Does the LEEDH processing work with Lumin products that don't have an onboard DAC? I notice my U1-mini has this processor, but I always keep the volume control fixed. Can this work with an outboard DAC?
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.

While this speaks well for LEEDH processing, I think what you are really enjoying is the absence of the primaluna pre. Primaluna has a full featured preamp that isn't as transparent as the simpler ones. OTOH, it is good to hear that Primaluna's amp gives a clear and detailed soundstage without the pre. --Jerry |
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. Jerry
