VPI Posted June 13, 2020 Report Posted June 13, 2020 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? 1 1
Dusty Chalk Posted June 13, 2020 Report Posted June 13, 2020 I pronounced that in my head as "fuh-TOOM! fuh-TOOM! fuh-TOOM!"

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. 1
morphsci Posted June 13, 2020 Report Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) The Brooklyn DAC+/Bridge has a very good HP out that you can use single ended or balanced. You do need an adapter for balanced, but that just gives the opportunity to buy more shit. I do want to hook it to the GSX when it returns. You also have the option to use the volume as analog, digital or true bypass. I guess I’m a Mytek shill. Edited June 13, 2020 by morphsci 2
VPI Posted June 13, 2020 Report Posted June 13, 2020 I will listen to all shills before settling on my DAC. Lumin Shills, is it your opinion that I would need to add a preamp between the T2 and Powered Monitors? 1 1

jp11801 Posted June 14, 2020 Report Posted June 14, 2020 No the Mytek is more of a Swiss Army knife 1
jp11801 Posted June 14, 2020 Report Posted June 14, 2020 Lumin just added LeedH volume control and they now state you can use the T2 volume control in place of a pre

(I haven't tried that comparison yet.) And it's definitely better than the previous Lumin volume control algorithm. 1

VPI Posted June 18, 2020 Report Posted June 18, 2020 Got the Brooklyn Bridge this afternoon. Still have a ton to figure out, but just listening to HiRes via Qobuz on old Emotiva power monitors I would say it is a hell of a DAC. Shilling will begin soon with an unboxing video. Stay tuned. 14
morphsci Posted June 18, 2020 Report Posted June 18, 2020 Nice! Pro Tip: If you have it attached via USB to a computer the Mytek Control Panel makes it much easier to change settings and do firmware upgrades. I use network streaming on mine for music playback but I have the Mac-mini attached via USB so I can use the control panel. 1
VPI Posted June 18, 2020 Report Posted June 18, 2020 I have the software on the computer. Need to check the firmware version. Also need to figure out how to use it as a streamer besides using Roon, which is the same damn thing as using USB since they are on the same computer.
skullguise Posted June 18, 2020 Report Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) At least with Roon you send it over the network, so some of the USB issues are bypassed. And, now there's THIS, which I am thinking very much of getting.... (EDIT) just got, from Justin! Edited June 18, 2020 by skullguise 2 1
VPI Posted June 18, 2020 Report Posted June 18, 2020 Am I correct that you cannot play real HiRes over either wired or WiFi connection? Or am I just doing something wrong? I probably have 1.5TB of music above 24/96.
skullguise Posted June 18, 2020 Report Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) Both Ethernet and WiFi can do up to 24/192 PCM and DSD64. I am pretty sure I've played some DSD128 tracks on mine in the past, maybe it downsamples (?). EDIT: I think Roon will downsample unsupported formats.....still sounds great. Edited June 18, 2020 by skullguise
VPI Posted June 18, 2020 Report Posted June 18, 2020 I must have a settings issue. Every time I try to play DSD I get a device cannot be initiated or some shit.

What software are you using? I can definitely play 24/192 PCM and DSD 64 directly to the Mytek over my network using Roon.
VPI Posted June 18, 2020 Report Posted June 18, 2020 Roon gives me some error warning about initializing a device or something. I will have to play with it.
n_maher Posted June 18, 2020 Report Posted June 18, 2020 Just send me the 1.5TB of music. I'll downsample it all and send you back 128kbps files. No charge. 4
