LUMIN - Audiophile Network Music Player

[Mikk]

Well done Peter and the Lumin team, V14 is running well- Tidal Connect is now all I use.

Hi Peter, 

and what about A1? Do you plan to add Tidal Connect functionality? 

[wklie]

Other models have a platform limitation that requires further investigation.

@wklie Peter... just out of curiosity... noticed my U1 Mini's hardware version changed along time: was 1010 when I bought it and found it to be 104010 now 😶

[wklie]

Please ignore the hardware version display.  It comprises of several elements for debugging purpose only.  There has never been any change in hardware.

I am super impressed by the Lumin rollout for Tidal Connect. Fantastic work Peter.

[wklie]

For those who heard a difference between Tidal Connect and Tidal via Lumin app, please kill / force stop the Tidal app after starting playback. See if the SQ improves, and let me know.

 

Killing the Tidal app will not affect your Tidal Connect play queue because it’s in the cloud.

Lumin is Tidal Connect certified.

 

Official Lumin firmware 14 is released to support Tidal Connect for models X1 T2 U1 U1MINI.

 

Those who were running the beta firmware should have received instructions from me about upgrading to official firmware. If not, please PM me.

Thank you. Any significant improvement in MQA decoder from new firmware?

[wklie]

The MQA decoder we used before was stable and robust for our needs, but the version was fairly old.  I felt it's time to get an update.  I don't know what is changed internally, but even if I did I could not tell anybody.

Or you'd have to kill us.

I have been using LUMIN U1 mini with usb output to myterk brookyln + dac and work perfect.
Things changed after I upgraded the firmware to V14.0 yesterday. The U1 cannot recognised the brookyln + via usb output anymore. I tried connecting it with coaxial and optical and both work fine. On my LUMIN app, the “usb output” setting disappeared － see attached pic. Is there something I can do to solve the problem? I have reconnected all the audio and power cables but still the same.

 

thanks in advance for any advice.

There has never been a USB output setting, because USB is automatically detected.

 

I'll look into this and make one or more beta firmware for you to try for the issue with Mytek.

 

Meanwhile, please show me a screen capture of the Lumin app About of U1 MINI, where there should be a firmware version and some USB VID PID info, etc.

Many thanks for the prompt reply, Peter. Here is the screen cap…

Please turn off Custom Re-sampling and turn off Volume Control setting, and see whether 44.1kHz, Hi-Res PCM files and DSD files play via USB or not.

 

If it does not play via USB, does the progress circle move, i.e. the app shows that it's playing but there is no sound from USB, or the progress circle does not move at all?

[jimmy12345]

Peter,

 

Custom re-sampling and volume control are off. Still no sound from usb output.

 

The progress circle on both the U1 mini and the app is moving when it’s via usb output (still no sound), and one thing abnormal is that when I turn off the dac, the progress circle is now still moving, while before the firmware upgraded, the circle immediately stopped when the dac is turned off.

 

Thanks Peter.

Sorry about the trouble!  I'll discuss with the team and make a beta firmware for you to try tomorrow.

[jimmy12345]

Thanks in advance for your help, Peter.

[wklie]

Meanwhile, please try this:

Please power down both the Lumin and the DAC.  Disconnect the USB cable.  Power up them both.  Switch the DAC to USB input.  After the Lumin is powered up with a circle shown on the front panel, reconnect the USB cable.

[jimmy12345]

Just tried as you recommended….. but not succeed.
