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

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...

kzs70,
I use my Lumin X1 with a Cerious Technologies Graphene Matrix power cord.
Due to selling my Bryston BDP-2 and the PS Dac to purchase the Lumin X1, I now have an extra one for sale.
Its listed on audiogon now if your interested.
