LUMIN - Audiophile Network Music Player


Recommended Posts

DoP file creation is not in the official version.

 

Get the DoP file creation version (modded from version 0.61) here:

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B4jZ4NDGECzEbnNQOXVQRHJpQlU

 

Source code included.

 

This modded version should have all the functions in the original version, but I haven't try all options! To be save, you can install another copy of foobar2000 in a separate folder with this DoP plugin. And only use that for DoP file creation.

 

[ATTACH=CONFIG]3409[/ATTACH]

In SACD plugin config, make sure "DSD over PCM" (default) is selected. Then do a "convert" to lossless PCM file (WAV/AIFF/FLAC/ALAC etc). It will always create a 176.4/24 PCM file with DSD embedded in DoP style.

 

Play this DoP file through a UPnP server to LUMIN, and LUMIN will extract the original DSD for native DSD playback.

 

In theory, I think this DoP file should also work on those USB/FW/SPDIF DAC with DoP support. And the user can play this DoP file using a softplayer without native DoP via USB support...

 

Hi psme,

 

I'm new in using Lumin Music Player, as I had a lot of SACD-ISO files, and I follow the steps you quoted to install the DoP plug-in in foobar2000 but fail. Even I can't install the modded 0.61 SACD plug-in.

How can I do that?

Thanks!

There is nothing special about installing the modded DoP plugin. Simply install it like any normal foobar2000 plugin. And make sure you don't have the original SACD plugin already installed. If you still have problem, try to install the original SACD plugin to make sure your foobar2000 setup is ok, then uninstall the original SACD plugin, and install the modded plugin instead.

 

Yes, I had installed the original SACD plugin, is OK. But after I removed the plugin and tried to install the modded one, it fail.

Dear all,

 

I've built a Audioplile Linear power supply and handmade a DC cable with 6N OCC copper wire for lumin, the result is great!

This is the version one I made, super low noise, plug & play with better performance than the stock one!

The performance result is better than ever, high becomes more open, a more sweet midrange, and the bass becomes more solid. The background is much much more darker and more clean than before!

This power supply squeeze out the performance of the Lumin!

I will build another one later call version II by using a better ultra low noise regulators and a smaller size case for a better performance and outlook.

The size of the aluminium case used in this project is around W190mm H70mm D310mm

Excellent! That´s one of the thing I look for to make the Lumin really shine. Maybe two Rcore transformers, mkp and pio decoupling capacitors... Looking inside some of the most musical gears tells what are the best ideas for the best power supplies, I love the Lumin and the outside power supply is an opportunity for diyers, and for Lumin itself...maybe... :-)

 

Hi Nicoben45,

 

Thanks for your reply, yet, the R-core is not good as my custom bulit O-Type transformer, I test it before, O-Type is the best one, much more musical and details, trust me!

 

Regards,

@LA1209

Do you plan to have them built on a larger scale than DIY and sell them?

 

Best and kind regards

 

Hi ThierryNK,

 

I've sourced 10 sets of parts, and planning to build an upgrade version II belong with handmade 1M long 6N OCC copper DC cable and a custom made smaller size full aluminium chassis, anyone have interest can PM me for details. Thanks for interested.

 

Regards,

Kenneth Lau

I agree that "Kenneth's PSU" is quite a fair investment to improve the Lumin. On my system, there is a better definition for up frequencies and better "quietness" all over the spectrum.

And Kenneth is a nice guy answering questions and solving the small issue about stronger fuses that were needed in France. Good job! :)

 

Thanks Thierry!

The latest and the final PSU for Lumin is launched!

Shielded O-type transformers with Epoxy filled, W320 H70 D300 handsome chassis, a ground post added too!

From now, you can choose 7N OFC copper O-type transformer or the best of the best OCC silver-plated copper transformer!

See the attached pictures for reference

This power supply brings substantially improved musicality , it became more authoritative, the bass is better controlled, complex music becomes both easier to understand and listen to, the whole picture was more precise, with better focus and more control. In my opinion, this PSU makes easy for a Lumin owner to get a significant upgrade step for a relatively reasonable amount of money. Thank you Kenneth, job well done !

 

Dear Philippe,

 

Thanks for your comment. Enjoy!

 

Best regards,

Kenneth Lau
