LUMIN D3 > HighFidelity.pl review
Summary
The D3 FILE PLAYER BY LUMIN is a resolving device with a wonderful timbre . He plays all types of music with commitment and flair. It has limitations, of course. They consist primarily in unclear further plans and in bringing different recordings closer together in terms of timbre. It will always be big, dense and warm sound. Even with such highly compressed material as the debut album of ROBBI ROBERTSON, the guitarist of Dylan and the guitarist of the co-creator of the band's songs - nomen omen - The Band.
It's a great album, recorded with the participation of U2 and musicians Peter Gabriel, produced by Daniel Lanois, but its dynamics are very flat. D3 didn't change anything in this respect, but - on the other hand - it saturated it with colors, which made it really nice to listen to . And it was like that until the end of the listening sessions, each time something in the sound was "tweaked", improved. Which reminded me of the company's first devices.
But it's not the same message as back then. Now we get a much more transparent and expressive device that retains the warmth, density and scale that I liked so much in older players from this manufacturer. This is called progress.
