Lumin D2

Lumin app does not have EQ, but it has a plethora of upsampling options and with a Lumin, you can also use Roon which does have EQ options. Lumin has QoBuz and Tidal.

Hi Peter

Few days ago I saw a notice for new firmware (vers. 11.6) for my D2. After the update my Lumin always stops playing music after several songs then continues the song again after few minutes. This has never happened before with the older firmware. Could you see the possibility if the new firmware somehow create this issue. Btw, there is no change to the network where Lumin is connected to. Appreciate your suggestion.

thanks

Harry
 
In a pretty high end system what sound quality difference would I hear going from a Bluesound Node2 to the Lumin D2?

Please power cycle the D2. Save your current playlist, clear the current playlist, then add a few albums from MinimServer and try playing them again.

I'll also test it in my setup at work. However, it's been almost 2 weeks since the release of the firmware, and we have not received any other firmware 11.6 issue report.

Hello Audio4me, I heard the Blusound 2i (from my son-in-law) and I had the Lumin D2, for my ears there is a lot of difference between these 2 streamers. Lumin D2 is a wonderful team, it has a very natural and great sound, the musicality of Lumin D2 is exceptional. If you can give yourself the pleasure to buy the D2 do not hesitate. Regards.

Hi Peter

Thanks for your quick response. I did cycle the power to my Lumin and it still stops playing music after few songs and then continues playing again. Next I will try to clear current playlist.

I had it happen also multiple times using the NT-505 with the Lumin app. Switched to the HR Streamer app and the problem went away. Seems to have started after the IOS 13.1.1 bug fix earlier in the week. Just noticed there is now another bug fix 13.1.2 so no telling what it will do.

When it "stops playing", is the track completely played or is it in the middle?

When it "continues playing again", does it repeat the last played track, from the point where it stopped (if wasn't completely played), or does it play from the next track in the playlist?

From the Lumin to your network switch/router, is it all wired without going through any WiFi conversion?

Is your iOS device running iOS 13.x?

Due to what Jack said, could you try: start playback in repeat mode, then power down your iOS device. See if the Lumin still stops playback unexpectedly.

Both Lumin and NT-505 (current firmware: Dec 2018), because of OpenHome standard, are supposed to keep playing the playlist even if the iPad is powered down. While we are taking care of cosmetic issues in Lumin app bring by iOS 13, music playback problem is currently unexpected at this point.

When the music stops the timer and the circle keep moving. Sometimes it will come back in the same song and sometimes at the start of the next one.

My Lumin stops playing in the middle of the song (incomplete) then after a while it continues playing from where it stops. Exactly the same effect if you would press pause button.

There is no wifi conversion between my Lumin to router and NAS. And I use android device not iOS.

I tested Firmware 11.6 with iOS 13.1.2 and did not experience this issue.

Harry,

Please power down the Lumin, Android device and NAS. Power cycle the wifi router and all network switches. Wait for 5 minutes then power them up.

Then use Lumin app to factory reset the D2, in settings, options under D2, About.

If it still has problem please try playing an album from usb drive plugged into D2 instead of NAS, and use a different network cable connected to a different network port.

Ok, I will cycle power etc, once i get a chance, but I wonder why. It has been fine for a year until the last update. And I use wireworld cat8 cable between my Lumin and router. Is there any possibility for you to test with Android device instead of iOS?

Thanks again

Harry
 
Yes, I can test that next week after our holiday. By design the control point cannot cause the player to stop playback though. You can shutdown your Android device and the Lumin D2 will still play.

Thanks for your continuous support Peter.

Peter, what do you think sounds better, the T1 or the D2? Primarily for streaming Tidal and Qubuz.
