Lumin T2

The essence of T2 is: Dual ES9028PRO, DSD512, same processors and FPGA from X1, analog output stage and clocking system derived from X1. The chassis is shaped like the original A1 but is done in a way to fit the T2 pricing. MQA Roon Ready Qobuz Tidal Spotify Connect TuneIn features as before. An internal power supply is used.

In addition to the balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA analog outputs, T2 inherits the X1 feature of being able to be used a streamer to output to an external DAC via USB or BNC-SPDIF.

(The T2 model name always reminds me of Terminator 2 :lol: )

Peter - Can you clarify your comments on the “same processors” as the X1? According to Lumins site, the X1 uses ES9038PRO chips vs. the T2 ES9028PRO.

Thx!
 
Good afternoon friends foreros.Yo with my Lumin D2 I am happy. As you know it sounds very analog, very nice. And I wonder if they change the dac chip (saber 9028) will sound as good as the WOLFSON WM8741? Thank you. Greetings.
 
From the internal pictures the T2 also seems to have omitted the dual Lundahl output transformer coupling of the S1 and X1.

In the way we use the terminologies, ES9038PRO, ES9028PRO, and WM8741 are digital to analog conversion (DAC) chips. By "processor" we mean the CPU that deals with the digital signals, file format handling, network protocols, (optional) re-sampling, etc. without conversion to analog.

We think it is better. Please get an audition when you have the chance. We are shipping today so dealers will get the first units in the coming weeks.

Good observation. Yes, this is the primary difference in the analog output stages between T2 and X1.
 
[CITA = wklie; 258706] Creemos que es mejor. Por favor consigue una audición cuando tengas la oportunidad. Enviamos hoy para que los concesionarios obtengan las primeras unidades en las próximas semanas. [/ QUOTE]

Thank you very much for the reply. Regards

I just learned that we had a Lumin A1 (WM8741) user listen to T2 and he thinks T2 is much better.
 
I am from Argentina and there is no official dealer of the brand. On my next trip to LA I will visit upscaleaudio. Thank you. Greetings.
 
The T2 will most probably be my next upgrade from the D1 with external psu I have at the moment.
I always think (before upgrading anything) how can it get any better?
I'm always surprised [emoji846]
 
I am very curious to compare the T1 to the T2. I have the T1. Both the T1 and the A1 have external power supplies which I understood contributed significantly to the sound quality of these units. I am wondering how the internal switching power supply will compare. Seems like this is somewhat of a trade off. I will be interested to hear what others think...and particularly interested to hear from someone (Mike) who is able to do a side by side listening comparison.

I use the BubbleUPnP app.
Is my current Playlist saved on the Lumin or app?
Just wondering if I upgrade to the T2?

If you use BubbleUPnP app you'll need to find out whether the app itself supports some sort of playlist backup function.

In case the Bubble is using OpenHome (especially if you use Bubble DS Next) instead of just UPnP to control the Lumin player, then the current playlist also resides in the Lumin hardware - this makes it possible to use Lumin app to save the current playlist to the iPad and back up to iCloud. When you upgrade the Lumin player hardware, the playlist can be restored from iPad to the new player hardware.
