Thread: Lumin T2

Hi, guys!

For several months now, I've been experiencing issues using Tidal Hi-Fi Plus on Lumin T2 (previously also with Lumin D2), which I can't seem to solve on my own from the user level.

Each time I play music on Tidal, at some point the wait time to play next track increases, going up from 5-45 seconds. The on-screen panel shows the current track still playing, while it should be long finished by then. The issue is quite irregular, sometimes it takes two or three tracks for it to appear. It seems like MAX files (HiRes, MQA) are most affected. It bothers me most when listening to an album with no breaks in between tracks. I experience similar delay issues when I manually select a different track or play a different album.

Previously, I had been using Lumin D2 with Tidal for three years without any problems. I started experiencing the issue a few weeks after upgrading the regular 230V/50Hz power outlets to Furutech FP-SWS, as well as increasing their number to three and slightly changing the location of Lumin within the same room. Initially, I had the same issues with Lumin D2. It helped a little when I replaced it with Lumin T2.
I tried connecting Lumin to different provider’s data (LTE) in the same room, but it didn’t help either.

My WiFi connection: DSL Internet (95 Mbps, Ping 25ms, Jitter 4). I replaced the modem and router, and shortened the LAN cable (cat.6). I reset the Lumin T2 to factory settings. I always have the TIDAL and Lumin apps on Android in the latest version. I have ruled out problems with the power supply (Furutech sockets) and the connection to the music system (Densen B-130XS, RCA, REVEL PERFORMA 3 F206); Lumin app control: Samsung Galaxy S20 Android version 13.0.0. or Lenovo TB-8504X Android version 8.1.0.

Any tips how to troubleshoot it will be much appreciated!

In Lumin app, please try different settings for Google DNS in About T2.

Changing the settings from "Use Google DSN - On" to "Use Google DSN - Off" and also returning to the "Use Google DSN - On" settings - did not help.

Supplementing the content of the previous post:
Changing the settings from "Use Google DSN - enabled" to "Use Google DSN - exclusive" did not help.
I went back to the settings: "Use Google DSN - Enabled".
I am asking for further help.

My router does not support vpn. My ISP doesn't offer this feature.
in addition to the previous information: My WiFi connection : DSL Interent (95 Mbps, Ping 25ms (2,4GHz); 300 Mbps, Ping 26 ms, Jitter 1ms (5 GHz).
Please provide further guidance and help.
