Audio Posted August 3, 2019 Author Share Posted August 3, 2019 There are 8 authorised dealers listed in the Lumin website. Since the Hong Kong AV show is on this coming weekend, traditionally, there should be good Lumin product show pricing. Perhaps Peter can give the potential Singapore Lumin owners some advance information for them to plan to make the trip for the HK show.

chimaera1982 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Hi All I've been using the Lumin U1 mini as transport to a denafrip terminator dac. I have one issue which is the controll app on Android. It tends to cut out a lot when I lock my phone and reopen the app. It takes some time even up to 3- 5 over mins to sync. Some times the sync will be stable but sometimes it's not. WiFi is stable in my house using orbis mesh router. I had to use an extender to connect with Lan cable to connect to the Lumin. Could this be the weak link? Inputs are appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chimaera1982 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Currently am using music stored on thumbrive that's plugged to the Lumin. The app is just a remote to control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsen Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Use Ipad to control the Lumin's app as the Androids' version sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wklie Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I have one issue which is the control app on Android. If you have an iOS device, please try that. Since Lumin players are OpenHome compliant, you may also use other OpenHome apps such as Linn Kazoo, Bubble DS Next, etc. for playback control. Lumin app is only required for changing settings and firmware upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was working perfectly fine until few days ago, Lumin cannot load the files in the thumbbdrive. I tried switching off Lumin completely and on again to reload the files, but later cannot find the files again. The Lumin app showing "sda1" and "sda2" folders, but both are empty inside. Kindly help. Edited: Just tried Linn Kazoo app.. cannot find the files too.. problem with my thumbbdrive?

wklie Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Please unplug the USB thumb drive. Power cycle the Lumin. After it is booted up and shows the progress circle on the front panel, then plug in the thumb drive again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, what is the recommendation when not using Lumin? 1. Just leave Lumin power on all the time 2. Switch off Lumin from app 3. Switch off Lumin from app and switch off from the power button at the back of the unit Sent from my Mi A1 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wklie Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 I'd just leave it powered on (if not living in an area with unstable electricity), and make use of Idle Sleep setting that turns off the front panel (or just turn off the front panel).

pcking1624705747 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Not sure if there are still LUMIN X1 owners that are using just the Ethernet RJ45 connection for whatever reasons. The big jump in sound quality moving to the SFP connection truly justifies the additional cost of the X1. I strongly encourage X1 owners to switch to SFP connection if they have not done so. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wklie Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 We have released LUMIN Firmware 12 to add the multi-room feature, which allows loosely synchronized playback of music among several LUMIN or Songcast-compatible players (e.g. Linn). - Any LUMIN model can be a 'Receiver' - LUMIN X1 / T2 / D2 / U1 / U1 MINI / M1 can all be 'Senders' An interesting technical aspect of our implementation is that a LUMIN sender model can perform MQA Core decoding ("first unfold") or DSD to PCM transcoding before sending to Linn players via Songcast protocol. This is noteworthy because Linn does not support MQA, and old Linn players did not support DSD. Usage instructions: http://www.luminmusic.com/support-multi-room.html A convenience switching feature is also added to LUMIN M1 for the RCA input. You may now use the LUMIN iOS app or Linn Kazoo app to switch its input to RCA. It could also be done by standby / wakeup or re-plugging in the RCA input module. This marks 7 years of firmware upgrade since the original LUMIN (December 2012). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
