T2 X1 Call for beta testers
There is a sound quality related change that we're experimenting on for Lumin T2 and X1.
I need users to tell me whether it sounds the same, better, or worse.
If you use a Lumin T2 or X1 analog output and are interested in participating in this test, please let me know and state your Lumin model.
If you happen to be using a preamp that supports AV bypass feature, or using a direct-to-amp setup (i.e. using Lumin volume), please let me know.
Hopefully I can send out the beta firmware by next week (or earlier).Peter Lie

Re: T2 X1 Call for beta testers
Hi Peter, Although I love the sound of the X1 I would like to try it with other firmware. I have the X1 connected to the Integrated Amplifier (XLR), I am not using the Lumin volume. Thank you very much. Greetings.

Re: T2 X1 Call for beta testers
I have the Lumin X1 connected to the Pass XP-22 preamp. I would be willing to try the new firmware.

Re: T2 X1 Call for beta testers
Will it be possible to easily switch the change back and forth?

Re: T2 X1 Call for beta testers
Hi Peter - I'd like to try it too. I have a T2 currently connected via balanced to a normal input of my Luxman L509X, but I could switch this to the bypass input if need be.

Re: T2 X1 Call for beta testers
It's fairly easy to do manual firmware change using a USB thumb drive.

Re: T2 X1 Call for beta testers
I have gone back and forth between this and my Beta AirPlay firmware. I believe the mids n the newer version sound better but I think the new firmware is louder as well. I tired not touching the volume when swapping firmware and the new one is slightly louder.

Re: T2 X1 Call for beta testers
For usual types of playback, the volume scale is a little different.
When using AirPlay, the scale is changed significantly from the previous beta you were using.Peter Lie

Re: T2 X1 Call for beta testers
Sorry. Should have specified. My comments were based in the Lumin App not AirPlay.
