| CD or Streaming... am I missing out? Often similar topic discussions become framed as either/or, but truly both formats, as well as purchasing downloads, have their place. With streaming there is a tremendous amount of access to music, but not all music is added to these services l... | |
| Hdmi causes crosstalk between external preamp sources @andrewkelley May I ask, what had been your prior server(s)? | |
| Hdmi causes crosstalk between external preamp sources I suspect the issue is related to configuration with the Marantz AV8802a. I have an 8801. It has been some time, thankfully, since I have fooled around with configuration settings on it, but memory serves I had somewhat similar issue years ago. ... | |
| New Cary DMS 700 For those contemplating or recently purchased a Lumin T2, I recommend patience as the unit burns in. I do not have the T2, but do have an X1. For me I noticed substantial improvement at 200 hours, but even far finer at 400+ hours, which agrees w... | |
| Avoid Smallgreen computer Per my experience, I must disagree regarding response speed from Andrew/Small Green Computer. My most recent email question to him was on October 23rd this year. He responded within a few minutes. In looking at my various emails to him over tim... | |

| 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... | |
