Enjoying LEEDH Processing….

With my Lumin T2 connected to my PrimaLuna integrated. I removed the pre-amp circuit completely using the HT bypass settings. I am still able to use Roon. I am hearing significantly more detail that is not analytical but more organic. The soundstage and imaging have improved very noticeably. I will go back to the full function with the pre-amp in a few weeks for comparison but I really like what I’m hearing right now. YMMV.

Carlsbad, as you know, there are many in our hobby who like what a pre-amp does sonically for their system. And then there are others who like to run direct into an amplifier. I think we would all agree it’s the  gear and ears dependent on the choice that’s made. I have only one combined source unit so this simple set up seems to be working for me

@tuberist Sorry I wasn't trying to disagree with you.  I'm listening to a similarly simple system right now.  

However, I find the preamp in my DAC is inferior to the simple volume control in my integrated tube amp so I leave it bypassed.  Glad yours sounds great.  I guess I should have started with that.

Carlsbad, absolutely no offense taken.

This weekend I tried the LEEDH processing. Wow, this is really good. I wish I had done it sooner. Like you said, more organic and transparent at the same time. Anyone with a Lumin streamer should give this a go.

Ozzy,

Because the sound is so much improved I am now thinking of just changing to a power amplifier without any need to ever use a preamp
