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?

Thanks for helping me out. Much obliged. It’s fun figuring it out but it’s great to have help along the way.

On the way.

AfterDark Power

AfterDark Clock

DC Cable from Lumin Power to X1

DC Cables

EtherREGEN


Will use good power cord into the After dark PSU.

Still on the list to sort..

  1. Transceivers 
  2. A clock cable for the clock to clock? What on earth is that puppy?
  3. And then??? Fuse for Lumin PSU..or maybe big red?







Oh, you will still need a BNC cable for the AfterDark clock to the EtherRegen. I am using a Nordost Valhalla.

Ozzy,

T H A N K. Y O U!

So far got the EtherREGEN in place. I couldn’t suss out much of a difference. Some? Still waiting on PSU and Clock upgrade. 

But the power cord from Lumin PSU into the X1 lit it up (with an unburned in cord) !

Dang if this is fun. I’m thrilled.
