Lumin U1 vs Lumin U1 mini + sbooster?

I'm using the mini with an Uptone JS-2.

It's grounded with an Olympus minimus.

And I use a Black Cat Tron digital cable.

It's absolutely fabulous. I'm sure the U1 is even better, or maybe a DCS bridge, but the mini in this setup is so good, I don't even care.

For anyone looking to get a mini, pick one up at the current used prices and you can't go wrong.

I agree, the mini is almost unbeatable for the money and a few tweaks/upgrades can go a long way. 
As long as you’re happy, that’s what matters the most - it’s reasonable and fair to not care (and your wallet will be safe).

 I was just sharing another upgrade path for the U1 (not mini) owners to make another leap forward on the performance of that already awesome streamer.

A T2 sounds good but it’s dac is not even close to say a Denafrips terminator, or Holo springs kre May dac ,that can be plugged in 
at a later date ,my friend has the terminator it destroys the inner dac in theT2

Mike at Audio Arcon does the Sbooster upgrade and doesnot void the warrant 
You get discount on the Lumin ,not the booster and maybe a $50:charge.
I prefer a Good external dac much much better  . 

Amazing thread. Essentially no references to music. Just many unfounded opinions masquerading as facts.
