LUMIN - Audiophile Network Music Player

[jcn3]

Hi, I currently have my S1's balanced output feeding my main system's L-R front speakers. I have a new headphone amp, an Audeze combination DAC/Headphone amp, that I would like to connect to the S1 via the unbalanced outputs.

 

Because I don't want to disconnect the XLRs every time I use the headphones, I am wondering if there are any issue with keeping the balanced outputs connected to my main preamp (which will remain powered down) when using the unbalanced outputs to drive the headphone preamp. My gut reaction is that it would be ok because the two output are well-isolated within the S1 but I'd like to hear it from Lumin engineering or someone who has done the same thing.

 

Thank you!

 

i do the same thing with my schiit gungnir multibit -- it's not an issue at all. i would expect the same from the lumin.

I think so.  On Android you may also also use other apps such as Linn Kazoo and Bubble DS Next.

 

Meanwhile, check out the US$329 new iPad.

thanks for the reply.  i asked because your app is quite good -- better than the others except for not being able to get to tidal.

Thank you.

 

Click on the speaker in the bottom right corner, then click on the cogs.

jcn3 thank you

i've to activate Volume levelling... but this option can degrade QOS?

 

 

the volume leveling would have to be done in the digital domain, so technically the output wouldn't be bit perfect.  now whether you can tell a difference is another matter -- give it try and see what you think.  i'd trust your ears.

Hi,

 

when (occasionally) streaming sound to Lumin U1 mini via Airplay, and having upsampling to DSD128 enabled on U1 mini (which is my usual setup), there is strong "clicking” noise added over played sound. When upsampling on U1 is turned off, this "clicking” sound disappears. When streaming directly from U1 (with or without upsampling), no "clicking", so it seems related to Airplay only.

Have someone experienced something similar or does it seem I have something wrong in my setup?

 

BTW, would be there any chance of adding Airplay 2 support to U1 mini sometimes in the future?

 

Thanks,

  (mc)

 

doesn't airplay max out at 16/44?

@wklie Any idea these tracks are partially out of order? Also the first three have parentheses in the title. 
 

 

i notice that the genre's are different ("pop"  vs. "pop/rock") -- looks like it's sorting by genre then track number . . .

Hello

 

Can i run a Lumin app on the Microsoft Surface Go?

Will support be offered for the Neo and Duo?

 

 

i don't think so -- just tablets and phones.

This looks like a minimserver issue to my eyes. My advice to you is to contact https://forum.minimserver.com/

 

I'm sure you will get a fast reply and accurate solutions. Their service is top notch. 

@Berlin -- you also need to install minimwatch. Minimwatch is the tool to do detailed configuration of minimserver.

Hi there,

My Lumin T1 failed to recognize any type of HDD you mentioned above, except USB thumb drive.
But Linn app on my iphone or Macbook can read and play contents of HDD attached to Lumin without any difficulty.

I guess the problem is from Lumin app.

Please advise. Thank you for your patience.

 

It was mentioned earlier that attached devices can only get 500ma from the Lumin, only enough to support a USB drive.
