On Windows please try Linn Kazoo, JRiver, Audirvana, MEmu emulator (at your own risk) for Lumin Android apk, etc.

 

In the future it may be possible to use Windows 11 Android to run it, but this has not been verified.

 

In addition to Tidal Windows app (if you only listen to Tidal), I forgot to mention there's also Roon.

 

I think there's a $1 for 3 month Roon trial now for new accounts.

Hello,

I use an U1 mini, connected by AES/EBU digital cable to a Matrix X-Sabre pro mqa DAC. What is the correct/best setting for me, if any, synchronous or asynchronous?

Peter,

 

I see no resampling option in the Lumin app to downsample DSD 256 and 512 in my U1?

None of the current Lumin models can do that.  You could, however, use Roon DSP Engine (but disable Native DSD Processing).

Please try both and let us know which sounds better to you.

I’m having a problem with Qobuz in the Lumin app.

it had been working fine till now.

 

it don’t show none of my favorites or playlist any more. Just some folders with a zero.

I logged out of Qobuz and back in on the Lumin app and but same result???

Log out of Qobuz and back in inside the Lumin app and they should return.

Login to the Qobuz application and make sure it’s all there and your account is good.

Opened Qobuz app on my iPad. Everything is there.

It happens also to me when I drill down "too many" levels. Open the grey folder "Qobuz" on your image. Then scroll down to "Qobuz" and click on it and it should be OK again. Att least, this works at my place.

[wklie]

Please swipe away the Lumin app and relaunch it.

 

If that does not fix the problem, please reboot your iPad.

[al210]

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. 
 

I did nothing and today it magically came back on its own.

I just bought some DSD256 music from Native DSD but my U1 won’t play any of the tracks from several different albums.

 

I hit play no sound and a second later it then jumps to the next track. It continues to do this till it goes through every track then stops?

[al210]

Ok. I got the 256DSD files to play. There is an issue with the Leedh. I turned that off and files play. They won’t play if Leedh volume control is on. 

[wklie]

This is normal.  If you want to play DSD256 you must turn off Volume Control for digital output.  Otherwise DSD will be converted to PCM by Lumin.  (Even if Lumin is not doing that, Chord is.)

 

If you have a Lumin Analog Output product (T2, P1, X1) you'd be able to play DSD256 with volume control without being converted to PCM.

[wklie]

I've just realized my previous post is incomplete.

 

To explain further: The reason volume control has to be turned off for Lumin DSD256 digital output is that, since volume control for DSD implies a DSD to PCM conversion, but none of the current Lumin models can convert DSD256 or DSD512 to PCM (as stated in another recent post), so DSD256 will not be played to digital output if volume control is turned on.

 

Lumin volume-controlled analog output of DSD does not involve a PCM conversion, therefore it is different.

@wklie (Peter) - Would a T1 ever support Tidal Connect?

Peter Hi! Following up on a past query. Any ray of light for T1 + Tidal Connect? Also, would Spotify HiFi work on a T1?

[wklie]

Spotify HiFi: Yes.

I regret to announce that our oldest models Lumin S1 / A1 / T1 / D1 are not going to have Tidal Connect feature.  This supersedes any prior communication from us on this subject.

 

We are still trying to bring Tidal Connect to Lumin D2.

[OuYang]

As a D1 owner for years I am OK without Tidal Connect. Thanks for the long term support on Roon and upcoming Spotify HiFi.

I know using airplay with Apple Music has been discussed in terms of lossless.

 

With the Tidal HiFi new cheaper plan I assume this will remain as CD quality on Lumin if you use full volume?

Anything to be aware of or has anyone tested this?

Yes, it would be lossless over AirPlay in the same way as Apple Music is.
However, I think you'll have a better overall experience by using TIDAL from within the LUMIN App.
Obviously you can use both and see for yourself.
