I’ll test this when I get back to the office.
Hi Peter - After the latest Roon update, this is working properly again. The T3x goes to sleep with only the blue circle and pause showing.
I tested both Roon auto sleep, and Lumin built-in Idle Sleep, both work as expected in Roon Only mode.
So I’m in difficult decision to made, between P1 Mini and T3X, currently I’m using technics R 1000 int amp so I don’t need extra preamp functions of p1 mini( but maybe in future could add separate tube amp and then I could use it ) my dealer gives me marginal better price on p1 mini…I would like to hear your opinions, for me know I will use LUMIN for stream/dac. Is one better then the other?
This is such a difficult question to answer.
You’ve got
Inputs + front panel controls + Remote Control
vs
Higher quality chassis (styling/rigidity/damping/isolation) + more minimal circuitry
Everything else is the same.
If you really don’t need the inputs, controls and remote, then chooseT3X (even if it is slightly more expensive)
If those are useful, then choose P1 Mini.
Thx Alex do think sonicly this different chassis from t3x can make difference? On paper devices looks same as internal parts, so it would make sense to go one with more functions
All the differences together give T3X a slight advantage in pure sound quality (some will be system-dependent).
P1 Mini remains better value as long as you can make use of some of the additional features.

Yes, I got me a T3X and am very happy I did. Although I am/was not able to do a proper comparison and already loved what the T2 delivers I agree with previously commented differences. In my simple way of words it feels more present or closer.
My experience with a T2, ongoing support/updates from Lumin and the direct support via Peter, combined with users reviews made it an easy choice. Hearing the T3X deliver on the promise that creates is pure joy and happiness:-)

After proper burn in I am now stunned on the T3x performance. To me it is a very noticeable step up from the T2. I can hear even more details low mid and high, everything seems to be clearer without being brighter. As if it reinvented how to position the sound in my room and with succes. I feel ike the true identity of recordings is better revealed.
I am really enjoying it and it makes me want to listen more and more.
