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 !

If you think you need a server, check out the Auralic, when I bought 1 many years ago, it sounded better than any Aurender or Lumin I had demoed. Also, DS Lightning software from Auralic is much better than the software from Lumin or Aurender. I got rid of the Auralic years ago and went with Roon with no need for a 3rd party server and the sq is better.

If you want a cheap server that delivers the sq and you get to use the DS Lightning software, look for a used Auralic Aries mini. Mine cost me < $500 when I bought mine new. I also sold that years ago.With Roon, I can use any number of endpoint devices
