| Lumin upgrade @jimboman got my answer to the question on how you are connecting streamer to dac. So did the U2 opened up the top end a bit? It should be a nice step up in resolution from the Mini. | |
| Cable upgrades Hey James I wanted to ask how are you connecting Lumin to Benchmark DAC? Are you going via USB or coax? | |
| Contemporary Classical Composers - new discoveries @mahler123 we may be missing out so let’s not worry about that criteria. The thread has evolved beyond it and I think it’s great. @mahgister went thru few of your recommendations. I’m familiar with Philip Glass’ work and wanted to give him ano... | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @julie_priest Weiss 501 is a dac with a built in network renderer. I wasn’t looking for a DAC upgrade. Also, I wasn’t interested in the twice as expensive as the N200 Grimm MU1. So, no, I didn’t audition these units. | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 Glad you enjoyed it! I’ll have to check that Krall album…haven’t heard it in a while | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @mclinnguy 😂 | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @mclinnguy lmao on a serious note, A Fortnight in France is one of my favorite Peanut Butter albums. It doesn’t come up on roon search or qobuz or tidal. Her cover of “Norwegian Wood” on Fortnight is amazing. Modern Cool is another missing one. ... | |
| Ripping CDs @rvpiano how many CDs do you need to rip? And I would start with the 💿 of artists/performances you can’t find on streaming. | |
| Ripping CDs @rvpiano you need a computer, cd-rom drive, SSD(highly recommend it, but HDD will also do) and software. I use dbPoweramp software to rip to FLAC. It’s very good. If you use free version it won’t pull artwork but you can find it on discogs and ju... | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 Lalit…no…not able to stream that PB album. I do have a 💿 rip of it though on the SSD that I installed in the N200 | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 Yep. Probably copyright related. | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @mclinnguy yup So with Roon or the Qobuz app I don’t see any of these anomalies. Something is odd with the way the Conductor pulls this in. Weird. I’ll check it in v3. | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 Yep none of these gripes are of any significance. One other thing I would love to have is similar to what roon does, show me all albums for the artist in both tidal and qobuz when I search. List it all from both providers and a library! One other... | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 There are few minor annoyances with the conductor 4 that aren’t deal breakers but nevertheless something that could be fixed. In example…when the iPhone locks or I’m in another app, the conductor loses connection to the n200. Have to reconnect to... | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @ghdprentice thanks! Staying up till 2am listening I’m sleep deprived but happy 😃 |
