Lumin U1 vs Lumin U1 mini + sbooster?

mrcypruz, this is why I brought up the Bricasti M5. It sells for a little over two grand and with a possible discount even less.

If anyone is interested in a u1 mini modded to accept other ext PSUs besides sbooster I have a black one in great condition with a keces p8 PSU and ghent DC cable. I am in Canada but would consider shipping to usa. Hit me up if interested.
Gonna try an upgraded ethernet cable (custom made, cat8 with telegartner terminations) on it. I really want to try the uptone though.

I’ll probably opt for the Uptone JS 2 amp linear power supply with their Mac Kit. Comes to around a thousand. In the long run, I’ll probably purchase a Naim Uniti Core and add the JS 2 to that. It’s precarious given whether I can find the Naim second hand but I’m on that path.

I use the U1 mini with a Black Cat Tron and Bakoon DAC 21, and this combination is just so musical and delivers so much insight into the music with finesse.

I remember the days when audiophiles said redbook CD didn’t have high enough of a sampling rate. Who knew we just didn’t have the right equipment to see what it could really do.
