Lumin X1

Probably too early to know but if the power supply is much better. Can you use the new one on the S1?

Reply again with more update: Although the X1 uses a different connector from S1 / A1 / T1, as shown in the web site we plan to offer the new X1 power supply separately as an upgrade to S1 / A1 / T1. Although the S1 / A1 / T1 DC power connectors are different from X1, we will come up with a different DC cable that makes them compatible.

That's a nice option. Thanks.

Have to say it looks really great in Black

Note that the black LUMIN badge under the front panel of the X1 looks white in the photo, probably due to lighting and exposure. In reality it is black.

Lumin X1 (Silver) causing my happy customer (previously used Lumin S1 and Ayre QX-5) to miss dinner:

Peter - Here are a few... I can't attest to the sound quality of any of these just found them with a search...

Here's a new model which uses FOUR ES9038PRO DAC chips (can easily translate in Chrome): http://www.kcsr.co.jp/detail_d2.html
Additional details here, also requiring translation: https://www.phileweb.com/news/audio/201806/14/19860.html

The one with the most DACs must sound best! :wacko:

 

[wklie]

Thanks, I knew about the first two, but was not aware of the others. The 4 DAC chip model looks interesting. For DAC that features a high DAC chip count, I recall Esoteric D-02X has 32 AK4490!

Impressive looking product, Peter. Thank you for the excellent pictures. Looks like a real winner!! Looking forward to user experiences, reviews.

I didn't really have time to listen to X1 that much (it's other people's jobs to listen critically, not mine). So it's a new discovery for me that X1 gives Lily Chan's voice from Purely SACD track #4 a jump in three dimensional quality, compared to S1 with volume matched. :celebrate008_2erhaps that comes from the improved transparency and imaging that has been said before.
