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 !

Maybe give Innuos a call, tell them you’re interested in their streamers and ask them how you can most effectively get your stored music into their server. Best to go right to the source, and their customer service has a good rep.

In this case I wouldn’t worry about a lateral move — it’s a solid bet either the Lumin or Innuos will provide significant sonic benefits you’ll hear immediately.  Did you load any CDs into the Vault?  I’ve got a lot of CDs I love that will likely never be available to stream and I have several “audiophile” CDs I’m going to buy that also will likely never make it to stream as well so for those reasons I find the server function very valuable.  But that’s me.  It’s awesome that you can audition a piece at home!  Now if you only had a good Lumin dealer nearby…

I’d recommend taking a look at the Innuos Zen Mk3 that’s about the same price as the Lumin, but like the Vault it has an onboard disk drive and server. Also, their Sense app by all accounts sounds fantastic and they provide very good customer support. Not sure why you’d wanna choose the Lumin over this coming from a Vault. FWIW and best of luck.
