PS Direct Stream Vs. Lumin X 1 Sound quality difference?
three_easy_payments,Yes, I am using the Stillpoints Ultra SS under the X1. I just tried it without the Stillpoints and I prefer it with the Stillpoints. The SS provide a more focused image in the soundstage.BTW, the sharpness has disappeared quite...

mecani,I have about the same amount of hours on my X1. I would say it will probably improve at a more gradual rate going forward, based on what I have read. When is the end of improvement? Who knows? I am very happy at this point.Enjoy!ozzy
