Lumin T2 Network Music Player Review

Hindsight is 2020.

Ode to Joy.

Back when it was our goal to play in the Arsenio Hall band and develop synthesizers (now, how is that for being a comedian), Korg's T1 Music Workstation - with 88 piano weighted style keys - was added to the system.

Did we play it well?

Never the less, being a gigging musician, we always wanted a Korg T2 - wth 76 keys, and much less weight and size - the T1, though not a Fairlight CMI, was considerable in these respects - as it had from an audience perspective, very much the same sound and effect, with none of the drawbacks, and should of added it to the system.

But we already had the T1. Aah.

Who doesn’t like more than a little Beethoven? 9.

Wendy / Walter Carlos certainly was a fine juxtaposition.

We should write Lumin and ask for the T1 or X1 (as it is now called)! :-)

It would be a good start to go back to reviewing reference audio equipment.

With DSD 512 and PCM 384 kHz, the Lumin T2 should satisfy many T+A over-sampling aficionados (owners and users of the T+A DAC) in offering a very attractive package.

With Dual ES9028PRO SABRE DAC's it should satisfy us, not just visually, but audibly too.

A 32 bit (is it floating point?) volume control theoretically offers 192.66 dB dynamic range (if decimal) and 1,528 dB (if FP).

Lumin - should we buy it?
