| Qobuz Connect Launched Yesterday I dunno if it’s just me, but… I’m hearing a slight collapsing of the soundstage and possibly a touch less brightness when using Qobuz Connect vs the Lumin app, on my Lumin U2. I recognize this shouldn’t be possible, should it? I felt it right o... | |
| Qobuz Connect Launched Yesterday Aha, a Qobuz app update on my iPhone did the trick. Now I see my Lumin U2 on the list. Works as advertised. Best, JAMES. | |
| Qobuz Connect Launched Yesterday Is anyone able to find out how to use it with an iOS device to control the streamer, a la Tidal Connect? I can see Qobuz Connect on the Mac app, but can't see it on my iPhone/iPad. Thanks, JAMES. | |
| Hlep chosing a streamer/server for my DAC Hello: I'd toss in a recommendation for the Lumin U2. It's an excellent streamer, bullet-proof, solid build, built-in optical ethernet, dedicated USB HQ output module, excellent tech support, and works well with their Lumin app, Tidal Connect (o... | |
| Vinshine X Collaboration with Kinki Studio, TheTai Hang power enhancer @alvin1118 One other question: does the US plug model come in the Grey finish, or only Silver? Thanks, JAMES. | |
| Vinshine X Collaboration with Kinki Studio, TheTai Hang power enhancer Hi @alvin1118 I’m intrigued by the Tai Hang. A couple questions: - can it be placed near other equipment, or do you recommend a further distance to avoid any interference? - the images show the device with silver ’pucks’ underneath the attache... | |
| Advice on Optical Ethernet Conversion @sns Would you have information about the Mundorf silver/gold DC cables? I see there are various gauges/types available. You DIY-ed the cables, correct? I would be ordering from Parts Connexion in Canada. Thanks, JAMES. | |
| Advice on Optical Ethernet Conversion Also forgot to mention, don't have an LPS on the fibre modem...had issues with a previous modem that died after 6 months, with an LPS attached. I like my fibre internet, and don't wanna risk messing it up! | |
| Advice on Optical Ethernet Conversion @sfpeloton Thanks for the detailed response regarding your LPS adventures. I've got a cheap 'n cheerful Topping LPS powering two switches: a TP Link for the computer network/wifi stuff, and a TrendNet switch for the audio side. After experimen... | |
| Advice on Optical Ethernet Conversion @sfpeloton Yes, the Lumin/Bricasti seems to be a lovely pairing. Really enjoying it. Took a look at your system page - nice stuff! For DSD playback, did you have to set Roon to play DSD over DoP? I tried sending native DSD via upsampling on ... | |
| Advice on Optical Ethernet Conversion @sfpeloton I’m loving the M3. It’s a significant improvement to my system. Very musical and articulate. I run the OM via fibre direct into a Lumin U2, then to the Bricasti via Lumin’s dedicated USB port. My M3 doesn’t have the Ethernet option... | |
| Advice on Optical Ethernet Conversion Thanks for your comment, @sfpeloton I meant to circle back to say I ended up purchasing the OpticalModule Deluxe with a SGC linear power supply. In testing it with the cheaper FMC, I would say the audible difference was marginal, but the overal... | |
| DAC for Aurender N200 @audphile1 I’ve got a Wireworld starlight Platinum 8 and an AQ Diamond for USB. Will start with those thanks again for the advice and encouragement Apologies to everyone for hijacking thread…don’t have ability to DM at the moment :-) best... | |
| DAC for Aurender N200 @audphile1 thanks for the DM. Yes, it’s the $2500 M3H unit in LA. the seller doesn’t think it has an MDx board in it…but either way, I’m looking forward to adding it to my system. does yours have the Ethernet board? I have a Lumin U2, and am... | |
| Are using hearing aids for stereo listening like trying to push a river through a straw? Hello: I had a pair of Phonak aids for two weeks, and surprisingly, I really enjoyed them listening to my system. Like you, I didn’t absolutely need aids, but do have fairly substantial loss in the high frequency range. Once I tweaked the hearin... |
