LX CONNECT has Roon Tested. Roon transforms the experience of browsing music; artist photos,
credits, bios, reviews, lyrics, tour dates; and composers are located automatically, then
interconnected by links to build a searchable digital magazine about your music collection. Roon finds
all the same links between your personal files and the millions of tracks available on TIDAL, so you
can start with the music you know, then explore and discover new music from the world beyond your
collection.
Please note: In order to ensure optimum performance of the LX CONNECT system, the LX CONNECT
Hub is limited to 32-bit / 192kHz operation when paired to the LX CONNECT Speakers. When the USB
DAC functionality is utilised for headphone amplifier or pre-out functionality, you can activate higher
resolution performance (DSD256 / 384kHz) by disabling 'Wireless' mode via the LX CONNECT Hub
control menu. This will enable DSD256 / 384kHz operation for headphone amplifier or pre-out
operation only.
