Lumin X1 Power Supply Question
Should X1 owners leave the power supply (and hence the power to the streamer) on all the time, even when not in use?

Re: Limit X1 Power Supply Question
In summer, when it's really hot, I turn it off.

Re: Limit X1 Power Supply Question
I think most users leave it on and use the Idle Sleep function.

Re: Limit X1 Power Supply Question
When it is time to stop listening I pause the song, and turn off the amps. For both my S1 and X1, I always leave them on.

Re: Limit X1 Power Supply Question
Thanks. The power supply is a bit warm but I guess that’s okay?

Re: Lumin X1 Power Supply Question
I did the same thing for my previous A1 for about 2 years without issues.
Current X1 for about 6 months and still okay

Re: Limit X1 Power Supply Question
When I’m done listening, I clear the music list and the unit goes to “sleep”. I leave the PS on all the time with both the S1 (previously) and X1.

There are two toroidal transformers inside any Lumin X1 / U1 / S1 / A1 / T1 LPS. They do get warm normally. Originally Posted by RDSChicago

Re: Limit X1 Power Supply Question
I being energy conscious ($$$) I turn off the X1 along with my other equipment when not in use. I mean it does have a power supply with a on/off button?

I upgraded the power supply on my Gigafoil v4 to a Weiss PSU 102. It’s very nice step up. But with the new model, you’re looking at $2000 before even investing in a SOTA linear power supply.
