randyhat Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 @Wklie I am using an iPad Air. I tried rebooting iPad, deleting and re-installing the Lumin app and resetting the T1. I also tried it on my iPhone 7+....still no masters tab. I checked with Tidal to see if there might be a problem with my account settings; they referred me to Lumin support. Any ideas what is happening here? Link to comment
wklie Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 @randyhat I tested with iPad Air iOS 10.3.3. Please send your Tidal username and password to [email protected] for us to test using your account. After we finished our testing you may change your password. Peter Lie LUMIN Firmware Lead Link to comment
randyhat Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 @wklie I did as you requested. My iPad has iOS version 11.2.6 Link to comment
wklie Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 @randyhat I've reproduced the issue and fixed it. Please swipe away the app and retry. Thanks. By the way, the Masters folder is a human-edited recommended list only. To find more Tidal Masters (10000+ albums including multiple versions of same albums), you may refer to this list: http://www.meridianunplugged.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=268318 Peter Lie LUMIN Firmware Lead Link to comment
randyhat Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Thank you for fixing this. Yes I understand there are many more MQA titles than are displayed in the Masters folder. That folder though is a convenient way to look for some of the new releases. I find many more MQA files while searching for artists and albums. I have also used the list you linked. BTW I am really enjoying the Lumin T1 player. wklie 1 Link to comment

wklie Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Lumin M1 is now MQA certified, making it one of the rare MQA Roon Ready integrated amplifier that actually decodes MQA over Roon RAAT (*) So the whole Lumin network player/transport product line S1 / A1 / T1 / D1 / D2 / U1 / M1 are now MQA certified. * There are other MQA Roon Ready products from other manufacturers that cannot decode MQA when playing from Roon.

BlueSkyy Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 And all of this goodness without an upcharge by the manufacturers of Lumin products!

One and a half Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Have a couple of questions about Roon and Lumin operations on DSD. If a file is DSD128, how does Roon change this to DSD64? (OK a Roon question, still Lumin owners would know) If Native DSD64 files are played in Roon, are there any audible inter track clicks when heard through a Lumin? Will Lumin be exhibiting at Munich 2018? AS Profile Equipment List Say NO to MQA Link to comment
wklie Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 You can configure Roon DSP Engine to convert DSD128 (or anything) to DSD64, with several options. You should Enable Native DSD Processing, and enable Parallelize Sigma-Delta Modulator. Lumin players have relay. There will be a very minor relay click when switching between PCM and DSD. Continuous gapless PCM playback, and continuous gapless DSD playback, should not cause relay clicks. Munich: Yes! Peter Lie LUMIN Firmware Lead Link to comment

Chiller Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 @wklie I just purchased a Lumin D1 and I'm loving it so far. Can you tell me if the device has galvanic isolation built into the ethernet network connection? I have an external isolator and perhaps will sell it if it's redundant. Thanks for your help :-) wklie 1 Link to comment
erniejade Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Congrats!!! Did you get a different power supply? If not an sbooster power supply makes a big difference.

It's a standard Ethernet port with a transformer for isolation. Perhaps you may try do a listening test with and without the external isolator, after you've burned-in the D2, and see if you hear a difference. Peter Lie LUMIN Firmware Lead Link to comment

wklie Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Please turn on repeat, put PCM and DSD music to playlist, turn off front panel and Roon Ready and Spotify Connect (unless you use Roon or Spotify) and let it play 7x24 for two weeks. It's best to use XLR output. Turn off the power amp if necessary. Chiller 1 Peter Lie LUMIN Firmware Lead Link to comment

msr Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Another question, WKLIE: does the Lumin T1 has galvanic isolation on the ethernet port? Does products like this below make any difference in sound quality and sibilance? https://www.pinkfaun.com/index.php/pink-faun-lan-isolator-rj45.html Link to comment
Popular Post wklie Posted April 18, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2018 It's a standard Ethernet port with a transformer for isolation. I have no comment on LAN isolator, but have received multiple positive user reports with the use of fiber media converter (FMC). Connection: WiFi Router -> FMC -> fiber -> FMC -> Lumin Models: Lumin U1 / M1 / D2 : TP-Link MC210CS (about $45 x 2) Lumin S1 / A1 / T1 / D1: TP-Link MC110CS (about $32 x 2) [Compatible with TP-Link 100Mbps FMC but not TP-Link 1000Mbps FMC] Note: The Lumin-side FMC needs to be equipped with a LPS. As a start, this $11 power supply received praises from multiple forum members: https://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?search_type=jamecoall&catalogId=10001&freeText=1953639&langId=-1&productId=1953639&storeId=10001&ddkey=http:StoreCatalogDrillDownView msr and thingswelike 1 1 Peter Lie LUMIN Firmware Lead Link to comment
kelly200269 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Just a question to everyone about the L1. Thanks in advance I run an A1 with a 2TB L1. However, I've almost run out of storage. Can I connect another L1 to the A1 via my router, and if so will it show up in the Lumin app? And if so, will I have to 'toggle' between the two L1 drives using the app, or will it show ALL the albums present on both drives in the Album screen? Thanks! Link to comment
sfseay Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 You can have two L1s, but you can only point the app to use one of them one at a time. I just swapped out the hard drive in my L1 for a 4TB one. Works great! kelly200269 1 MAIN SYSTEM - SST Ambrosia 2000 Second Edition Preamp and Son of Ampzilla II Amp, dCS Debussy DAC, Bricasti M5 Streamer, PS Audio P3 Power Plant, Aurender ACS10 Server/Streamer, Focal Sopra No. 1 Speakers, JL Audio F112 Subwoofer, Elac SUB3070 Subwoofer, 20TB Synology NAS, Small Green Computer i5/1TB SSD running Roon HOME OFFICE SYSTEM - NAD M10 Integrated Amp/Streamer/DAC, Auralic Altair Streamer/DAC, Oppo BDP-103 SACD, KEF LS50 Speakers Link to comment
