Has anyone compared Lumin the U1 Mini to the U2 Mini?


What are your thoughts about the two? Is the sound quality that much better?  Is the price difference worth it?

The rest of the system is Denafrips Pontus ll > Hegel H390 > KEF Reference 5 speakers.

Thanks.

My take away is that the U-2 mini is a natural progression with some updates over the U-1 mini, which I already own. I don't feel it is necessary to run out and replace mine with the newer one. But for someone who doesn't own either, the U-2 makes perfect sense. And I can attest that the original sounds darn good.

 

Jason have you done any comparisons of servers and if so please give examples.  
 

I think even I could answer that question…..

I had a Node 2i before the Lumin and I think the U-1 was a very nice improvement. Using both with an external DAC of course.

 

If you wouldn't mind sharing offline where you found one at that price, I'd appreciate it. My son has a Node and is interested in upgrading.
