Lumin X1

Thanks. And thanks for the tip on multiple analog connections. :hey:

Yes, you can connect both the XLR and the USB cables in at the same time. An issue may arise, however, when you keep both the XLR and single ended analog outputs connected at the same time as the output transformers may be presented with loading that the circuitry may not have been designed to handle.

Really dumb question….the X1 and other Lumin DAC/Streamers have both digital and analog output. When you burn in the device, are you burning in both sections? Or do you have to do one at a time…total of like 1000 hours?? Yikes! The X1 can only output one signal at a time, i think?

There are no dumb questions, IMHO, but there may be wise guys out there that try and make a person feel that their question is dumb.

As for me, I started enjoying my X1 right out of the box and was not really interested in trying to do an initial SQ assessment at first turn on versus what it sounded like like at first turn on plus "X" number of hours later. My hearing memory is just not that good. I can do a pretty good job of identifying what I like with changes such as cable swaps, balanced vs unbalanced connections, etc. that can be accomplished in a relatively short period of time, within minutes at most, but remembering how something sounded 500 "operational" hours before is beyond me. I find my emotional state and/or BAC affects how it sounds as well. Incidentally, my X1 has been running nonstop, 24/7/365 for probably a bit over two years now running a nice mix of music served up from a NAS connected optically to the X1 and I am as happy with it then as I am now.
 
I logged in to my x1 this afternoon on my LUMIN app and none of my albums had the Mqa or highrez indicator on my albums.how do I get them back..???
 
A couple of ideas:

- Shut down and restart both the Lumin and the device (iPad…). Do Lumin first and once it’s up, do the portable device.
- If you use a Lumin L1, once the X1 is up. Go to the settings are and reload the library - should only take a few minutes.

Hope that helps!
 
@bluesky “ Incidentally, my X1 has been running nonstop, 24/7/365 for probably a bit over two years now running a nice mix of music served up from a NAS connected optically to the X1 and I am as happy with it then as I am now”

Can you share the specifics of your NAS and how it connects optically to the X1?

Thanks
 
Using fiber now. While i will save the superlatives of my initilal impressions….also it would be much time between switching fiber and Ethernet that i think i can easily trick my brain into thinking one is better than the other... I will just say even though I’m not anywhere near the inter webs suggestions of burn in time…this X1 is pretty sweet.

I’m actually floored to make use of my SFP ports in my switch. If I can integrate things on the tech side to mix with my audio toys, then you can call me a happy clam!! :yahoo1:
 
All Lumin players / transports (except M1 and excluding AMP) that have a replaceable fuse use: 2A 5mm x 20mm.
 
Jack is correct
