PS Direct Stream Vs. Lumin X 1 Sound quality difference?


I think I'm going to purchase a Lumin X-1 and sell my PS Direct Steam Dac.
Can anyone share their experience with these 2 products, particularly in sound quality?

azwill,

Different power cords do work differently with each component, that I know for sure. 

Question:
Do the feet on the X1 come off? Placing the large Stillpoints under it only allows for them to be placed at the edges due to the X1 feet. I haven't  turned it upside to check if the feet are removal, but from what I can tell there appears to be no screw in them.

Not sure where you are in the breakin in process with your X1 but hang in there it does change quite a bit.
I still have less than 100 hours. It is better than it was on the first day but still far from what I heard with the demo unit.Yes I have to hang in for 2-3 weeks more. I try to be patient and not to change anything (fuse or power cord) until I am not happy with what i hear...




kzs70,

You need to let it run 24/7 to get some more hours on it quickly.

kzs70,

Any improvement yet?
Tomorrow will be 2 weeks of continuous  music playing 24/7 on my X1.
Really digging it.
I just received the SR orange fuse for it today.

ozzy,
Yes it has improved a lot after 200 hours continuos playing.I think I need at least one more week break-in, so I am not changing the fuse before that...
