@wklie et al,
I am trying to use the SPDIF outputs of the X1 to drive a modified Peachtree GAN1 amp. The GAN1 has only 1 SPDIF input and no other way to connect a source. I was hoping to control the volume using the LEEDH volume control on the output SPDIF stream. I also use ROON. So far I have not been able to solve this.
I switched over to a Sonore OpticalRendu + UltraDigital and use ROON volume to play music. This works but I am hoping the Lumin X1 SPDIF would also work in this setup.
Has anyone used the LEEDH with either the USB or SPDIF output stream?

You need a 1.5m BNC to RCA 75 ohm coaxial cable.
Connect the X1 BNC to the GaN 1.
In Lumin app, change output to SPDIF.
If not using Roon: After changing the output, turn on Custom Re-sampling. Change DSD64 / DSD128 to PCM 176.4kHz.
If using Roon: Turn off Custom resampling. In Roon DSP Engine, change DSD to 176.4kHz.
Turn volume down.
Play a 44.1kHz file or a default radio station such as Radio Paradise FLAC.

Thank you. That worked and it sounds so good.

A Lumin T2 user Husdon purchased an X1 and shared his story in Roon forum:
Comparing the T2 and X1 - what should I listen for? - #38 by Hudson - Lumin - Roon Labs Community

I have had the opportunity to try/buy a pre-owned Westminster Lab DC cable for the X1.
All I can say is Wow and Ouch!
The Wow is I know I may be listening more intently now, or have expectation bias, or have too much money for my own good ( I don't!) but, for those who doubt the people who report SQ improvement, I advise you to try one before judging.
To my ear, the soundstage has widened and there is even more clarity in the mid-range; once heard, I cannot unhear it - so, this cable is a definite keeper!
The Ouch is the expense and there are very few (if any) people I would admit to that I had spent this much on a used electricity cable and that's not even buying at retail price.
Actually, calculating how much time and money I spend on this hobby and how much enjoyment I derive from it, this may be one of the most cost-effective additions I have ever made to my system

Could I connect the ´´Melco N50-S38 Music Library ´´ to the Lumin X1 ?
Player port ( Melco ) to Lumin X1 RJ45 port. I already use SFP port of the Lumin X1 with my ethernet switch
It seems , there will be no replacement for the Lumin L1 ..

Have you seen the new Lumin L2?

If you don't connect the Melco LAN port to switch, I'm not sure whether the Melco works this way.
If you have to connect the Melco LAN port to switch, then you have to disconnect the X1 SFP from the same switch. Otherwise it forms a network loop and won't work.
No , I was not aware .
Many thanks
I was thinking about the Melco, but I much prefer , sticking with Lumin

Saw the L2 (a prototype, anyway) in Mark Gurvey's Source Systems room at AXPONA. I'd like to get one as soon as possible and...also write a review of it.

I have noticed that there seems to be a limit on the amount of songs in a playlist.
But is it because of Lumin or Qobuz?

Thanks, so is that 2000 total entries?
I have several playlists and the longest will only go up to 748.

I have subscibed to the JPlay trial today.
I don’t think I am going to keep it.
But I have found the ´´Radio mode ´´ very interesting .
I would like to find this on the Lumin app IOS ( IPad )
A playlist of similar songs like the one playing

wklie,
So, is that 2000 total entries of all the combined playlists or is it 2000 in just one playlist?
I have several different types of playlists.

wklie,
Thanks, but I don't think that is true. I have about 10 playlists. The longest playlist will only hold about 700 songs.
If I go over that amount (say to 1000) the songs will be added and play etc. but once I power off the Lumin and restart it songs over about the 700 amount will be deleted.

Did you save the new playlist with added tracks?
