Linier Power Supply for Lumin

After doing a modest amount of online research, I thought I would turn to this group to obtain candid feedback regarding replacing the OEM SPS with a LPS on a Lumin U2 Mini. As you may know, Lumin does not use a LPS on all of their products. Currently, I am strongly considering the LHY Audio PSU LPS50VA bundle. 

Specifically, has anyone installed a LHY PSU kit on their U1, U2, T3, D1, D2 or D3? If so, is their a noticeable difference in overall sound quality? If you installed a different LPS on a Lumin product, was their a noticeable difference? Thank you in advance for sharing your experience and honest opinion,

Yes, by all means a linear power supply will make your tiny ear hairs happy. 😃 

just make sure you do the proper research on the correct linear power supply that you were going to hook up to your lumin.

gkelly  The LHY power supply with the internal board listed on their website was designed specifically for the Lumin products listed in my question. The LHY appears to be one of the few LPS’s with an additional filter that is mounted inside the Lumin player.

Couple of things I’m confused about

Best I can tell The U2 uses a regular IEC connection

Then there’s a thing of Mod pretty much blows up any warranty
