Lumin A1 Network Music Player

Time to get off the DAC merry-go-round.  A network streamer with full DSD capabilities is next in line in the digital evolution.  Since it's launch, news of LUMIN A1 has spread to all corners of the globe, with awards and reviews coming from the industry's most respected websites and magazines.

In my review on Audioshark.org, I said the Lumin A1 "...stands up to all comers.  I spent many hours listening to the Lumin and every time found my toes tapping."   Computer Audiophile described LUMIN as "the network player by which all others should be judged" and 6moons' Joël Chevassus described DSD through LUMIN as "the most exciting audio experience I've yet had".

I am selling this Lumin A1 for a friend who has moved up to the Lumin S1.   I have inspected the unit myself and it is flawless (no scratches or marks that I could see and works and sounds beautiful).

The A1 is less than 6 months old.
