| PS Direct Stream Vs. Lumin X 1 Sound quality difference? @emailists,I believe there have been different volume recommendations in the past for the DirectStream, particularly in use with a preamp, often discussed with PS Audio BHK Pre. I believe Ted Smith made some changes, Redcloud or Windom, that addr... | |
| Better CD Sound: The Search I have read PS Audio's price reduction/sale at $3,999 on the PST (PerfectWave SACD Transport) has been extended past the end of this month to the end of the year. | |
| PS Direct Stream Vs. Lumin X 1 Sound quality difference? ozzy,The EtherRegen is currently out of the chain of equipment. It worked very well for me when I was using a Small Green Computer i5 CDR server. Early this year I added a PF Buffalo switch and Sean Jacobs power supply for it. In May I added ... | |
| PS Direct Stream Vs. Lumin X 1 Sound quality difference? I have experimented with both fiber optic as well as Cat 5 and 6 to my Lumin X1 both with and without the EtherRegen. Other equipment pieces have come in during this time. I do think there are perceived sound signature differences I noticed wit... | |
| Better CD Sound: The Search While I have purchased preowned audio gear, I am more hesitant on preowned CD players. I too went through tray issue with an original purchase Integra Research CD/SACD player that had pretty light usage. It was out of warranty and no longer sol... | |
| Recommendation for new cables frankie67,You have some very nice pieces of audio equipment, but doubtful you will find someone with your exact setup. What specifically are you looking to add or change in your sound profile results with new cabling? | |
| Help me pick one of four music servers/streamersreqi FYI, Lumin units are Roon Ready streamers or Roon Ready streamer DACs, but are not servers, so would require Roon Core to run on a separate music server or installed on a separate computer. I have not heard the D2. I do have an X1, which I lik... | |
| Is there such thing as a "vocal" forward DAC? I agree with chayro. Room acoustic treatments, even quite modest ones can very much impact presentation and perception of image depth. You may also find experimenting with existing power cord and cable swaps with existing equipment to be reward... | |
| Ethernet cable for Streaming Suggest you might want to consider running fiber optics. There are relatively inexpensive routers with that capability and there are a number of switches with it should you wish to convert back to copper into streamer. | |
| PS audio new 25K dac and the psychological effect of owning a company's best. Admittedly, I have not been keeping up with the info on the proposed TSS DAC from PS Audio and do not know if the $25K will be the release price. As I recall, this is to be a 2-box unit with one for digital and the other for analog. Ted Smith ... | |
| Denon DCD-A110 vs Luxman D-03x Quality of the source recording and mastering will be significant. I do not have a great number of SACDs. Many of those are of older music that have been reissued and mastered to SACD. For me, I no longer purchase SACDs and instead download DS... | |
| Lumin Ap on Lumin players - not so good? You have read the Lumin Online Manual, especially sections 5 and 6 as it relates to Lumin App, correct? I suggest you actually use the manual for each shown subsection with your unit to experience what happens. I suspect you may want to specifi... | |
| Lumin Ap on Lumin players - not so good? My experience has been you can add music to the music playing in the left panel. You can add the whole album by press selecting the album or single tap music change view for all the songs and select those you want to add. If you add using the a... | |
| Lumin Ap on Lumin players - not so good? jumia,If I understand you correctly, you wish to add more than one playlist from Qobuz to play in the App. You can do so. The left hand list you see is the active loaded music to play. When that list plays through or you tire of that assortment... | |
| Lumin Ap on Lumin players - not so good? I understand frustrations with learning new software and hardware. I am past the stage of wanting to endlessly tweak all the options available and much more in the mode of wanting ease of use. However, I disagree posting that Lumin App is a mess... |
