Any Antileon EVO Stereo amp users using the Green Bias link with a Pandora preamp? If yes, please reply as I'm trying to modify the Low/Med/High bias attenuator settings on my Pandora preamp. It...

@RLF I just ran across your question about a power cable for your Rossini. I was amazed how much better the Shunyata Omega QR-s cable sounds vs. the Shunyata Alpha v2 NR cable. The gap may be closer...

The Gryphon Apex proves there's no end in sight for cost, size and weight of the amps that manufacturers will design and build. I'm not sure I understand the audience that would need an Apex. My...

@ozzy Great to hear about your Jensen Iso-Max approach with your X1. For my situation, my subs only allow RCA inputs. I noticed the Jensen ISO Max is available with different connector options and...

Ozzy,

I too have the Cerious Matrix XLR and speaker cables. Let us know how your interconnect cable journey goes.

Thanks,
Brian ...

I tried the high-level input of a REL S/510 and my impression was that it didn't integrate the sub as well as a wired connection (XLR or RCA). I'm starting to think the REL high-level input option...

Thanks Peter - very helpful.

Peter,

I have a 75' copper Ethernet cable run to my stereo component area. With all that copper Ethernet cable, would I improve the sound quality by using the optical port of the X1? Is there a...

Thanks Jim. I prefer to use the native dCS iPad app. I'm trying to reduce the amount of equipment needed in my 2-channel setup and Roon requires use of a computer for Roon Core. I'm not sure I want...

Does anyone know if dCS is working on support for the Qobuz service, specifically for the Rossini?

Peter,

Does the M1 fully render MQA tracks via TIDAL, including Studio Authentication identification?

Peter or M1 owners,

Does the Lumin M1 support connection of an external powered subwoofer?

Thanks,
Brian ...

Bovin,

I just purchased a Black Lion Audio Micro Clock Mk III. It's likely not as god as the Rossini clock but it's also under $1,000. I'll let you know if it improved the SQ.

Brian ...

Peter,

Ver 9.01 rocks! I've been listening to fully decoded MQA for the past hour via TIDAL. I assume the 'Studio' indication on the S1 is the final leg of the MQA decoding journey that proves...

Chris,

We're getting very excited. Is the MQA track in the picture from TIDAL as this is the only MQA source many of us have at this time?

Brian ...

Peter, you're a big reason us Lumin owners are so happy. I've never experienced anyone with as much dedication and passion to helping us understand this whole digital world that's new to many of us...

Thanks Peter. If I understand your reply, I can run ROCK on my i7 Mac Mini. Is that correct? I do need my Mac Mini from time to time to run MinimServer to scan new tracks that I add to my NAS,...

FWIW, this 6 Moons review suggests that the S1 is better than the A1 for PCM playback where the A1 specialized in DSD, http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews2/lumin/6.html. I know my S1 plays PCM and...

Bob,

I'm considering Roon as the Rossini native app doesn't do a good job with TIDAL MQA tracks. I have a Mac Mini that I ran a trial version of Roon on. I'm not a fan of needing to have my Mac...

I forgot to mention that the S1 can also serve as a preamp and connect direct to your amp but it lacks the number of digital inputs the Rossini has so I'm able to connect my CD transport and the...

I can't speak to the Linn Klimax DS3 but I have a Lumin S1 and recently purchased a dCS Rossini. IMO the SQ of the Rossini is a tad better with a bit more air around the instruments and a slightly...

I purchased a Meridian Explorer2 MQA DAC. I realize it's only $200 and is no comparison to an S1 but I can tell you that the S1 playing TIDAL MQA tracks at 48kHz, 24-bit sounds as good if not better...

Peter,

I hope I'm not off topic here, but I found an easier way to listen to TIDAL MQA tracks via my Lumin S1 where no TIDAL desktop app is involved.

Just use the Lumin iPad app and search...

Thanks Peter, I'll try the firmware revision tonight when I return home from work and will let you know. The UVerse ping issue is so bad that one of my TVs pixelates all the time. The TV is on the...

Thx Chris.
