Hi Peter, thanks for the link, I have a question. I want to buy the X1 power supply for my A1, as I see the cable that connects the inputs are different, that is A1 has an 8-pin input and the 9-pin X1 source, in this case how will the connection be? Thank you very much.

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.

Perfect. Thanks Peter

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.

Thanks for commenting BlueFox, I read a lot about the power supply of X1, so I decided to make this purchase.

Yet another very positive review of the Lumin X1. I concur, it is a terrific unit.

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

Thank you for your comment, I am already sure that I want the power supply of the X1, my only problem is to bring to Argentina, because there is no official distributor of Lumin (for now)

Good luck in your quest.

I have compared the X1 with other DACs costing 2 to 3 times more. The Lumin X1 does very well.

Are you able to comment on which dacs you compared the X1 with, and your impressions of how they compared?

[Ritmo]

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.

That’s good information. Thanks.

Mike, which MSB and which Esoteric?

[Ritmo]

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