Enjoying LEEDH Processing….

With my Lumin T2 connected to my PrimaLuna integrated. I removed the pre-amp circuit completely using the HT bypass settings. I am still able to use Roon. I am hearing significantly more detail that is not analytical but more organic. The soundstage and imaging have improved very noticeably. I will go back to the full function with the pre-amp in a few weeks for comparison but I really like what I’m hearing right now. YMMV.

Ozzy, apparently yes is the answer to your question. Please go to the Roon community website and open the LUMIN hardware discussion group and you will see someone who asked this exact same question and you can see how he has configured things

Carlsbad, as you know, there are many in our hobby who like what a pre-amp does sonically for their system. And then there are others who like to run direct into an amplifier. I think we would all agree it’s the  gear and ears dependent on the choice that’s made. I have only one combined source unit so this simple set up seems to be working for me

Ozzy,

Because the sound is so much improved I am now thinking of just changing to a power amplifier without any need to ever use a preamp

This is what makes our hobby fun, experimenting with our gear and seeing if we like sonic changes. I never would have thought removing the preamp would have changed the sound to my liking but it sure did
