This looks very interesting! No more SABRE. Fully discrete dual mono DAC section with a new Femto clock.

Ha! Was just reading about this. It’s been a looong time in the making.

Quite interested to hear about how this bad boy sounds.

I’m saying “finally no more Sabre!”

Interesting...I see they put IsoAcoustics footers on the main chassis.

Will the X2 support a CD transport? (Not apparent to me from specs.)

No

I won't assume that this is an improvement until I actually hear it. My Lumin T3 sound quality has been dependent on the Lumin app, and the app has been wonky since the middle of this year. I'll never spend that amount of coin if this new DAC can't obtain its best sound quality without the use of the Lumin app.

The X1 has been a great performer; I owned one for a few years. Looks like the X2 has a number of improvements which is great to see. Wish they would have added digital inputs in addition to Ethernet.

Lumin has always provided great support. Hope this is a great seller for them.
