A beta firmware for Radio Paradise FLAC, and more than forty other free FLAC Radio stations, is now available. For those who wish to try it, please let me know and state your Lumin model.

 

Although it is not going to receive a major version number change, I feel this is an even more important functionality than the HiFi upgrade of a paid streaming service (that is supposed to launch before the end of the year), for the simple reason that they are free and therefore can be enjoyed by all Lumin users without paying for another subscription. Some free radio stations are donation-supported.

 

I'm listening to it while typing this.

Yes please, Peter, if it will work with my S1. Thank you, David

Hi, Peter I have the U1 mini.

[Sanjeev]

Hi Peter , I have Lumin X1

[wizardofoz]

Count me in as always Peter...happy to Beta test for D1 and D2 models if applicable ;-)

[LuminProac]

Hi Peter, T2 user here. Count me in as well.

 

 

[Ropet]

I'm Aldo interested @wklie. I have U1Mini.

[wklie]

Other than Radio Paradise FLAC, in the upcoming firmware, there will be three free Jazz / Blues FLAC radio stations, and five free classical FLAC radio stations.

 

Working with Jazz Groove and their streaming platform provider, we will also support Jazz Groove Premium (paid) FLAC channels (there are five). I'm listening to it right now.

 

[MaxH]

This is great :-)

Not pushing things too much but Radio Paradise stream the lyrics as the song plays on other platforms.

Any chance?

No Classical?

 

I would really appreciate consideration for the following 3 stations:

[rodrigaj]

Opps.... I just saw the reference to classical...🙄

Peter… is there a way to know what resolution is my U1 Mini getting via AirPlay from Apple Music on my iPad? (DAC is a Metrum and has no display)

 

thanks

[tlp123]

Peter,

 

When is firmware coming?

 

I can beta if not soon.

 

I have a X1.

[LuminProac]

Wow. Listening to classic rock station. So good. Please add better rock stations, if any. Streams are immediate without any buffering or lag and sound great. Pretty pleased already. Each of the beta I have tested, just works without any bugs which itself is remarkable

Lumin AirPlay1 always uses Apple Lossless 16/44.1.

 

If you use an AirPlay2 device (not Lumin), Apple Music AIrPlay gives you AAC 44.1kHz instead.

I know that's how it should be, Peter: thanks. just... asked because a lossless file from Apple Music, sent to the Lumin via AirPlay, sounds *extremely* poor compared to the very same track in my local library, sent to the U1 Mini by Roon, so I fear there's something wrong along the way 😐

[wklie]

In Apple Music app, please disable Sound Check, EQ, and Dolby Atmos.  Enable Do Not Disturb.  Set Volume to Max.

 

You may also try a direct USB connection from the iPad to your USB DAC.  If your iPad has a lighting port, use the authentic Apple Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter.

(everything else was already set as you suggested)

right what I'm trying to avoid: not using my beloved Lumin 😉

(in case, if I can't find a better solution... I'll rather go back to many years ago and use a Mac mini/USB DAC. if and when Music app will automagically manage resolution changes 🙄)

 

btw... for the moment I'm just trying to see if I can move from Qobuz (they just **stole** me 70€ with their two price rebates in 10 months) to Apple Music. and... struggling 😶

On iOS it does.  On Mac OS it does not.

[FIndingit]

Zooming into the playing album cover in the left corner by holding is nonfunctional now in iOS/iPhone?

[wklie]

That's a known issue to be fixed.

Lumin Firmware 14.2 supporting Jazz Groove (paid) Premium FLAC:

 

[rodrigaj]

@wklieJazz Groove website doesn't mention Lumin yet. If I get a premium subscription, how do I incorporate it into Lumin App. I don't see it listed in version 14.2. I see tunein and I see the free flac stations, but nothing obvious about Jazz Groove.

[wklie]

I'll send the instructions to Jazz Groove to publish on their web site very soon.
