| Does Anyone Currently Make an Ethernet to I2S Renderer? I am using 2 devices to accomplish this--a Sonore microRendu to a Matrix X-SPDIF-2. I already had the microRendu when I purchased the Matrix. I do not know if there is a single unit for this. | |
| PS Direct Stream Vs. Lumin X 1 Sound quality difference? I have also recently swapped power cord from another component. It did change the presentation, so this may be something worth exploring after major hour break-in. | |
| PS Direct Stream Vs. Lumin X 1 Sound quality difference? Ozzy,I did some comparisons over the long weekend with my PS Direct Stream and my Lumin X1. My impressions are my own perceptions on my on own system. I also did not level match the various combinations I tested. I came away with renewed respec... | |
| PS Direct Stream Vs. Lumin X 1 Sound quality difference? Ozzy,I have both but not compared them the same way yet. With the DirectStream (DS), I have connected via microRendu both with USB and then with Matrix from microRendu and then I2S to preamp. The Lumin X1 takes significant break-in of at least 2... | |

| Does the 'Buck' Start with the DAC? yyzsantabarbara,I recently have aquired a Lumin X1 and have connected via optical fiber converted by etherRegen from copper. My server currently is a SonicTransporter i5 CDR. From the Lumin X1 I have Triode Wire XLR's into a Vinnie Rossi L2 Stat... | |
| Lumin X1 or dCS Bartok jriggy, If you have not seen, you might want to check out https://audiophilestyle.com/forums/topic/57261-sonore-compact-disc-digital-audio-streaming/It's an interesting idea. Used microRendu units are pretty reasonable and 2.8 card from Sonore to... | |
| Luxman d-08u vs berkeley reference 2 dac In looking at specs on luxmanamerica.com website, it appears the D-03X CD does not use the LuXman original Disc Transport Mechanism. I have read many times this transport mechanism is highly praised but also expensive. It will be interesting to ... | |
| Luxman d-08u vs berkeley reference 2 dac I have read Luxman is releasing two new transport DAC models using a different DAC chip than what has been current models. I have yet to see notification of availability in the U.S. yet, but had been shown in Japan in later 2019. | |
| Preamps with Dual XLR Outputs Vinnie Rossi Signature L2 can be configured with dual XLR balanced outputs. Standard is single pair XLR, single pair RCA's, and single pair trigger outputs for amps. Either the RCA's or triggers can be changed to XLR's. | |
| Luxman DA-06 Dac...anyone? I actually like the standard cord of the Luxman DA-06 in my system. I tried a number of different Kaplan cords I have as well as well as a Triode Wire Labs Seven Plus. These cords worked very well with with my SLP-05 preamp and Sonic Orbiter but t... | |

| Should I upgrade home theatre to one with HDMI? You can use optical or coaxial from a BD or DVD player but as has been noted, you will not have the newer higher resolution audio formats not present in your Denon. I have had a similar dilema, running HDMI to my plasma, but making compromises wit... | |
| Preamp modifications - who would you use? I too believe Tvad is giving very good advice to consider. There is also the question of what happens should you ever need to send the unit back to the original manufacturer for any repair or work. What happens then to the modded parts and work? G... |
