XCool, I found the Lumin app to be very stable, never dropping out or buffering. Is your wireless set up robust? What you described with the Lumin app suggests a network issue not the app.
Lumin T2 burn in time?
Hi, I just got a Lumin T2 streamer 3 days ago, and have been playing it continuously for 3 days. So far I think the sound is pretty good. Great details with excellent spaciousness. However, I find the bass to be a little bit thin. I'm comparing this to my current Cambridge Audio 851N streamer. The Lumin is 3x the price of the 851N.
My question for you Lumin owners - how long of a burn in period are you giving your streamer/dac before it reaches its optimal sound? and do you think the bass will improve with the burn in?
Overall I do like the sound, but if the bass department doesn't improve, it would be a show stopper for me. Another thing I wished I had known before purchasing this unit is the lack of remote control. The Lumin App is not bad, but the lack of basic control via an infrared remote is a real bummer. I'm not looking for full fledged feature set from a remote, just basic rewind, forward, start, and stop. It saves me the hassle of opening my phone every time to perform these simple tasks.
Anyway thanks in advance!

I felt the same way you did at first, but now I am really happy with it. Are you using IOS or Android for the app? I think IOS works much better for some reason. The app works great 99% of the time for me. Every once in while I have to close the app and re-open it, but it is rare. You might email Peter from Lumin, and ask if he has any suggestions. He is their head programmer and is very responsive. His email is LiOn@pixelmagic.com |
@rockrider I believe you are correct. The Lumin and Esoteric apps both work with my TEAC NT-505 and are almost to identical to each other (and TEAC's HR Streamer app) and I thought they were all part of the same company. |
