| Has anyone added a Master Clock to UpTone EtherREGEN Yet? It’s Insane! @fsmithjack , do you know anyone who has a Lumin X1 and an ER and has added a master clock to the ER?I am running fiber from the A side of the ER to the X1 and would be interested if this clock upgrade is worthwhile in my scenario or not...Zsolt | |
| PS Direct Stream Vs. Lumin X 1 Sound quality difference? @ozzy I think the X1 does not have a built in transceiver, or at least mine doesn’t :) I have installed and tried different modules, it can be removed and replaced as it is shown on the diagram. | |
| Lumin X1 dont see many virtual audiogon systems with this? I am a happy X1 owner too, since last week I have the Lumin Amp as well. Previously I had the very fine Aesthetix Atlas Amp (Eclipse version) but I find the Lumin X1 - AMP combo even better. And I don’t think that the X1 should have more inputs ju... | |
| PS Direct Stream Vs. Lumin X 1 Sound quality difference? I also prefer the ethernet input to the fibre optic cable, which I find a little artificial sounding. I use an Uptone etherRegen with a DH Labs ethernet cable which I found did make an improvement. And I also prefer native file resolution - no up... | |
| Lumin U1 vs Lumin U1 mini + sbooster? The only thing that the standard U1 has here is a DAC and analog output. If you don’t need this and are still intending to do the Sbooster mod on the U1 MIni, then I would say go for the U1 Mini. The digital transport section is the same on both.... | |
| PS Direct Stream Vs. Lumin X 1 Sound quality difference? I use my Lumin X1 with a Cerious Technologies Graphene Matrix power cord. Thanks but I recently bought Siltech power cables and I am quite happy with them.Last night I had a ccouple of hours and was listening to the X1...after 2 weeks it sounds m... | |
| PS Direct Stream Vs. Lumin X 1 Sound quality difference? ozzy,Yes it has improved a lot after 200 hours continuos playing.I think I need at least one more week break-in, so I am not changing the fuse before that...Zsolt | |
| PS Direct Stream Vs. Lumin X 1 Sound quality difference? Not sure where you are in the breakin in process with your X1 but hang in there it does change quite a bit.I still have less than 100 hours. It is better than it was on the first day but still far from what I heard with the demo unit.Yes I have to... | |
| PS Direct Stream Vs. Lumin X 1 Sound quality difference? Hello Ozzy, I got my X1 last Thursday so I am in a similar situation. It does not sound good yet, it's really harsh and sometimes even unpleasant on some recordings. Luckily I had my dealer's demo unit on loan in my system before I ordered it... | |
| What is tour opinion on the Aesthetix Rhea signature and the Calypso signature Congratulations to your new Aesthetix gear!But @sdrsdrsdr is right, both your DAC and Phono (Rea) should be directly connected to the Calypso to get the best result, and not through that processor. I am currently running the Rhea into a Casablanca... | |
| Network Transport vs. CD Transport Hence my search for a wireless streamer/transport only.Before doing anything else I would test the existing setup with a temporary ethernet cable instead of Wifi. An EtherRegen is just icing on the cake, but still a significant difference.It mad... | |
| Network Transport vs. CD Transport Well, I have a different experience with Network Transport based on the tests I did in my system. I have Aesthetix gear, a Romulus CD/DAC (standard version) and Atlas/Calypso amplifiers (both Eclipse versions) and ML Montis speakers. By adding a L... | |
| Lumin X1 latest Review like we have been saying But along the way, he also dispenses some useful information, and as long as you understand that he also has an agenda - and everyone does understand this - there is nothing wrong with this, and his posts are often informative and interesting... | |
| Aesthetix system – with or without a line stage? Well, thanks for asking but I have not received it yet. It is hard to believe but after more than 4 months waiting it is still not ready. It seems they have serious supply and resource issues. If I don't get it in November I will look around on th... | |
| Why does my old CD player sound so much better than my new streamer? Introducing a good switch between the router and the streamer was the most significant upgrade. Which switch did you choose?I am looking at the SOtM sNH-10G switch but have not found many reviews yet... |
