If you are running the LUMIN’s analog out into the Anthem, you could try the SPDIF out or USB out, and set the streamer to “pass through” the digital signal to get a very similar experience to the U1 MinI or U1.
Ditching Lumin T2 - Lumin U1 Mini or Bluesound Node 2i
Live and you learn. I love this streamer, BUT, I'm not convinced I'm getting the most from it's excellent DAC because my Anthem STR is converting the signal back to digital (for subwoofers and ARC) then reconverting using the Anthem's DACs.
The Anthem does sound excellent mind you! But I really wanted the pure Lumin sound and there's no way to not double process the signal if I want to use subs or ARC.
So now the question is...... Would a Lumin U1 mini (streamer only) really be that much better than a Bluesound Node 2i just for streaming?
I do like BluOS better than Lumin's app but I also use Roon which is love/hate.
