  2. The State of DACSES

    Can the Lumin Shills tell me if it has HP out?  I think you guys are all using HP amps, correct?

    Also, have the shills connected it to a speaker system?  Good enough volume control to act as a preamp for a basic system I presume?

    Mike has his connected to speakers but uses a preamp I believe. I have the T2 connected to the GSX-mini (ridiculously good). No headphone out on the Lumin and both Mike and I use it with Roon. If you buy reach out for the dealer we used

     

    I would not use the digital volume as a preamp but I'm superstitious about using digital volume past a certain point.

    I can't spell

    on the dac note, I've had the opportunity to try Mike's Lumin T2 and it is pretty pretty good. So good that I ordered one. For those that like the Brooklyn this is a step up and has a fully realized streamer in the box as well. It also just works, no wonky set up issues and great sound. I would give it a week of play before serious listening though. I really like the Brooklyn and had one at the house for a bit.

  9. The Never Ending Search for a Music Server

    I've gone the SOTM 200 Ultra route, essentially a linux audiophool small computer built to only do audio. I run a Roon server connected to a network switch. I did this primarily to get the convince of Roon with better SQ. The Roon server sounds good but is not nearly as good sounding as the SOTM. 

    For me Roon was the way to go to leverage my Tidal and Qobuz subscriptions. I'd cancel Roon but I'm on a package deal with Mike and Raffy. It just opens up so much more music to me and the Roon engine is pretty sweet.

    I preferred the Ethernet connection to the usb for sound and stability. I know they were working on the usb but had the Ethernet pretty much nailed last I spoke with MH a few months back. 
     

    im actually simplifying my rig and will be selling my ULN8 after ten years or so of service.
