| The Proverbial "best amp" for Focal Sopra No. 1 @papyneau Int-250 that I recommended is 250w/ch into 8ohms. You must have checked out the specs on Int-25 by mistake. | |
| Qobuz sound quality intermittent issues? @ozzy62 Tidal definitely sounds better in my system. Not sure when you last compared the two if it’s been few years I would recommend checking Tidal out again. | |
| Qobuz sound quality intermittent issues? Sorry to hear that but it will most likely show its ugly head from time to time. I switched to Tidal and my Qobuz subscription runs out in Dec. Tidal sounds better to me and is consistent. I also switched from AURALiC to Lumin and I think that hel... | |
| Lumin U1 Mini - how to set up Network *without* Ethernet cables? @ozzy62 Yup 100%. @audiotroy I’m gonna give it another shot later today but last time I tried it resulted in a somewhat diffused soundstage (which can be interpreted as larger but less precise and less defined) and a skinnier bottom end. ... | |
| Lumin U1 Mini - how to set up Network *without* Ethernet cables? @julie_priest FYI - Tidal is always 44 kHz, 16 bit, with usually 1411 kbps as I have a 1 GIG wifi connection in a big city. No need for upsampling etc, although Bridge II also does upsampling with a hardware switch. I've never needed it. Sound ... | |
| Lumin U1 Mini - how to set up Network *without* Ethernet cables? Optical digital cable? Really? Well there’s your issue right there! You opted for the worst possible way to connect your transport/streamer to DAC. Use USB or AES or SPDIF…anything but optical. Also, U1 Mini needs about 150-200hrs to break in t... | |
| RCA interconnect recommendation @smaarch1 glad to hear you like the Zens! I’ve used many different interconnects throughout the years after selling the AZ matrix II and silver II years ago and recently came back to Acoustic Zen once again. They just let the music flow. | |
| The Proverbial "best amp" for Focal Sopra No. 1 MA8900 is a solid choice. Add Pass Labs Int-250 to the list as well. Used it may be within your budget. | |
| Lumin U1 Mini - how to set up Network *without* Ethernet cables? I use eero mesh and run Supra Cat8 from eero to my Lumin U1 Mini. Excellent sound. @ozzy62 Agreed…Lumin app is unusable on phone. Overall by far not the best UI around. But if you use Tidal as your streaming service lumin has this nifty feat... | |
| Position of speaker cables and irregular behavior Let me ask… how far are your speakers apart center to center? what is your distance to each speaker? how close to each other can you position your speakers? I would pull them together like 5.5-6ft apart center to center than listen from about 6... | |
| New pre-amp purchase advice A used Rogue RP-1. Fits the budget and has a surprisingly good phono stage. I used it with Hana EL with great results. | |
| To Roon or not I cancelled Roon over a year ago because the Auralic Aries G1 sounded better w/Lightning DS than with Roon. I now have Lumin U1 Mini and decided to give Roon another shot and I must say this time around it’s a keeper! Sound quality is great, awes... | |
| Qobuz stops playing via Roon. Sounds like your network is a problem here. Do the speed test. Make sure your laptop running Core is hardwired to your router. Roon is pretty solid from network standpoint and should work fine. I run mine on mac mini with Lumin U1 Mini as end poin... | |
| Qobuz stops playing via Roon. I was wondering if you enable your iPad as a roon end point it can be both the remote and end point (player). Try it that way. Then try Lumin native app and see if it also cuts out. May be you have a faulty Ethernet cable connected to Lumin? I wou... | |
| Qobuz stops playing via Roon. Running on what is what I was looking for mostly. can you enable another device as end point and try to stream to it and see if same issues persist? This could be your ipad or phone. if that works then there's something with your device settings... |
