BugPowderDust Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Item Condition: Excellent Shipping Options: Pickup available but audition is not available.,Shipping is available at agreed cost. Suburb or Town: Macedon Ranges or Melbourne CBD State: VIC Payment Method: EFT, PAYID, Cash on Pickup, Paypal on request, buyer to pay fees Reason for selling: Upgraded Lumin T2 Network Streaming DAC I've recently upgraded from the Lumin T2 to a MSB Premier DAC so this is now superfluous to needs. [No the Fender Stratocaster in the background doesn't come with it] This is a top tier streaming DAC capable of supporting playback of PCM up to 384 kHz and DSD512 with optional internal upsampling to DSD128 and PCM 384 kHz. The Lumin app is great, with support for Spotify, MQA, Tidal, Qobuz, tuneIn and Airplay. The T2 will also happily function as a Roon endpoint where it did most of its heavy lifting for me. I have upgraded this unit to the latest and greatest firmware and it has not missed a beat in its time with me. It is in excellent condition, not a scratch on it. It comes in the original double box with all accessories and the receipt from purchase in 2019. The Lumin T2 has a 2 year global warranty so there is still time to run on this. If you're looking for something to take your streaming digital playback to the next level, this is the device for you.

The MSB Premier configured with the Powerbase, renderer, SPDIF IO and the femto upgrade is a lot more than 4 times the Lumin T2. The sound quality on the T2 is fantastic, I guess I just find the MSB a little more liquid or fluid sounding if that makes sense? There's a massive law of diminishing returns though. 3 hours ago, NIN said: What brand of upgrade do you recommend, LUMIN or third party? I haven't put in a LPS as I think their value in high quality equipment to be dubious at best. However, this is the one I've seen people on the Roon forum use and claim good results: https://www.sbooster.com/botw-pp-eco-12-13v/lumin-t2-streamer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
