I also had the Ref DAC with the Femto 77 and I made the upgrade to the Femto 33 a few years later. The improvements were significant. To my ears the most predominant change was a newfound smoothness - almost more of an analog character - that emerged in all of my favourite recordings. Secondly...

OCC Silver Signature DC Cable for MSB Reference DAC I was intrigued by the favourable review in Mono and Stereo, coupled with enthusiastic user reviews on other high-end audio forums of the Westminster Labs DC Hybrid cables - a specialized after-market product that connects both the MSB...

Has anyone had the opportunity to upgrade their existing T1/A1/S1/U1 to the new X1 power supply? I love my U1, but am very intrigued by the potential benefits of hooking it up to an X1 PSU. A few questions on my mind: How much does it cost? What are the specific sonic benefits one can...

MSB does a really good job with their Facebook page. They have some fascinating behind the scenes pics/videos of their manufacturing process, and also some interesting facts about their business - among them: 1) They keep their Marketing/Advertising costs below 1% of sales. End result is they...

A feature of my Lumin U1 that I really like is that I can keep a continuous running history or "playlist" of all of the tracks I listen to. This allows you to easily scroll through your history and pick previous tracks that you want to hear again. I realized yesterday that I could no longer play...

Question for anyone out there with a Lumin U1 who is streaming from Tidal Hifi: How do I configure the Lumin so that it continuously plays all of the tracks on an album (without stopping after each track)?

Has anyone heard these speakers? If yes, can you please provide your listening impressions... There have been 2 recent reviews in both Stereophile and The Absolute Sound. They seem to be getting a great deal of favorable comments and buzz. They seem to be standouts at the shows, with reviewers...

This may have already been answered, but can someone kindly post the steps you need to take to get Roon to work with the Lumin U1? What equipment/app do you need for Roon? I am currently streaming MQA files from my Lumin U1 with the first unfold of "96/24" to my non-MQA DAC using the Tidal Hifi...

I decided to try out a new combination: I moved the KEF LS50 that were previously sitting in my study bookshelf, and installed them on stands in my reference system paired with my Mcintosh MC2301 Tube monoblock amplifiers. The result? All I can say is WOW...this is a killer combination. The...

So I now have the beta version of the MQA Lumin U1 firmware upgrade. All I can say is "WOW". When I stream an MQA masters album from Tidal HiFi, this has sonically taken my system to a new higher level of musicality, dynamic breath, and transparency. The sound I'm hearing reminds me a lot of how...

Greetings All, I have recently purchased a Lumin U1 audiophile streamer. I am pairing it with a Mcintosh D1100 DAC. I must say that I am pleasantly surprised and even shocked by the high degree of performance and musicality of this combination. I am streaming Tidal Hifi through the U1. Does...
