This is the kind of feedback everybody loves to read about.
* Nice avatar Mark!
** Mike your avatar is cool too, in a different way.
*** Nelson, your avatar is ok.
Man - I guess I don't count.
How's my avatar?
You can say it! Don't hold back.
Last night Jock brought his Lumin over for a little comparison with the Linn Akurate DS. The Lumin sounded a little better than the Linn, it wasn't a huge difference but it was enough that I ordered one this morning. It's a very musical sounding streamer and I preferred it over the Linn. Nothing against the Linn,it's a fantastic player in it's own right. But in my system, the Lumin is just a little better.
So...............yes Mike, you were right :disbelief:
Mark and Jock were right - network music players are vastly superior. When I think about all the DACS I went through, I just shutter. To me, buying a DAC is like buying half a car. The DAC manufacturer has no clue what USB cable you are using, whether you're using a Mc, Windows or Linux machine, whether you are using a laptop or desktop, what your hardware looks like (SSD VS HD or soundcard or PS), they have no idea what software you are using, etc. Too much of a crapshoot.
WOW! Congrats Mark!
Congratulations, Mark, on the new Lumin. I'm also considering the Lumin and currently have a Linn Klimax. I had enjoyed the Akurate DS before moving to the Kimax, which was a pretty big step up, so Im curious if anyone has compared the Klimax with the Lumin. Im considering the Lumin primarily for its DSD capabilities, but am curious how it compares with the Linn on standard and hi-Rez PCM. Thanks in advance for comments.
