Roon Ready Endpoint & DAC?

[wklie (Peter Lie)]

Lumin does not have a remote control for the volume. But can serve as a preamp (coupled with an Amp), right?

If so, I am assuming the volume will be controlled by the Roon controller on iPad and such?

1. Short answer: yes. Long answer: in a setup with source direct to power amp (without pre-amp) - not just Lumin but including other DAC and CD players with digital volume as well - generally people find that having a pre-amp gives better results. That being said, recent Lumin exhibitions in Munich and Hong Kong have Lumin S1 direct output to WestminsterLab mono amps. Note: if you find you have too much gain in your setup or have to reduce digital volume too much, use attenuators. You should also turn off Lumin digital output.

2. Yes, you can use Roon app or Lumin app to control Lumin volume.
