    Lumin X1: Enabling an Even Simpler Yet Better Sounding System

    The Lumin L2 just sounds fantastic connected to the X-1 through the optical network. Excellent music server! I had the L-1 before, and the improvement is big. Also, to my ears, there is no need for all the network filters/isolators any longer. I threw away the Gigafoil V4 and the Jcat isolator...

    What's the best nas server? Innuos or Melco???

    I used to own the Melco N1ZH and didn't like it. IMHO, its sound is too aggressive and the soundstage is too narrow.
