    Question for Mac users .......

    Sad but very true. I have a perfectly good 2017 iMac - 27" display, 40 Gb RAM, 2 Tb hard drive, incredible graphics card, all of it working perfectly to this day. I have already been disappointed that I can't get several apps, and now no Sequoia for me. Here's the problem: Having this...

    Lumin app new Now Playing page

    Another wonderful addition to the LUMIN App! I especially like the volume and mute controls in the lower right corner of the iPad screen. Very easy to use them in this position. Another big plus: The larger - and + controls and volume circle allow me to dial in the perfect volume level...

    DSD versus PCM - Is DSD really better or is it a 'myth'

    Also 66, also grew up with vinyl and FM, and may I add cassettes. It was a beautiful thing when the radio station would broadcast a local concert that I could record and play it back in my car. I also loved going to the record store early on Fridays with high hopes of getting a copy of that...

    RIP Brian Wilson

    His contributions to the American music song book and culture are hard enough to even quantify, let alone properly appreciate. We lost a giant here. Prayers to his family, friends, bandmates and everyone who he worked with. He will be missed terribly.

    Spotify vs Qobuz

    My only direct comparisons between Spotify and Qobuz have been in group settings, both in and outdoors, with me streaming Qobuz and my brother and others streaming Spotify to a bluetooth speaker. Even in these less-than-ideal settings, Qobuz is easily identifiable as sounding superior to...

    Qobuz Connect is Officially Released

    treitz3 and PierreB, all of my settings appear to be where they should be. I played with it once more, and when I was done playing I found that the LUMIN App had not turned on. (I discovered this because I had to launch it to power the T2 off from my couch.) I must have inadvertently turned the...

    Qobuz Connect is Officially Released

    I gave it another run last night, and it seems to be working now. I must have done something out of order. One thing I'm still not clear on: The LUMIN App appears on the iPad (or phone) at the same time the LUMIN T2 turns on whenever I play Qobuz Connect directly to the LUMIN T2. Is this...

    Qobuz Connect is Officially Released

    Jack, This was just me trying to see what it could do - by trying a track. Once I confirmed that the iPad, Qobuz Connect and LUMIIN were cooperating, I tried another song after the first one played (Also from Qobuz with the LUMIN selected as the device for playback, same way I played the first...

    What type of speaker still sounds good at low listening levels?

    Steve, I've had similar experiences. A lot of people, maybe most people on an audio forum, will say that you should build the system around the speakers. But this approach implies that the speakers are the most important part of the chain. I would argue that the amplification is the base of the...

    Qobuz Connect is Officially Released

    That's what I thought, but when I run it to the LUMIN T2, as soon as I start playing a tune in the Qobuz App, the LUMIN App opens up on the iPad and shows what is playing. Then when I try playing another tune the same way I played the first one - in the Qobuz App to the LUMIN, the new song...

    Qobuz Connect is Officially Released

    There has to be something that I'm doing wrong when playing tunes on the LUMIN T2 (using Qobuz Connect within the Qobuz App, controlling with the iPad). The T2 and LUMIN App both fire up and everything is going great for the first track, but as soon as I pick something to play next it starts...

    Lumin supports Qobuz Connect

    Thanks, Peter. I have been using the Autoplay feature for a while now (Qobuz App on the computer, car stereo and Bluetooth speaker). I agree, it works quite well.
