Lumin U2 - anyone tried the fiber input??
Thanks @jserp , I pulled the trigger on a new SFP switch and some cheap SFP transceivers/LC fibre cable - set up went smooth and I tell myself it sounds better 🤣

Interesting you have "hum" - we virtually have the same system and mine is dead quiet. I use a Niagara 5000, but to be honest I don’t think I’d have a problem if I removed it. Whether I’m using the 2 Channel system with the C12000 or the home thea...

You know in this game you hear what you want to hear, I believe it clearly sounds better - would more intelligent people without the love of gear?  Not sure, but its only my ears that matter!

I have all input devices also connected to my AVM90 for mutli speaker output and also for my wife and family to use.  The 2 Channel is only for me ;)

@uberk I have almost the exact same set up as you.  Amati G5's biamped with MC451 monoblocks.  My difference is only that I have an AVM90 vs a MX123. So now that I've actually added the C12000 I can comment on how it works/how its set up. The L/...

I use the MC462 for the Front L/R, which are Sonus Faber Olymica Nova III's.  The other 3 and the two subs are all powered.  3 x Paradigm Active Reference, and two powered sub's, a Paradigm Servo 15 and a JL audio (can't recall the model)

The C12000 is an Analog Tube/Solid State balanced Preamp, I would connect my Turntable (Technics 1200G), my CD Player (McIntosh MCD12000) to it and connect that directly to my Power Amp MC462 using XLR's.... My Home theater would all connect to th...
