LUMIN X2 review!

The Absolute Sound have published their fantastic review of LUMIN X2 while also sharing experiences of LUMIN L2 Music Library.

During the review, Neil Gader states:
-----------
"...for Lumin everything up to this point has been prologue to the X2.”

"The Lumin X2 excels in an almost clairvoyant ability to communicate the lifelike silences in a venue, the musical rests and pauses, the decay of a note, the moments when players and audience alike are taking a breath."

"...as if hearing that piece of music for the first time through a fresh set of ears. Rediscovery."

"it exuded a tingly presence factor, a centeredness and poise that elevated the physical and tactile to a higher level"

"The sheer musicality and naturalism of the Lumin X2 blows past the data and transcends commonly quoted stats..."
-----------

The Absolute Sound issue 372 July/Aug 2026 is available to buy online and on newstands now!

Thank you to our US distributor Source Systems for organising this review unit.

Sad and beatiful, Bruce Soord's new album deals with loss and memory. Very much worth a listen. https://tidal.com/album/500681895/u

The newest DAC from Garlubidor, the Phantom, sits at the entry level of the line. A very promising R2R design with Divinity DNA. $1299 from Tweek Geek.

The Phantom from Garlubidor is the little brother of the Divinity DAC. Like the Divinity, it is an R2R style DAC with a volume control, balanced and single ended outputs, OXCO clocks and a linear power supply. So far all that can be discerned from the available information is that there is only one....

Better Sonic Results Than a Power Conditioner Let's be honest — the reason most of us invest in high-end power conditioning comes down to sound. Protection and voltage stabilization matter, but if a conditioner came with sonic trade-offs, most of us would pass. And if you could get better sound wi...
