| Synthesis Amplifiers: One of High End's Best Kept Secrets? @waltersalas, I may have missed it, but saw in this thread you were evaluating USB cables. Did you come to a decision on the Muon USB? I would be interested in your USB evaluation conclusions. Thanks in advance | |
| Is it still worth buying a Lumin x1 in 2023? I anticipate you will receive additional DAC suggestions not on your list plus suggestions to change other components in your system. I have an X1 plus other DACs--unnecessary extravagance I know. I have not owned nor listened to the other DACs... | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend @verdantaudio, Christiaan Punter at hifi-advice.com very recently did highly favorable reviews on Playback Designs MPS-X and then later on MPD-6. I have been a fan of his review style. The MPD-6 in his review had the Steam-X2 option installed. ... | |
| Lumin X1 and Upgraded DC umbilical cord for power supply. ozzy, It has been over 2-1/2 years since I purchased the EVP's and only a week separated getting shipment of them in for X1 and then power supply.

| Lumin X1 and Upgraded DC umbilical cord for power supply. I have been using AV RoomService felt EVP (Equipment Vibration Protectors) under my Lumin X1 and also under the X1 power supply in lieu of the standard feet. I use them under the body of both, not under the existing feet. | |

| DACs that do well without a preamp LUMIN X1 utilizing Leedh Processing going direct to amp is very, very good. I also have a Mola Mola Makua preamp with DAC. In initial testing, I slightly preferred to utilize the Makua preamp volume control vs the Leedh Processing user optiona... | |
| Are There Roon Ready I2S Streamers? I believe the K50 list did increase to $17,500. The Antipodes K22, however, also has I2S output and list price for it is $9,000. If interested in Antipodes, you could also consider the S Series, which are separates as opposed to all in one box f... | |
| Why is Esoteric N-05 playing my hi-res music files as MP3 320? I believe LUMIN does app software work for Esoteric. Wklie is LUMIN Firmware Lead and is very responsive to these type questions for LUMIN as well as app for Esoteric. I do not recall seeing him active here, but he is active on Audioshark and ... | |
