Leedh with Chord Hugo TT2

[Paul_Whittaker]

Hi, does anyone on here use Leedh processing and a Hugo TT2?

The TT2 has a pre built in but I’m interested to hear if anyone uses Leedh and has the dac in dac mode?

Thanks
Paul

I did a search for Lumin with Chord DAC users, although not all of them are using the Lumin digital volume feature:

I dare to say I’m happy

@dBA_SOLUCIONS_ELECTR. There is one other factor I would add on your question of lumin vs sonore. Today I began testing a brand new feature just added to my lumin devices via a firmware update called Leedh volume control. There is a whole active topic in the Roon forums on this here: LUMIN Music - Leedh Processing Leedh volume control is in theory bringing lossless volume control to digital devices and Lumin is one of the first ones to implement it. It’s getting really good reviews and ma…

DAVE v MAY, only one will survive

Yes, got pre back, all working again (PS PCB, had to get from Classé in Montreal). Have both DACs connected to U1m, DAVE for headphones at the moment. Will go back to comparisons through the main speakers with the May at some point soon, but honestly just enjoying music! Yes, the U1m I have restored to 85 output level, had to reduce to 30 (Min) to run the DAVE direct to amp, and that worked just fine. I was impressed with the Leedh processing, can’t hear a shift in noise floor or detail with ev…

What Chord gear do you have?

My Lumin U1 Mini feeds my Chord Hugo 2TT/M-Scaler - it’s absolutely amazing. And my Quest for my office setup sounds gorgeous.

TT or TT2? If TT2…then I would likely agree…and suggest even better SQ. Recently, I home tested TT2+LUMIN U1 mini vs Lumin T2 vs Qutest+Lumin T2 vs Lumin T2+TT2. Lumin T2’s DAC was equal but different to the Qutest IMO. The TT2 brings the sound into another level. I kept my Lumin U1 mini and bought the TT2.

Thanks, I’ve asked a number of people for feedback. My dealer is repairing my speaker but I’m gutted it I can’t have a TT2. I wanted to get a U1 and sell my U1 mini and use leedh but I have lost confidence in its safe operation. If I wasn’t in warranty I would be out of pocket.

I’m sorry about the speaker. However, in the absence of setting mistake or accident of manually changing settings or volume, or resetting the unit or volume to 100, it is impossible for Lumin digital output to be the culprit.

I’d suspect the DAC, but I’m not aware of this brand of DAC giving a pop sound.

My coworker thinks the power amp has the responsibility of protecting against DC voltage from DAC, so he suspects the power amp.

I fully trust Lumin here also as there would be far more reports about this.

My power amp and the DAC when it blew were both Chord Electronics. Probably a rare combination with Leedh all at the same time.

My speaker is being fixed and as stupid as it may seem I’m going to do it again. I want this to work and I want to know what the issue is. Next time I will test with cheap speakers.
