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!

Thanks for your comments xcool. I'm not entirely sure of our shuffle method, but I'll pass your comments on to the team.
I'll be honest - shuffle and repeat aren't part of my normal playing style, so I haven't observed different implementations.
Can I ask - on the Cambridge app - when you turn shuffle off, does the playlist go back to how it was before?
Hi @thingswelike Thanks for the reply.   

Yes, on the Cambridge app, the playlist goes back to insertion order when you turn off the 'shuffle' feature.

Thanks!
Thingswelike,
Does changing the output setting from normal to low on my Lumin T2 change any of the dynamics, or does it simply lower the volume. I noticed The specs on my Classe processor say maximum XLR analog input is 4VRMS (which I think is voltage). I believe the low output On the Lumin T2 is also 4 volts. If I set it to low output, am I losing any data?
Firstly for the proper LUMIN support channels you are best emailing info@luminmusic.com as that gets distributed to the correct expert technician (which is definitely not me), however...

Hi bwguy - no compromise with setting it low.
Another way is to connect with RCA instead of XLR - that has the lower voltage anyway. If possible you could compare both.
Hi,  I just want to give an update to everyone on this thread on the Lumin T2 after a little over 2 weeks of burning in.

I have to say the T2 is sounding much better now.  Bass has definitely improved, and the overall sound is just so 'sweet', for a lack of better word.   I am really liking the sound of this unit.  The treble is not harsh or bright and bass goes pretty low.   Overall it is very musical, and enjoyable to listen to.   I think this is going to be a keeper for me.   Now I wonder how much better the X1 sounds at 3 times the price.   Anyone here who has heard both the T2 and X1 cares to comment?

There are still a few things I would like to see, and hopefully the Lumin team will consider it for the next version:

- more robust Lumin app.   I'm still losing connection to the unit every so often, and it's annoying as hell.  

- The Lumin app is actually not bad to use.  It is pretty fast when it is working.   There is one feature that I wish Lumin team would consider re-implementing and that is the 'shuffle' feature.  I had already described it in one of my previous posts in this thread.

- consider adding a desktop version of the app.

- Add infrared remote capability to the unit.   I'm talking just a handful of convenient features like starting, stoping, pausing, skipping, rewinding songs, powering on/off the unit, and for bonus, ability to scroll up and down the playlist.   I still find it annoying to always have to go to my phone for simple control.  I prefer to just use a remote control instead of reaching for my phone.  Simple things like dimming the display takes a handful of steps to get to.   I understand the Lumin team is probably trying to keep the unit as simple as possible, and I get that.  I think the unit looks simple and beautiful.  I am not asking for buttons on the front panel, but a simple infrared sensor.   I am willing to pay up to $1000 more for this addition.

Anyway, this is a great sounding unit from Lumin at a reasonable price tag for the sound quality that it delivers.  Kudos to the Lumin team.  Well done!
