thyewb Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 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. Hi Peter, My Lumin is unable to detect the thumbdrive every few times after usage and I need to do the above method again and again. Do you have a permanent solution for this issue?

wklie Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 For the USB drive, it must not have more than one partition. Best way is to use MinimServer on a NAS or computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIM1624706072 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Peter, Seek you advise. I recently acquired an X1. Streaming 44.1k track upscale to DSD128, the music sound less organic and dynamic than my other setup of redbook CD disc play through a old Theta DAC. Both X1 and Theta connect to same to a CAT pre/power amp, Focus speaker. DO you have any recommendation on tweeting the X1? Looking forward to your advise.

wklie Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Some users reported they required hundreds of hours to burn it in. Please put music of different sample rates to the Lumin playlist, turn on repeat and let it play 7x24 for several weeks. Turn off the amp if necessary. Please experiment with both re-sampling off and upsampling to DSD128. Some people prefer straight PCM, some prefer DSD upsampling. Since you mentioned streaming, you may try some music files placed on MinimServer freeware on local network, or a USB thumb drive. Please also try the fiber setup: http://www.luminmusic.com/support-fibre.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audio Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share Posted February 27, 2020 On my system, playback at native sample rate sounds best. Upscaling or converting to DSDS doesn't improve things for me. I even tried Audirvana upscaling redbook CD to DSD512 on the X1, playback at native 44.1KHz, still sounds best. (Audio) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mingzhen Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Hi , I am new to Lumin app. I found that every time I play a song be it from my music library or Tidal, Lumin app will transfer the song to a Lumin Playlist, and the next song continue Lumin playlist. Can I just play a song & continue from the same album/playlist in Tidal or music library? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wklie Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 In order to add the whole album to playlist, please tap and hold the album art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twlmad Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Hi , I am new to Lumin app. I found that every time I play a song be it from my music library or Tidal, Lumin app will transfer the song to a Lumin Playlist, and the next song continue Lumin playlist. Can I just play a song & continue from the same album/playlist in Tidal or music library? If what you are asking is whether it can just keep on playing songs after the first selected song from tidal ends, I believe it can't. It only plays from the playlist, which means you need to consciously select songs or whole albums and add it to the playlist. One of the reasons why I sold my lumin.

mingzhen Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Lumin U1 or U1 Mini does not support Upsampling to DSD256 or DSD512? Some users reported they required hundreds of hours to burn it in.

mingzhen Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 I think that’s native file playback. For U1 Mini Option screen, the upsampling for PCM is only up to DSD128 option. Unless there’s a new firmware update to allow higher than that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless there’s a new firmware update to allow higher than that? If you are talking about U1 Mini, then yes, that's the difference between the U1 and the U1 mini, upsampling limited to DSD128.

Audio Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 Also, if you want to upsampling to DSD256 and you have the U1 Mini, you can do the upsampling with the streaming software. I have managed to upsampling to DSD512 and then sending it to the X1 with Audrivana or Jriver. (Audio) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcking1624705747 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Maybe your network having issues at that time ? Did you try to restart your LUMIN by removing the power ?

wklie Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Lumin U1 or U1 Mini does not support Upsampling to DSD256 or DSD512? They support upsampling to DSD128 only. U1 and T2 supports playback of DSD256 file or DSD512 (upsampled from Roon or Audirvana). U1 MINI supports playback of DSD256 file, but not DSD512 stream/file.

wklie Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Suddenly can't stream from Spotify to the Lumin despite being available on my Spotify device list. Please power cycle your Lumin X1. After that, in Lumin app, please turn Spotify Connect to Off, then On. On iPad, please logout from Spotify. Reboot iPad, then login Spotify and retry. If it's still not working, I'll send you a new firmware with the latest Spotify SDK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wklie Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Would Lumin app be updated to allow upsampling to DSD256 or DSD512? No. We do not have a high power processor in Lumin. Some manufacturers advertise high power processor as a feature, but there is a different school that believes higher power is not necessarily better for SQ so they underclock the CPU in their products. It's also not hard to find people underclock and undervolt the PC for audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mingzhen Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Hi Peter thanks for your explanation. Can you tell me what are the differences for U1 & U1 Mini? Especially in term of sound quality? Is it a significant difference in SQ? The reason I ask is because the price is 3 times difference, try to justify the cost of upgrading :) No. We do not have a high power processor in Lumin.
