Saw the FOCUSRITE and got excited. I have a MOTU audio interface. I am thinking of plugging the LSX to the MOTU and from there to the MacBook (music listening and guitar playing). Will this setup work? I mean the Audio Interface has a DAC so should be similar, right?

you can just only do 48kHz/24bit with wireless mode and 96kHz/24bit with a cable mode, also web said support 192kHz/24bit input, but when i input by toslink it not work very well, i think because the KEF LSX have internal DAC , which is not support some format maybe. i'm using pc with LSX connected with toslink, i have tried add a creative x4 in between , than can be doing 192kHz/24bit via the X4 to the Lsx, but still LSX DAC will be down scale back to the best it can do which is 96kHz/24bit, but it's work fine.

i have the KEF lsx and Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 2g. Iam connect he KEF lsx with my PC with 3.5 Aux Cable. When i buy the Topping D10s DAC, can i hear the better sound ? Iam thinking to buy the Fiio K3, it has optical out too and Headphone Amp.

I thought usb-c is better than toslink connection to the KEF ? How about Amazon music to the topping DAC?

Why you can't connect it with a Mac with USB?

Will you get the best audio quality simply by connecting a usbc cable from computer to the LSX 2s?

Here's what I would change in the setup: Webcam: Razer Kiyo Pro Ultra Monitor: Apple Pro Display XDR Mouse: Apple Magic Mouse 2 Audio: Universal Audio Apollo Twin X

Thank you sir

I was really excited to see your desk and that you’re using the Focucrite Scarlet 2i2. I was really hoping to hear that you plugged it into the back and could control the volume right from the front of the unit. Have you tried to connect it yet?

Looks cool, but the price... IMAO better to add some budget and get LS50w

I'm using a Node streamer connected to my LSX via fiberoptical. Bam. High Res deluxe. Also connected... a Kef Kube 8b subwoofer. The sound is out of this world. Crisp. clear and punchy. I just love it.

Yamaha HPH 200p lebih recomended... Dari pada yamaha HPH 200

How does connecting aux from Mac to speakers compare to the DAC? Have you tried other computers, e.g., chromebook. How do they compare to the mac?

Thanks Prabin. I was searching this for a long time and finally found your video to be useful. I have connected the way you have done but to the iMAC instead. I just have one naive question. While I changed the setting from MIDI output in the iMAC to 32/96 and it plays the apple music, however the apple music window still says 16 bit 44.1khz alac despite changing the audio streaming setting in apple music to high-res audio lossless. any help will be appreciated.

I would put these on stands or some foam acoustic isolating pads, not just the desktop. They may sound slightly better tipped up towards the listener.

Hi, I tried optical with 192khz Apple hires but it seems it supports up to 96khz… did you have this problem?

does the usb adapter need external power?

Hi Joel , thanks for the great video. I have youtube music premium from iPhone. What’s the best way to connect to LSX. There is no build in chromecast like LS60. 1. Apple air play? 2. I have chromecast audio. Connect to AUX to LSX?

You are getting 96khz because kef lsx cannot play 192khz

where do you connect the kef lsx ? I connect them aux to my PC line in. I have also the Scarlett Focusrite 2i2 but i think i dont need it anymore. Why do you have the Focusrite ?

Hello @Prabin ! Congratulations for the video. Is bluetooth always on or you can disable this? Same question for the wifi connection

are these dual voltage meaning 220 volts to work in india?

TOSlink optical is digital so it bypass D10’s dac and use LSX’s dac instead. Since you are not using D10’s dac, any cheaper usb to optical converter on Amazon will produce the same quality. If you can find any external dac better than lsx’s then you need to use the 3.5mm analog connection to see if it sound better.

best way: 3.5mm or toslink into LSX. Next best way: Air Play 2. It is that simple with LSX. No reason to use an external DAC as the signal sent to the LSX passes through the internal ADC & DAC; no reason to overcomplicate the process.

Toslink is the way to go. Kef lsx has its own dac. As per many people it does not matter what dac you use if you are using a digital signal just get something which just has toslink system connector the specs will not matter as the dac in kef takes care of the output. Investing in high quality dac does not make sense as there is no digital to analog conversion.

Hi and thanks for the video! I have the exact same setup as you but have a question. Is it normal that I cannot get 24/192 quality? I have Macbook Pro M1 Max 2021 connected to Topping D10s with USB and from D10s to LSX with Toslink cable. I changed Midi Settings from Mac and selected 24/96 khz and sounds good, but if I try go higher and select 24/192 it mutes and no so sound cames out of the LSX. Any workaround or help to be able to get anything higher than 24/96khz? The D10s is able to get better quality and other users have been able to but I cannot. Have you? Thanks!!

Hello Prabin, When you connect the iPad to the Topping, and the Topping to the LSX, can you control the volume that the speakers output from the volume keys in the iPad? Or do you need to use the remote?

The back looks better than the front : )

Elac is better

I’ve been searching for a solution myself but can’t find one. The main issue is that the KEF LSX has an onboard DAC so adding another external DAC to the chain is redundant. The optimal solution would be to get a toslink optical out of the iOS device that does not involve a DAC. I’m not sure if this exists. I’ll keep looking and thank you for sharing your set-up and your thoughts.

you have no problems with the volume when you use airplay ?, I feel that the volume 0-50% sounds very low, all the volume is from 80 to 100% in the volume bar

I use the Topping D10s and Apple Lossless, too with my MB Air M1 or direct Stream from my iPhone via AirPlay2. If you want to get the most out of your LSX use a Subwoofer… believe me, it‘s totally worth it 👍 great video by the way, thank you 🙏

What exactly is the bit rate goes to kef lsx if played hi res lossless music from iPhone via airplay 2?

Hi Prabin, is there any video sound delay with these speakers. I just returned the Denon Home 150 because of Lip Sync issues, it has massive delay. SO om looking for new blue tooth speakers. It might that its an issue with my tv (samsung 8000series) or Blue tooth speakers in general.

Hi there! I would personally worry about the physical setup of the speaker first, as this is likely to have more of an impact on the sound. Ideally something that decouples the speaker from the desk and angles the drivers towards the ears. I have not tried KEFs own stand, but I use Isoacoustics Iso-130 with great success. The base of the speaker does not fit perfectly on the decouplers (but it’s perfectly useable), so I’ve chosen to lay the speakers on their sides. Alternatively cheap foam wedges from Amazon are also an improvement to just sitting them in directly in the desk. Isoacoustics also make some small pucks, if you prefer a more clean look 🙂

Hi @prabin. Did you try and change your Audio MIDI settings on the MacBook Pro to a higher rate with the DAC connected to the Mac and then optical into the KEF? Is that still limited?

Can scarlet get the job done for external dac for mac on lossless music? Is there any diff sound quality from your 2i2 scarlet and the other black one dac? For Apple music output

Details on setup?

Brilliant photography.. I’ve just bought a pair and very happy with them!

How can I get clear record, whenever i record to USB it is as MIDI file

I use the Bose sound link for my speaker as well and they are the most dang annoying Bluetooth devices ever! Keep disconnecting in the middle of zoom calls

Nice video and setup!

How Much is this cost?

When are we going to play again

will the yamaha arius ydp-143 sound exactly like this?

does anyone know who wrote this piece and where it can be purchased so it can be played at a funeral next week? many thanks...

Awesome. I'm thinking about purchasing the P225 for the last month. The reviews are awesome and it sounds amazing. Your recommendation?

More fellings !!

Did you change any settings? add a different output for uself? I know this was recorded with your usb and quality is different than but I own a p255 myself and they all sound beautifull on videos like these but I really dislike the sound coming out of the piano itself and rly limits/bugs me while playing, it sounds so far from this and just to fake.

is this prabin
