Re: Lumin X1 Review
In the current issue (#169) of Hi-Fi+ there is a great LUMIN X1 review.
It's on newstands now, or there is a digital edition available here:

To say I'm impressed by the LUMIN X1 is something of an understatement. I am blown away by its performance.[Associated with LUMIN]

Re: Lumin X1 Review
Mike, maybe you could say something more about the X1 compared to other Lumin streamers ? i am sure that the T2 will better my T1 , and i had the X1 on loan for a week and it was really amazing.

Re: Lumin X1 Review
That's very telling Mike! The S1 is a terrific player at its price point. The T2 must be a heck of a deal.
And, of course, I'm certainly enjoying the X1. Hard to beat at its price point, looks great, works flawlessly and super easy to setup/use._______________

Re: Lumin X1 Review
Hi , WKLIE and every one
I am new here, I have learned about Audioshark from an Audiogon member.
WKLIE has been recommended to me for Lumin questions.
I have just bought a LuminX1. I will receive it in a week.
Anybody has a suggestion for a headphone Amplifier that would be fine with the LuminX1
The luminX1 will be used with an Acurus ACT4 HT processor ,using balanced cables.
My headphones are Focal Clear.I use a balanced cable.
Should I choose one with a DAC (and using the digital input and XLR output )or choose one with only analog XLR input and output.
Suggestions would be appreciated because , I quite a bit lost .
I looking for the best solution for quality audio playback .
thanks

Re: Lumin X1 Review
My first day with Lumin X1
A supprise, a USB key can be used for music playback.
I though it was a output connection only .
I will try to use this input with my laptop and JRiver in the future.
I have to get use to the Lumin app....

Re: Lumin X1 Review
Peter, just got an X1 and it sounds fantastic! Running it straight into my amp and it is too loud. Any chance that a future firmware will allow lowering the output voltage to various levels to match amp?

Re: Lumin X1 Review
hi Peter
From people's feedback, do you think playing stored music (e.g. on L1) sounds better than streaming since it does not depend on the internet? Is it a clear improvement?
thanks, Jay

Re: Lumin X1 Review
Exactly right, Peter. My experience is 100% concordant with yours...
BTW, the P1 is here....
And...I will say it was pretty cool to be able to connect it with not one, but TWO less digital cables...no need for an Ethernet nor a USB cable.
Went straight into the optical port via fiber with my SFP optical transceiver.

Re: Lumin X1 Review
The Venom V14D is an excellent power cable for use with products that reside entirely in the digital domain, providing significant noise reduction functionality for digital-only products, e.g. music servers, clocks, Ethernet switches, network bridges, network streamers, etc. You can observe first-hand, with data, the impact they have on reducing AC power-line noise....
Shunyata Research Venom 14 Digital power cord demonstration - YouTube
V14D Demo Part 2 - YouTube
The Venom V14D cable is the only Shunyata Research cable *currently in-production* that was specifically designed for components that reside entirely in the "digital domain". The foundation of this cable was based on a cable that was designed for Shunyata's sister company, Clear Image Scientific, which designs cables specifically to optimize digital imaging for medical imaging applications.
The other noise-reduction-based cables, e.g. the Venom NR v12, Venom NR v10, Delta NRv2, Alpha NRv2, Sigma NRv2, Omega QR, and Omega QR-s are noise-reduction cables designed for components that also function in the "analog" domain, e.g., DACs, CD players, phono stages, preamps, amps, etc. As such, the noise reduction filtering in these cables is somewhat different than the application-specific noise-filtering in the Venom V14D digital power cable, specifically because these cables (also) operate in the "analog domain". The other cable that was designed for use with DACs is the amazing Omega QR-s cable. But again, DACs reside, at their business end, in the....analog domain.
The XC series of cables are primarily designed as power cables for power distributors, specifically power distributors that provide noise-reduction functonality. Examples of these are the Omega XC, Sigma XC, Alpha XC, Delta XC, etc.
I have experience with all of them, so if you have specific questions about a particular PC, feel free to post them here. Cheers.

Re: Lumin X1 Review
Hi Peter,
My Lumin X1 is not responding to commands from my iPad. Is there a problem with the Lumin server? I have unplugged/plugged, rebooted my iPad, and reinstalled the Lumin app. Now the Lumin interface is blank. Help!

Re: Lumin X1 Review
Please power cycle the whole network of devices starting from the router, include Lumin and iPad, and NAS, etc.
P.S. Your old posts indicated you may have an EtherREGEN. If it still does not work after power cycling it, please remove the EtherREGEN from the network temporarily and see if everything else works.Peter Lie

That worked. I think rebooting EtherRegen was the key.

Re: Lumin X1 Review
Speaking of X1 digital outputs, anyone has idea which output is better?
Just wondering Lumin X1 USB port is optimised for digital audio?
-
February 20, 2022, 10:43 AM #89
Re: Lumin X1 Review
X1 USB output is essentially the same as U1 USB output, except the former comes with a better power supply and offers fiber network (SFP port). Nowadays U1 can be purchased with the X1 power supply together, known as U1X.
A user told me he just bought P1 for USB output to his upscaler + DAC because P1 supports fiber network.Peter Lie

Re: Lumin X1 Review
I have generated a number of Qobuz playlists. However, I can't seem to get my X1 to continuously play the tracks on the playlist. After each track on the secondary play list, it goes back to my main play list. How do I get it to just play the tracks on the selected playlist?
-
February 26, 2022, 03:09 PM #92
Re: Lumin X1 Review
I may not understand your problem 100% right, but my initial answer is, just be sure to press and hold on the playlist, then select the icon that shows an arrow at the top, and a "strike-through" playlist below that. That will clear the current place list, replace it with your selected playlist, and start playing the tracks in order. I'll try to post an image in a little bit.

Re: Lumin X1 Review
@jmusica, when I wipe out that default play list, will that play list disappear for ever? I guess I should save the default playlist?
-
February 26, 2022, 05:01 PM #94
Re: Lumin X1 Review
If you want to preserve any playlist you built, while loading a new playlist into the now-playing queue, there are 2 things you can do.
1. Save the current playlist permanently, with a new name
2. Add new songs individually to the current play queue, or add a whole playlist to the current play queue. You do this by long-pressing the playlist but select the choice with the arrow on top, and not the strike-out playlist below (it is just horizontal lines representing the playlist). This will add to the current song queue instead of replacing it. You can then save the whole thing - with the original playlist, plus any songs added individually, plus any playlists you’ve added, as a whole new playlist with a new name (like “Mega Playlist” or whatever). Saving with the new name means that the original playlist you added to the queue is not overwritten.Main System

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.
