I think the level of streamer you buy depends on your system. Having just recently demoed Innuos and MSB products the SQ was way above any CD player I have heard.
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 !

Agree @woots The SQ of streaming from the internet is quickly approaching CDs or local files. And in my system, streaming local files has always beat out the sound of a CD from a transport into the same DAC. |

I didn't have to spend a dollar to beat my Oppo 205 w/ OppoMod LPS. My built in PS Audio Bridge II card on the DS DAC bettered it. But it takes time, research and some networking prowess to get streaming to sound 'right'. Sure, you will undoubtedly dump some money into networking but far less than a quality CDP. |
My U2 Mini arrived 2 days ago and I'm having no issues with the Lumin app on Android. I believe that they did have issues when first released which pretty much kept me away. No desire to to purchase an Apple product just for the streamer. Happy to report that that is a thing of the past. I do like the BlueOS better. The Lumin app is good Like Fynnegan says, one has to bother to learn how to use it :^) |
