Pictures at an Exhibition
One of my favorite works.  This is my favorite piano version (Byron Janis)!  As a bonus, it also include the orchestral version with Antal Dorati and the Minneapolis Symphony. https://www.amazon.com/Moussorgsky-Pictures-Exhibition-Chopin-Etude/dp... 
Lumin T2 question
@galleybob If you have the Lumin connected via analog to the Anthem, the Anthem will not show the original resolution of the stream.  This is because the digital stream has already been converted to an anlog signal by the time it reaches the Anthe... 
Is it possible to connect Lumin x1 to Hegel H390?
I guess some people just can't bring themselves to be helpful.  It's easier to make inane comments.Those instructions are for bypassing the Hegel's internal DAC and using an external DAC instead.  In your case the Hegal will not be sending anythin... 
Quboz/Aurender Issue
@waltersalas, the issue is almost certainly that your Qobuz subscription has expired as @hgeifman suggested.  This issue was recently raised in another thread and that was the solution.  The 30 second snippets are what you get if you don't have a ... 
I am no longer getting MQA?
My Lumin T2 just got a firmware update and the release notes indicated that there was an update to the MQA decoder (although they didn't say why the update was needed).  I don't have Tidal and, therefore, don't stream MQA but perhaps your Auralic ...

Ok now I am frustrated with streaming
I am running a brand new Asus AC3100 router and it has a few ports One thing I would do (if you haven't already) is check for firmware updates to your Asus.  New wireless routers are shipped all the time with immature firmware which eventually g...

Do you ever have to re-break-in speakers?
OP, In my experience, yes.  I had the same situation as you where the previous owner hadn't used them in a while.  The bass was anemic when I first started playing them but, after 10-15 hours or so, they started to loosen up.  It's not hard to ima... 
Qobuz users ... What the?
Additional information.I've had some time to do more investigating and apparently many of the non-HiRes badged 2L label albums on Qobuz are (at least tagged as) encoded as MQA.  I say "at least tagged as" because I encountered on album today that ... 
How do you use Tidal with you local library?
OP  I'm about the same age as you and intend to give Roon a try soon with the trial.  However, they just upped the lifetime license cost and, at $699, it takes almost six years to break even vs. yearly.  A LOT can happen in the digital streaming w... 
Qobuz users ... What the?
@sonicjoy They all play as 16/44 on the Windows and Android apps. I’m betting you see the same thing. Thanks for checking.  And yes, there's some interesting stuff there.  Not all of it is to my taste but I don't think I had to skip a single track... 
Were you naughty or nice? What did Santa bring you! Audio related only please!
@mr_m You must be my long lost twin then because the Santa that brought me my Lumin T2 looked like me! 
Confused and need help
What leads you to believe that the Maggies are "going faulty"?  Is it just because they've lost some sparkle?  If so, I'm with @mijostyn.  When was the last time you replaced the tubes in the LS17?  Good NOS tubes in a preamp can definitely bring ...
