His review is well done.  As many know I also have the Lumin inhouse, and am putting together my notes for a review.   It will be interesting to compare my clearly less detailed review to his.  Spoiler: we do not agree on everything.  :)

My iUSB review has been to the publisher for weeks now!  i promised not to release until he does.   :(

Chord won't return my 3 emails, etc  To hell with them; life is too short. 

Matrix is next; first their inexpensive USB-SPDIF converter, then their X-Sabre DAC.

Looking forward to what you have to say about the XSabre, Ted. 

So for the Lumin, only way you can stream DSD is extracting DSF/DFF files, is that right?  (I breezed thru the review, and that's what I took away).  I'm also a bit disappointed that it doesn't have digital inputs so that you could use it as a DAC, or even a USB input.  I know it's a streamer, but I would think that would be a pretty obvious feature people would want and something that has deterred me from the Linn Klimax DS in the past.  I think the new DS has inputs though.

Regardless, great to see more units like this supporting DSD

Cool.
I would like to see it compared against another sabre dacs, such as the wyred4sound/Anedio d2/burson audio (conductor)

Hopefully you get your hands in one of them?  :)

Sabre?

You also have the Invicta, the iDac, the E20, the Calyx Femto, etc, no?
