Very descriptive comparison! Only your ears know. Whether an external DAC would be better depends on the DAC and your subjective interpretations. The T2 has a great DAC component. I’d recommend...

Condolences go out to you. I mourn for two dogs I lost one and four years ago every day. They’re as precious as children. RIP Trouble.

Which amp are you using direct to the X1? Are you going balanced out? Are you using the X1 as both DAC and streamer?

At least I got one thing right today!

I think he was making a joke that one wouldn’t shake a hot vacuum tube or light bulb for fear of burning one’s fingers. If my assumption is incorrect then I like you don’t get what he is saying...

Very interesting thread. With no intention to hijack this thread, I am including my questions as I contemplating something very similar to what the OP wants to do. My home theater consists of some...

The Leedh is pretty awesome straight from the Lumin to power amp; I bypass the preamp.

I had a D1 and sold it off. I tried a T2 and did not find it as a DAC to be a significant upgrade. I was fortunate to come across an X1 and that has been the ticket for me. Almost as weighty and...

I posted on the Naim forum regarding my components of that brand and the consensus was to leave on the power amp, preamp and external power supply 24/7. Naim doesn’t run warm though like a Pass Class...

They are gi-normous!

Gorgeous!

Awesome project! And a great way to enhance the parent-child bond!

I just hooked up the fiber connection to my X1. Much quieter. Enjoying it very much.

Thanks. The power supply is a bit warm but I guess that’s okay?

Congrats Mike. Great line!

Should X1 owners leave the power supply (and hence the power to the streamer) on all the time, even when not in use?

Didn’t see it on the box. No instructions came with the cable and couldn’t find it on their site.

Thanks Tino. I forgot to tell you the issue. The input termination is a Naim DIN which is why I need to know which color is left and right. Thanks!

Okay. I’m used to white and red RCAs for left and right channels, respectively. Here the colors are white and gray. Which one is right channel (usually red) and left (usually white)?

All is looking good, Charles! Listen in good health.

Hopefully Peter will step In to explain the various options including all Leedh and a combination of Leedh and preamp.

That’s option no. 1.

Here are the 3 scenarios described by Lumin:

LUMIN - Leedh Processing

Per Lumin’s instructions for scenario 2 (bypassing preamp volume control):

Bypassing your pre-amp volume control
