Lumin X1 Review

Yes, I'm sure it happened to a user before - but I don't recall if that was yours, or another user's unit.
 
My friend has an Oppo CD player and wants to test the X1 DAC by playing it through X1. How do I do this?
 
Speaking of X1 digital outputs, anyone has idea which output is better?
Just wondering Lumin X1 USB port is optimised for digital audio?

X1 USB output is essentially the same as U1 USB output, except the former comes with a better power supply and offers fiber network (SFP port). Nowadays U1 can be purchased with the X1 power supply together, known as U1X.

A user told me he just bought P1 for USB output to his upscaler + DAC because P1 supports fiber network.
 
I have generated a number of Qobuz playlists. However, I can't seem to get my X1 to continuously play the tracks on the playlist. After each track on the secondary play list, it goes back to my main play list. How do I get it to just play the tracks on the selected playlist?

I may not understand your problem 100% right, but my initial answer is, just be sure to press and hold on the playlist, then select the icon that shows an arrow at the top, and a "strike-through" playlist below that. That will clear the current place list, replace it with your selected playlist, and start playing the tracks in order. I'll try to post an image in a little bit.
 
@jmusica, when I wipe out that default play list, will that play list disappear for ever? I guess I should save the default playlist?

If you want to preserve any playlist you built, while loading a new playlist into the now-playing queue, there are 2 things you can do.

1. Save the current playlist permanently, with a new name
2. Add new songs individually to the current play queue, or add a whole playlist to the current play queue. You do this by long-pressing the playlist but select the choice with the arrow on top, and not the strike-out playlist below (it is just horizontal lines representing the playlist). This will add to the current song queue instead of replacing it. You can then save the whole thing - with the original playlist, plus any songs added individually, plus any playlists you’ve added, as a whole new playlist with a new name (like “Mega Playlist” or whatever). Saving with the new name means that the original playlist you added to the queue is not overwritten.

Yes, I could see someone doing that, for sure. If made a Lumin a U1 with an SFP cage for use with an optical transceiver, I'd be ALL OVER it (hint, hint ;)).

Hey Jon,
Can you use the Lumin L1 as a Roon Core for use with the X1/P1, etc?
