Lumin U2 mini vs Mac laptop sound test
@johnah5  Is the Lumin broken in? It should take 400-500 hours to settle in. For reals.  
Lumin U2 mini vs Mac laptop sound test
@johnah5 Undetstood. What RCA connects are you using? (Doubt that’s it but could be) The power thing could/couldn’t be a factor too Room?  
Lumin U2 mini vs Mac laptop sound test
@johnah5 I have some hearing loss especially in one ear. The little hearing aids recover upper mids.  
Lumin U2 mini vs Mac laptop sound test
@johnah5 Ok...Connects from U1 to Pre and Power? It may well be your pre/DAC??? Got to ask...does the SPL Director pre/DAC have the DAC turned off or are you double DACing (doubt it) Like many others I have never heard or heard of "computer sound...

Digital Dilemma
@navyachts A good all in one steamer/dac such as a Lumin T3 (used T2), the Aurender N200 or Hifi Rose RS150B all punch above…. (Alas, Aurenders do not play with Roon.)    
Can a better power cable make a difference if NOT plugged directly into an outlet?
@hilde45 In my trip of chasing and getting bettet sound I found that not all Power Conditioners serve that goal well. Just as not all cabels are created equaly so goes it with PCs ( Is that PC to say?). The Audience PC may/may not make a differen...
