Another New Lumin User


I just bought a T2, the learning curve is a bit steep for me, every part of it is a new experience, including even the IPad. Still, I’m very impressed with the sound quality. The app is going to take awhile to learn, but seems not too bad, so far (I’m only 3 days into this). I’ve never paid for a high quality streaming service, either, so I just chose one, Tidal. Went with their $20/month plan. As far as the Lumin unit itself, I have two minor complaints. Number one, the housing on the thing is pretty nice, beautiful brushed aluminum finish, in silver. But c’mon folks, show some love, ease the edges on the damn thing, don’t just screw it together off the CNC machine and throw it out the door. All of the corners are as sharp as can be. And it’s not like the thing was $399. The other deal is the design, with the sides and top that overhang the back panel so far. Looks kinda cool, but almost can’t reach the on/off toggle switch. Part of that is due to the thing being shorter, front to back, so it doesn't extend as far towards the back of the rack as everything else does. Those two picky things aside, I’m both impressed. and happy with the purchase. No questions yet, figured I’d keep muddling my way along, but comments are welcome. Thanks.

Lumin is constrained to the features available to them by the Tidal supplied API just like the rest of the streamer manufacturers.  I have owned streamers with different apps from four and none of them have all of the features of the desktop app and never will until Tidal makes it available to them.  You can now try Tidal Connect and see if that is more satisfactory to you but as it is relatively new they are still working through some bugs.
