The first consideration for freezes and skips is likely the network. Even with 600Mb service, I was able to saturate my network until I enabled traffic management to avoid buffer bloat. The term "buffer bloat" is easily searched online, and with a little luck you (the royal You, not you...

Archive 81, episode 1 was flawless…

My processor *is* Atmos capable and despite not having Atmos speakers on it, the feed identifies as Atmos. Lemme fire up some Archive 81! Any particular episode? Edit: It's an Emotiva RMC-1 processor and the app (phone, iPad) shows that it's being decoded as Dolby Atmos.

Let me double check on some Netflix content. Are there any in particular you'd like me to check? I know I've seen Atmos on the app, but I don't actually have Atmos speakers configured. That could be a key difference...

I'm on 15.3 and it's generally been good for my system. I get the occasional odd electronic stuttering sound - like the audio was being broadcast through a fan - but that's usually just on one channel (most commonly, my left surround) and I can clear it by going out to the main menu and kicking...

Ah - reading comprehension fail on my part. I thought you experienced those problems under the new beta.

Give it a listen!

Let us know what they say! (I'm betting they suggest to just leave it on...)

That's quite disappointing...

@johnwa Have the panels been replaced or are they original?

I don't recall seeing that in Lumin's documents. My T2 doesn't go into standby, but that's probably because I have the "Idle Sleep" option set to Never. The other options are 15 minutes and 1 hour. I haven't tested Idle Sleep to see if alters sound quality, but it's possible it keeps the...

It's been on about a year now. With computers, I have our (small) office leave them on all the time. They are set to reduce power and sleep the monitors, but I've read that the most common cause of failure for computers is from power cycles. These streamers are just a dedicated computer...

You can run a set of jumper speaker wires from your speakers to the BF210 speaker-level inputs. Super easy! I don't turn off any DAC. When I first started exploring separate DACs, I found a claim they should be left on. I think that was from Mike Moffat of Schiit. I was skeptical, so I...

I don't recall Lumin products processing Atmos. If you run the digital through the receiver, you've bypassed the Lumin DAC. Consider, though, what Atmos is used for. My interpretation is it's used to convey overhead motion in soundtracks. For that, I'm sure, it's great. (I haven't yet...

Sorry I don't have any experience with that hybrid configuration Robert. Did Upscale clarify for you how to use both pairs of inputs to the amp? I've been using Wireworld Eclipse 8 balanced wires with mine, but that's mostly due to a full balanced path from T2 to preamp to amps. They seem to...

That's what I thought too, but I was provided instructions with the new power cable to check it both ways, and it would be obvious which one was best. I probably should've checked that with the standard power cord too, before shoving the rack back in wiring closet, but if someone with easy...

Sorta kinda unrelated, but it's about AppleTV so I thought I'd post here. Possibly free upgrade: carefully listen to something from your AppleTV. Unplug it and flip the polarity on the power cable, restart and listen again. Keep it whichever way sounds better to you. I will admit this works...

Not yet... but I have it in a cart right now. I might just place the order, though I'm a quite busy and probably can't install it for another few weeks at a minimum. Edit: okay, it's ordered. But I can't give any useful feedback for awhile. The price they charge for it if you combine it with...

@Robert D, I see them on the Lumin site. They're listed as a "Showcase Dealer." First, I totally agree with buying locally. Start there. But if that doesn't work for you, they're a great resource and the US Distributor for them says they're just a great group of people. I actually picked...

I have their T2 for my office setup, and I am extremely happy with it. My guess is the D2 will be nearly as good on the sound quality. The UI is great for me. I have some DSD files I run off a USB stick, and I use Qobuz and Tidal natively for high res streamed material. It also runs Spotify...
