Re: Lumin X1 - Audiophile Style review
If purchased as an upgrade for S1 / A1 / T1 / U1, the X1 power supply upgrade package comes with a special DC cable meant for S1 / A1 / T1 / U1.

Re: Lumin X1 - Audiophile Style review
I used an X1 power supply on my S1 for 2-3 months, and it was a great upgrade. Made the S1 sound even better. Then I bought the X1, and it was an even better upgrade.

Re: Lumin X1 - Audiophile Style review
Only issue I have with that review is that they only really listened to female artists, and one King Crimson track that sounded so so, I'd have preferred it if they'd listened to a wider range of material and genres.
I suppose that's why we hear so much of the same music at hifi shows, it's one the easiest to get right.
PS: I still like the Lumin kit and if I could afford one I would buy one

Re: Lumin X1 - Audiophile Style review
I have compared the X1 with other DACs costing 2 to 3 times more. The Lumin X1 does very well.

Re: Lumin X1 - Audiophile Style review
Sure, at my home MSB and Esoteric. At dealer, the same MSB and a Lampi. The MSB bested the X1 but it was not a night a day difference and it was much more expensive.
Ultimately, I decided to buy the X1 based on sound, ease to setup and use, looks, support and cost. Yes, one can do better but it would cost a heck of a lot more._______________

Re: Lumin X1 - Audiophile Style review
MSB Premier, Lampi Pacific, Esoteric K-05, Lumin S1 and X1. My favorites of that group were the MSB Premier and Lumin X1.
