I recently purchased a used Lumin D1 with initial hopes of using if for streaming Tidal and later building in a networked drive for my FLAC files (which I used to access from a computer). My problem is that the iPad app is not finding or recognizing my Lumin (the app is basically blank and under settings - choose your Lumin - there are no options). I've connected the D1 to the router and it's getting a signal. If unplugged it says network error. When plugged in it lists a song and artist which I'm guessing might be a remnant from the previous owner. The iPad is connected to the same network via a mesh wifi system (not sure if that makes a difference). I suspect that this question may already have come up in the 100+ pages of this thread but my searches haven't been very effective to date. Many thanks for any help or suggestions. Is there a HW reset button ? DrNikonian 1 Link to comment

Insert a pin into the reset hold in the rear, and hold it while you power on the D1. Keep holding for 20 more seconds until you see some small text on the front panel. But I'm quite sure the cause of @onethousandanswers 's issue is the network. This is especially true with mesh. Peter Lie LUMIN Firmware Lead Link to comment

hoppy100 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 @wklie I just started using the IOS app. I was using the Andriod app prior. With the IOS app, I do not see the Leedh processing logo on boot up. This logo has always showed up during boot up with the Andriod app. Can you tell me if this is normal with the IOS app. I contacted Lumin directly and they did not address this issue properly. They stated that the Leedh logo show up at boot up, which I already knew, but did not address why it is not showing up with the IOS app, but does with the Andriod app. Cheers Link to comment
hoppy100 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 @wklie, I am using the U1 mini and that is the unit not showing the Leedh processing logo on boot up with the IOS app. Sorry, I forgot to mention that in the prior post. Link to comment
wklie Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 The Leedh boot up logo is turned off if you have turned off the Leedh Processing Volume setting in Lumin app (Android or iOS). Peter Lie LUMIN Firmware Lead Link to comment
stefano_mbp Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 @wklie Hello Peter, I’m using Lumin app with great satisfaction and Minimserver as upnp server. I’ve just realized that there is a little incongruity between Artists and Album Artist in the app. When I open a track details I can see listed all the Artists (*) for the track but if I tap on one of them I receive a Not Found warning. If I tap on the Artist icon (**)(the one as an half body) in the row of icons just above the albums window I find all the albums ordered by Album Artist, and doing a search I can find Album Artists only. I could find a trick to solve this issue: I removed the AlbumArtist tag from the indexTag property in MinimServer and violà ... tapping on any Artist in the track details (*) I can now find the list of albums for that Artist. This leads me to think that the app behavior could be: if the AlbumArtist tag exists then it is stored under the Artis icon (**) if the AlbumArtist tag doesn’t exist then the Artist tag is used Am I right? ... this is the incongruity I was referring to. But the trick I used seems to lead to a little bug: tapping on an Artist in the track details (*) bring to an incomplete list of albums, indeed if I use the Minimserver Artist “folder” I can retrieve more albums than listed in the other mode, but not always (!!!) I hope I was understandable, the explanation is a bit complicated thank you edit .... forgot to specify that I’m using the last version of Lumin app on iPad 5gen. iPadOS 14 (was the same on iPadOS 13.xx) Stefano My audio system Link to comment
wklie Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 According to our product manager, this is by design. AlbumArtist and Artist are different tags. If you're in album view and search by using track Artist (as a search string), it tries to find the AlbumArtist but if you have no matching AlbumArtist it will result in Not Found. As a workaround, you may try setting Lumin app option Group Album by Song Artist instead of the default Group Album by Album Artist. Peter Lie LUMIN Firmware Lead Link to comment

DrNikonian Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I'd like to change an hifi-fuse to my T1 Lumin. Anyone can tell me its specs and brands of fuse can produce best SQ? Thank you very.much. Link to comment

chungjh Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 brw, Do you not find that preamp degrades SQ compared to X1 LEEDH direct into amp? I am debating whether I should sell my preamp. Other than the convenience of a remote, the preamp doesn't seem to be making much SQ difference. I would be curious how many Lumin X1 users use direct to amp. Anyone? Link to comment
BlueSkyy Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I go direct. I wouldn't have it any other way but I would not get rid of my preamp due to the need to listen to other devices from time to time.

EvilTed Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 @Chungjh It depends upon the rest of your system and how it interacts with your room and the sound balance you prefer. My system uses ESL speakers and a DSP instead of crossovers (active or passive) and with this comes the ability to perform live room analysis with a microphone to tune the response to the room. My system has been built having the preamp in place. Taking it out of circuit and using LeedH on my X1 resulted in a pretty boring sound. It sucked the life out of it. I use an EAR 868 PL tube preamp which has served me very well for years. I am upgrading to an EAR 912 for the superior phono stage. Both preamps have transformers in the output stage, the same as the X1/S1. I source incredibly rare NOS pinched-waist tubes and use these in both the phono and line stages. With a preamp like this the sound is alive and real. With LeedH it is not very involving and just kinda flat and digital. ESL speakers + tube amps are a preferred combination amongst analog lovers, especially for the liquid midrange. If you have experienced this, then you know what I'm talking about. dark 1 Link to comment
chungjh Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 @Evil Ted I also use ESL but Pass Labs X250.5. I am in the process of burning in my X1. (100 hours). I use Don Sachs 2 tube preamp. What amp are you using? Link to comment

The answer is there, if you search for it. I subscribe to Quobuz. I also have a Naim Core which I ripped my CD collection to, and this is found automatically on my network by Roon, which then feeds my Lumin player. I don't even have to choose which source to use, or switch between them. Roon seamlessly integrates all of my music, on my Core, or through Qobuz, or any digital downloads that I have saved, into one digital collection. I don't need to use the Naim, Qobuz or Lumin apps. I just set them all to my required settings, then I sit back and use Roon to control my listening. So the combination of Roon and a Lumin player actually gives you more inputs, as well as the benefits of using Roon itself. Link to comment

BlueSkyy Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I just updated to iOS 14.0.1 and when I launched the Lumin app the first thing it did was ask, and I paraphrase, "if it could look at my network to find devices". Is this typical and something I just failed to see in the past or is this something the iOS is doing?
