Lumin T2 Network Music Player

I was struck by the Lumin T2s easy delivery and big, open sound. What was especially impressive was how it reconciled what might seem aural opposites: clarity and warmth, delicacy and strength, speed and color. More than any other digital source component Ive had in my system, the Lumin T2 got out of the way and delivered the music.

GORDON BROCKHOUSE, SIMPLIFI SOUNDSTAGE!

The T2 comes close to the X1’s fast-paced nature, transparency, and dynamic quality, and that’s quite an acheivement for its given price. It was great to discover that in spite of the T2’s open and transparent nature, it was no stranger to organic life-like warmness when needed.
