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


I think I'm going to purchase a Lumin X-1 and sell my PS Direct Steam Dac.
Can anyone share their experience with these 2 products, particularly in sound quality?

wsrrsw,
When you and others can, also try the X1 with the EtherRegen, AfterDark clock and power supply and fiber cables.

Ozzy,

The EtherRegen is one the list.

If I understand it, the clock goes into the EtherRegen overriding it’s clock? What After Dark one did you get please? ( apologies if you already said) Same with the fiber cable? I currently have an off the rack optical cable and switch recommended on the LUMIN web site. 

For the EtherRegen power supply I was thinking an S Booster. Thoughts?

Did you also change fuse on the X1 power supply?

TIA
Yes, the clock is to improve on the EtherRegen clock. I bought the AfterDark clock that is supposed to mate well with the EtherRegen, I think it is called the Queen. If you buy the AfterDark power supply for the clock it has 2 power outputs, one for the Uptone and the other for the AfterDark clock.
Yes, I put a QSA red inside the Lumin power supply. I also moved the Synergistic orange fuse to the AfterDark power supply.

Oh, the fiber optic cable was from what was available from Amazon. That stuff is relatively cheap.
I did however buy a pretty good transceiver for the Lumin to plug in the fiber cable.

And, if you want to spend more money, the Critical Mass footers are very good under the Lumin.

Ok..found the AFTERDARK. BLACK MODERNIZE LINEAR POWER SUPPLY FOR SYNOLOGY DS918+ & QNAP HS-453DX or is it the other smaller one (I see the 2 power outputs in the photo)? But (getting my ducks lined up) what cords are using to go for the Afterdark PSU to the EtherRegen and the Afterdock clock?

As for transceiver upgrade that sounds good too. What did you go with?

I have decided to get the extra works for the 1X. On list Audio Sensibility power Signature Lumin X1 Silver DC Cable.
