Enjoying LEEDH Processing….

With my Lumin T2 connected to my PrimaLuna integrated. I removed the pre-amp circuit completely using the HT bypass settings. I am still able to use Roon. I am hearing significantly more detail that is not analytical but more organic. The soundstage and imaging have improved very noticeably. I will go back to the full function with the pre-amp in a few weeks for comparison but I really like what I’m hearing right now. YMMV.

@tuberist Sorry I wasn't trying to disagree with you.  I'm listening to a similarly simple system right now.  

However, I find the preamp in my DAC is inferior to the simple volume control in my integrated tube amp so I leave it bypassed.  Glad yours sounds great.  I guess I should have started with that.

This weekend I tried the LEEDH processing. Wow, this is really good. I wish I had done it sooner. Like you said, more organic and transparent at the same time. Anyone with a Lumin streamer should give this a go.

Ozzy,

Because the sound is so much improved I am now thinking of just changing to a power amplifier without any need to ever use a preamp

That is exactly what I am doing. I now run my Lumin X1 directly to my mono block amps.

Awesome in sound quality. I sold my Ayre preamp and all the associated cables, footers etc. That helped pay for the X1.
