    Why I bought an EV other than Lucid Air

    Forgive me for asking but what’s the point of coming here and telling people why you don’t buy the car they’re passionate about? Why go to a Rolling Stones concert to tell people why you’re not buying tickets to that concert? This is the equivalent of a reverse Dear John letter: it’s you, not...

    Best audio sources for SSP

    Source is king. As they say in scientific research: garbage in = garbage out. First thing to consider is whether you’re able to tell the difference between fidelity while driving in a car on a highway. We have the best audio system in any car but the highway noise, the listening space (the car)...

    Roon Ready

    I had to stop at one point because it’s an endless well of financial drain, diminishing returns in the asymptomatic curve with increasing odds of a divorce. Furthermore, at 55, my hearing only takes me to 15khz and so theoretically, anything sampled above 16 or 24/30, is lost on me by the...

    Roon Ready

    I am really happy for you and @thyname for getting in early and enjoying the service. Thank you for your feedback. I’d offer two counterpoints though: If you take a DSD file and listen to it on a non DSD-DAC device, by definition it has to convert it to PCM prior to an analog conversion. For...

    Roon Ready

    For some audiophiles, Roon introduces signal distortion and therefore is not preferable. I tried it for a while because of its UI but its ability to judge DR was poor so I dropped it. Being able to read an artist profile was not worth the $830 to me. My Innuos server combines my local and Qobuz...

    Lucid Audio Experience AMA (March 11, 2025)

    Any thoughts on the option of recalibrating the Atmos to put the driver in the middle of the soundstage?

    Sorry, ATMOS staging

    Lucid Audio Experience AMA (March 11, 2025)

    Would there be a possibility to have an option to equilibrate the speakers so that the driver is in the center of the atmosphere staging as opposed to left front? Thank you

    3 weeks into my Lucid Air Touring Ownership Experience – love the car, absolutely hate the stereo.

    Suffering audiophile with the SSP system. I am admittedly crazy for admitting this but I subscribe to three streaming services: Spotify (because my kids demand that), Qobuz (because they have the best sound) and recently re-subscribed to Tidal for the Atmos albums through the native app in the...

    OTA Update 2.6.0

    Yes. Your notification will be a round dot next to the “settings” icon at the bottom of the lower screen. You will then need to accept the update and start it. It will happen over cellular but WiFi connau be faster depending on where you are. Good luck! I’m still waiting for mine.

    Open letter to Lucid after 7 months of ownership

    My hope with the SONOS article was to shed light on how a company with a higher market cap, work force still cannot manage to get their software right. Software to connect speakers to each other is the core of what Sonos does. That is why I bought their speakers. That said, the glitches that...

    Open letter to Lucid after 7 months of ownership

    I think that this article should provide most folks on this forum some perspective, insight and ideas. All they had to do is fix software in machines that have minimal moving parts. How hard can that be, right? Enjoy...

    Open letter to Lucid after 7 months of ownership

    Discounting and shipping etc is basic business strategy. Both of us aren’t aware of the inner decision making in the company. With limited resources in a household paying your rent and insurance first and not renewing the furniture does not mean you don’t care about what your house looks like...

    Open letter to Lucid after 7 months of ownership

    I want to say that I enjoyed reading this series of posts but it’s like eating a bag of chips: it starts good but in the end you feel nauseous. In my early days on this forum I vented about my experience acquiring the AGT and railed against the process. Mea maxima culpa. I now LOVE driving my...

    Play Dolby Atmos tracks in Surreal Sound Pro

    I tried Tidal for a few months and the pleasure of Atmos is countered by the poor UX of the app. Furthermore, the quality of the different Atmos albums is highly variable with some claiming to be such but no noticeable surround aspect to it. A few albums actually have a few songs in Atmos and...

    Continue and Persist

    That’s brilliant. Have you sent one to Peter at our favorite car company?

    CarPlay connectivity needs improvement.

    I couldn’t agree more. When people ask me whether I recommend the car, I tell them yes, for the hardware and the fun of the drive and an abject no for the software. I understand that you buy the car for what it does NOW and not for what it could do in the future as has been suggested, but...

    CarPlay connectivity needs improvement.

    Yes. Tried plugging it in the front two, each side (one usb A and the other usb C, with two different cables.

    CarPlay connectivity needs improvement.

    Will do. I am not sure that some of the quirks lie on Apple’s side: One of my annoyances was the continuation of music during a phone call. Now, I am not using it at all anymore and use the native Tidal app as well as phone interface. Still, I have that issue. In fact, there are now different...
