Lumin X2 Has anyone used this device yet?

Interesting about the Qrono d2a filter. It does do something, but I too believe it smooths out the dynamics.

And at this point in break in, the bass is better than at first but is still lacking that bottom oomph that the X1 had.

I am glad you’re enjoying the upgrade. Looks like LUMIN did it again. I noticed that you are using a hard drive plugged in directly to your DAC, I too started that way because less is more, right? Then one day I tried a Melco music server and will never go back. Still doesn’t make sense why it’s much better than the bare drive but I couldn’t deny the fact that it wasn’t even subtle. Not even a tricked out MacMini could compare. You should try one sometime just to make sure that you can still squeeze some more drops of performance from the X2. I doubt that you will regret it. Good luck and enjoy.

spenav,

Interesting about the Melco music server. Any particular model I should look at? I assume I would have to copy my music from my 8TB hard Drive? Not an easy task.

I am using the N1Z/2EX-S40. Copying your music to it would be easy. You could also use your drive as an expansion drive. It works really well with the LUMIN app. 

Almost on queue, just as the X2 passed the 200 hour break in mark the deep bass has returned. Quite pleased.

Question:

The X2 came with Iso-Acoustic footers installed.  Before I disconnect everything and turn the unit upside down, can they be removed? Are they just twisted on?
