From Denafrips Pontus to Lumin

I'm thinking to pass from my Denafrips Pontus (with sotm 200ultra / sotm500 / sotm tx usb ultra)
to new Lumin T2 (or also old Lumin A1)
unfortunately I do not know the lumin sound, I cant try it at home.
could it be an upgrade?

Made me go look up Denafrips Pontus. Nice review from Singapore.Hard to say, Not common stuff around USA. Maybe some Asian, Australian folks can give you a heads up.

I love my Lumin S1, but will move to the U1 since I don’t need the internal DAC.  I have had many different Aurenders [N100H, X100L! N10) and also own an Auralic Aires G2.  The Lumin is vastly superior to all the above, but at its price new it should be.

There are two different Lumin sounds. Part of the lineup uses ESS and the other part Wolfson chips so it matters which sound profile you prefer as to which you may like better.
