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 think the Bluesound streamer and OS are a great starting point in this adventure of streaming. The Lumin is a very nice device as is the Aurender it boils down to your preferences and what you want to get out of your streaming experience. I also think your DAC is a very good DAC and would stick with it. Love your kit. |
@oddiofyl Which Dig connection are you using with N200, Spdif or USB? Cable Brand? |
I didn’t really give USB a fair shake and have it connected to my headphone amp for now via USB with a generic 2.0 cable. I’m thinking of getting the DH Labs Mirage USB cable and revisiting. I have a suspicion that the Aurender’s clock outperforms the Lab 12’s clock and that’s why I like the Coax connection |
@thyname U2 mini is a huge leap over U1 mini. Granted, I’ve only run them with linear power supplies. I modified the units and disconnected the internal SMPS. |
