    Re: Lumin X1

    @wklie et al,

    I am trying to use the SPDIF outputs of the X1 to drive a modified Peachtree GAN1 amp. The GAN1 has only 1 SPDIF input and no other way to connect a source. I was hoping to control...

    Anyone using the following "upgraded" DC power cord for the X1. It was created by the Westminister Labs designer who I think was involved in the design of the Lumin Amp.

  4. Re: The amazing Lumin P-1 is now the Heart of my system.

    The Musetec 005 is a very good DAC. The sound is as detailed as the Lumin X1 and it is mostly similar to the X1 except for the slight warmth and additional smoothness that it has. I have done side by...
  5. Re: The amazing Lumin P-1 is now the Heart of my system.

    I have spent the last 2 weeks comparing the X1 internal DAC with fibre along with SPDIF out and USB out. The SPDIF was to a Benchmark DAC3B and the USB was to a Musetec 005. The comparison was with...
  6. Re: The amazing Lumin P-1 is now the Heart of my system.

    Can the Lumin remote be used to program an action. I want to switch between analog out and SPDIF streaming out. I really hate using the Lumin app on my iPhone to do this. It takes a few repetitive...
  7. Re: The amazing Lumin P-1 is now the Heart of my system.

    Thanks, that is very useful so that a USB streamer out is not lost to the remote control.

    Can you tell me if the X1 and P1 are AES48 compliant? My Benchmark LA4 preamp is, and I run 15-foot...
  8. Re: The amazing Lumin P-1 is now the Heart of my system.

    Does the P1 come with a remote?

    I have an X1 and bought the remote. The X1 Leedh volume control is the best I have heard on a DAC but still not as good as my Benchmark LA4 preamp, so I am not...

    Re: Anyone own KEF Blades - either version? Thoughts?

    I have not heard the Hegel 590 but have heard the 360 and the H30.

    The H30 with the Blade 1 was very exciting and powerful. I still remember the Deep Purple that was cranking away on that system....

    Re: Anyone own KEF Blades - either version? Thoughts?

    I spoke with KEF UK on placement and they said the Blades need a minimum of 9 inches from the front wall. They can be pushed even further back in some rooms. The Reference line needs 1 foot.

    I...

    I will have to check this Boulder unit and the T+A HA 200 before I buy a second Benchmark HPA4.

    I have to agree with your sentiments on running ROON on a server without a GUI. I have a few servers in my garage for my home office. They are connected by house copper via a Powerline. I was...

    1. Saw some comments on this thread about ROON being a very noisy user of computer resources. On my Windows 10 machine this sometimes is correct with regard to CPU/GPU. It happens when the ROON...

    Was the Benchmark combo you heard the LA4 (or HPA4) and the AHB2 amp? If so, that is interesting to hear. I was thinking of buying the Luxman m900u to pair with my Benchmark HPA4 but I also would...

    I am looking to get a R2R DAC to pair with the HPA4. I have the Benchmark DAC3B at the moment and I will add a R2R DAC as a second option to my HPA4 setup. Variety.

    At the moment I am considering...
  18. Re: Magico A1 - recommendation for integrated USB amp?

    The ML 585 is amazing on the A3. My understanding is that the 585 is even better than the 5000 series except a little less of a DAC. Only issue for me is the size of the unit.

    Re: Benchmark LA4

    Nice to read these comments on the LA4. I bought the HPA4 headphone amp/preamp on the assumption that it would pair great with something like the Luxman m900u or CODA #16 (very quiet at 130 SNR). I...
