Lumin U1

Thanks for quick update, @wklie! I totally agree with you, Devialet should be ok with DSD regardless of with connection. But; when reading the specs of 250 Pro Expert on Devialet's own site, the following comes up:
[h=3]SUPPORTED FORMATS[/h]Up to 32bits / 192kHz PCM (USB)
Up to 24bits / 192kHz PCM (AIR®, UPnP, AES/EBU, Coaxial)
Up to 24bits / 96kHz PCM (Optical)
Up to 1bit / 3.072000MHz DSD64 (USB, Coaxial)

That was the main reason for my questions :)
 
These are almost contradictory, but I'd believe the text. Please test AES and let me know.
 
Today, I got confirmation from Devialet support. You're absolutely right, of course, @wklie:) "Our AES/EBU input indeed supports DoP streams".

I just have to buy an AES cable and test:) Let you know how it goes.

@wklie,
My Lumin U1 is now connected to my Devialet with a Weiss AES/EBU cable, playing DSD. The Devialet shows DSD64 in its display. Soundquality seems to be great.
 
Great! Please burn in the Lumin with repeat playback of playlist 7x24. Then you can compare AES against USB. When using AES or other SPDIF outputs, USB must be disconnected first.
 
I have now teste back and forward, changing between Weiss AES/Heimdall2 USB/Synergistic Research Galileo USB, always disconnecting the USB when listening with AES. The AES always sounds better than USB in my setup, with more transparency, dynamic and more defined bass.

Thanks for all your help regarding this matter, @wklie!
 
I think to improve the performance of Lumin U1 and replace the power supply. My choice of Paul Hynes SR5 or Clones Audio Power Station Deluxe. Does anyone have any comparison experience or any thoughts?
 
Please consider the official X1 power supply upgrade for U1.

If you wish to have someone custom make a LPS for you, please note the special DC connector.

W[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Tahoma,Calibri,Geneva,sans-serif]hat is the list price for the X1 power supply upgrade ?[/FONT]
 
Hi Peter, new to this forum and considering the U1 as my transport streamer. Reading the threads with the X1 PSU upgrade as a significant improvement, can’t Lumin offer the optional PSU upgrade at purchase so that the purchaser won’t have an extra PSU on hand and perhaps a price reduction for the trade in?

Thanks
Andre

Hi,
I have a question, I have a U1 connected to EMM Lab dac versus usb cable, and xlr cable connected from emm dac to new active speaker since there is no volume control on the EMM dac.
Can I use the U1 for volume control? if yes what setting should I use?
Thanks

Yes.

Enable Volume Control and Leedh Processing Volume in Lumin app for U1.

Turn down the volume before playback.
