| B&W 802 d3 vs 803 d3 I upgraded from the 803D3 to the 802D3 about 6 months ago. I was a little unsure about upgrading as I did like the 803D3’s sound and I felt they were a big upgrade compared to my prior 804D2’s. However, I thought the 802D3’s were another big step ... | |
| Upgraded amp for B&W 802d3 So with going with an amp with high current as opposed to watts, would this mean an amp with m high class A output? | |
| Upgraded amp for B&W 802d3 Soix, which Pass Labs amp? The 600.8? That one is a little above my pay grade 😀. Maybe the 350.8 stereo amp? | |
| New Cary DMS 700 Please let us know your thoughts as compared to Lumin when you get one in. | |
| Gimme Some Truth John Lennon I have not listened to the CD or vinyl, but have listened to the Blu-ray. I really like the new mix but is very bass heavy compared to previous mixes. I like it but many think the bass is much too forward in the mix. John’s voice is also cleare... | |
| Lumin app, Teac HR streamer app, Esoteric app problem. I am having issues with Qobuz when using my Lumin streamer. I hit a certain song in my playlist and then my unit won’t play and the display turns off and on. The app then loses connection with Qobuz. I reset and tried a different song and it was f... | |
| Ditching Lumin T2 - Lumin U1 Mini or Bluesound Node 2i Did you try setting the T2 to low output from normal? The normal voltage of 6 volts was too much for my processor, and made it sound harsh and distorted. I switched to low, which is 4 volts, and it was much better. | |
| Lumin T2 burn in time? Thingswelike,Does changing the output setting from normal to low on my Lumin T2 change any of the dynamics, or does it simply lower the volume. I noticed The specs on my Classe processor say maximum XLR analog input is 4VRMS (which I think is volt... | |
| PS Direct Stream Vs. Lumin X 1 Sound quality difference? Peter at Lumin recommends having it run 24/7 for at least 2 weeks. He has said it does not have to be run with amps on, so I would run a continuous playlist all night for 2 weeks. | |
| PS Direct Stream Vs. Lumin X 1 Sound quality difference? I initially thought my T2 sounded a little harsh on some music with higher pitched vocals, such as Genesis and some female singers. After the first week or so I thought I had made a mistake, and thought about returning it. I will say it improved c... | |
| Lumin T2 burn in time? A lot of people on other audiophile sites such as AudioShark claim they think it provides for an even better sound. By using Leedh, You put your preamp in unity gain and control the volume using the Lumin app. By doing this, it basically takes th... | |
| Lumin T2 burn in time? Anyone using a Lumin with a preamp try the Leedh volume control? | |
| Lumin T2 with Anthem STR preamp signal going through both DACs? If you are using the Anthem DAC via USB from the Lumin, you are sending a digital signal, not analog. Thus the Anthem will only process it once, as a digital signal. You are correct that the Anthem will not, however, be able to decode a MQA sig... | |
| Lumin T2 with Anthem STR preamp signal going through both DACs? I tried it both ways and ended up preferring the connection through balanced inter - connects with no DSP. It was a little more dynamic that way as opposed going through my Wolfson 8741 chip in my Classe. However, my XLR cables are much better tha... | |
| Lumin T2 with Anthem STR preamp signal going through both DACs? I think you will get the sound character of the T2 either way. However, in my experience, using DSP alters the signal somewhat. I found using digital bypass made the music much clearer and more natural. But I would try it both ways and see wha... |
