Reviews
Although the LUMIN T3 has jumped by $1,000 in price over the T2 that it replaces, in its defence, the company didn't change the price of its predecessor throughout its product life – despite significant inflationary pressure. So now, while keeping all the updates and improvements in mind, this new model still represents good value.
Two things make it stand out from the crowd. First is the excellent sound quality, its dynamics and sheer drive giving life and excitement to music. Secondly, the ongoing software maintenance and support from the factory provide peace of mind and confidence in the purchase being future-proof. The assurance of timely customer assistance and cost-free feature upgrades for many years is a big drawcard because, in my view, a digital device is only as good as its support.
It's more than just an update to the popular T2, then. In reality, the new LUMIN T3 is an ever better sounding device than its predecessor – with skillful improvements that make it one of the finest players at its price point.
