sfseay Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 You can have two L1s, but you can only point the app to use one of them one at a time. I just swapped out the hard drive in my L1 for a 4TB one. Works great! kelly200269 1 MAIN SYSTEM - SST Ambrosia 2000 Second Edition Preamp and Son of Ampzilla II Amp, dCS Debussy DAC, Bricasti M5 Streamer, PS Audio P3 Power Plant, Aurender ACS10 Server/Streamer, Focal Sopra No. 1 Speakers, JL Audio F112 Subwoofer, Elac SUB3070 Subwoofer, 20TB Synology NAS, Small Green Computer i5/1TB SSD running Roon HOME OFFICE SYSTEM - NAD M10 Integrated Amp/Streamer/DAC, Auralic Altair Streamer/DAC, Oppo BDP-103 SACD, KEF LS50 Speakers Link to comment
sfseay Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 The S1 has an internal power supply and wouldn’t be able to use an external one.

sfseay Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 You need to ensure the integrated amp is fully balanced design. Some are and some aren't.

I think the reason for that is Roon’s RAAT. In essence, Roon default’s to the Lumin’s master clock, so Roon doesn’t ‘add or take anything away’ from the streamed files (unless you engage Roon’s DSP, of course). When you use Roon, the Roon Core (operating in either a PC/Mac/Nucleus, or in a NAS) directs the digital stream to a Roon endpoint, of which your U1 is one. There is NO degradation in SQ when using Roon, IMO. I think it comes down to how resolving your system is meaning user with higher resolving systems claim to hear a difference.

sfseay Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I’m not claiming there is a difference in sound, I’m just relying on other people’s feedback in numerous forums that they hear a difference. I don’t know if they were engaging DSP or not.

Wow! Spoken like someone that has damaged hearing. What streamer do you own that you like better, or are you just trolling?
