Lumin U2 Mini

I was hoping to get user feedback on the Lumin U2 Mini. I currently have a Vault 2i and have really enjoyed it. The Lumin looks appealing to me for several reasons . I was hoping to find a server that would allow me to pull my Vault files through the network but it seems Bluesound is a closed ecosystem and doesn’t support UPnP . That said I noticed the Lumin has digital inputs . This would allow me to use anything in the Vault through the Lumin and my DAC 

I was also wondering how the Lumin app works compared to BluOS. Thanks !

I’m using the N200 with the excellent sounding LAB 12 DAC 1 Reference.   Great pairing.   I have until June to trade the LAB 12 toward something 2x as much, but honestly I think I’m going to keep it for a while.

Have you compared the Aurender (with dac) in your system standalone? I’m wondering how it’s integrated dac compares to your LAB 12 (or was it no contest)

Lumin U2 Mini $2,400

Lumin U1 Mini $1,400 or lower (Used)

It may be better but by how much.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. Anybody here who compared them both side-by-side? Or upgraded from U1 Mini to U2 Mini?
