of course, this is subjective with some preferring the A1 over the S1.

Thank you very much for your comment. Then 1 vote for the A1

The A1 should be a significant improvement over the D2 with the only thing similar being the Wolfson Chipset. Better case, better internal parts and the external power supply. It is the top of the Wolfson series. The S1 is the ESS alternative.

4 K for A1 ? That’s an amazing price. I regret that sold mine. I should kept it as second DAC

I went from a D1 to an A1. It was definitely worth the cost to upgrade. Better sound and better looks.

**Andik777** · June 7, 2019, 07:11 AM

Thank you very much for your opinions, my only doubt was because they no longer manufacture the A1, if one day something happens I do not know if Lumin solved my problem. Thanks once again. Greetings.

Given that the S1 was released a bit after A1, I'm curious how large of a gap in improvement does S1 have over the A1. Outside the different DAC chipsets, what other factors are contributing to the overall improvement in sound quality?

**Oly** · June 7, 2019, 02:01 PM

The differences come down to personal preference. I prefer the more analog sound of the Wolfson DAC in the A1. Other people like the enhanced detail of the Sabre chipset. To each his own.

Totally agree with you. I like analog sound more.

Please I need opinions about my doubt (they stopped producing the A1) is it a problem? Thank you.

If you think about support from Lumin , i dont think it will be a problem.

Hello everyone, finally I get the Lumin A1. I am really happy and happy for the performance of this wonderful streamer. I share some photos. Thanks and regards from Argentina.

**jadedavid** · August 29, 2019, 04:38 PM

Love your system and pictures.
Yes, the A-1 is a nice piece. It takes the "work" out of streaming and sounds darn good.
Congrats on your purchase.

Okay. You have had it for a couple of weeks. Time to upgrade to an X1.

When I read your message, I kept thinking and asked myself "Do you know me?"

Because I'm like that, every so often I change something of my set.

I think the A1 stays with me for a long time. I love how it sounds.

I have no doubts, but my desires and possibilities sometimes do not match.
