Lumin X1 dont see many virtual audiogon systems with this?

I just thought of an analogy that might better convey my impression of the LUMIN App vs Roon, which is removing speaker grills on speakers when listening.   I don't know if all speakers benefit from doing so, but mine do.  While keeping the grills on still provides a fine presentation, removing them provides more--clearer and just plain more.   Note I am trying to find a way to express this without the hackneyed "veil lifting" description. Again, best of luck with your decision.  

Seems signal processing is dampened when using roon ap.   Not sure why this happens.  

I updated mine too, but my info is private - the journey from a U1 mini > U1 w/X1 PSU and now a X1. (and my 3rd post here in A’gon). USB out sounds great. Just waiting on some interconnects so I can test out the DAC. My current DAC is in my Diablo 120.

Thanks very much.
I have a chord tt2 and interested in the x1 dac. Good to hear a separate dac with an x1 via usb works well. I am planning to go thru preouts on a nad n m17 v2i when connecting the x1 to start out. Have a stereo preamp but hoping nad will work out in lieu of a stereo preamp, but may want to have tubes in the mix. Hate all the connectivity issues when switching between ht and stereo.

can u get x1 without psu?  

Diablo sounds interesting.

@jumia
The X1, from an authorized dealer only comes with the included PSU…I dont think its available without it?

Stereo and phantom center HT is how I roll…Its a shared space.  Currently, everything inputs into the Diablo 120 dac via toslink or USB.  With the X1, the analog output will favor stereo listening (while still keeping USB if and when needed). HT will also remain toslink into the Diablo dac all controlled with the same remote.  

Btw, if you have a special (non-streaming) dac, the U1 is really stellar.
