| Digital front end upgrade options James- Not sure what you’re ultimately working up to but please keep in mind that the Node 2i has a built in dac and the U2 Mini is a transport (no dac). So considering these two devices alone the purchase of the Lumin would likely leave you shop... | |
| Any Guidance on How to Get my Lampizator Big 7 (DSD) Working with HQPlayer and Room? Have you gone through the HQ Player threads at Audiophile Style? There are dedicated HQ and Roon forums on that site and I believe the developers answer questions directly. | |
| Signalyst HQPlayer - Is it worth the upgrade? Hey Lalit- Have you by chance read through the many threads/posts by Miska and the members at Aphile Style? I know there are more than a few Merging owners there. HQ Player Software | |
| Lumin U2 mini music streamer I use a gen 9 IPad with my Lumin U2 Mini and Qobuz and agree that the Lumin app is not really intuitive when you first start using it but you get used to it quickly. Not sure about playlists as I don’t use them- I usually store titles to favorites... | |

| Lumin U2 mini vs Mac laptop sound test @johnah5 What I find interesting is that you didn’t mention having to adjust volume when switching between USB and AES during your test. Do you remember having to make adjustments to match the differences in output levels or is just that there w... | |
| Distorted 24-bit/192kHz PCM using iFi Zen One Signature DAC? @atp001 AES3 calls for 192 frames per block and 24 bit is fully supported so unless there is a hardware issue you shouldn’t be having problems.
