Just got a Lumin U1 Mini with the upgraded external SBooster power supply. Wanted to see if streaming was for me The external power supply is a must. .So far pretty pleased. Running it thru a PS Audio DSD with an Orchid AES/EBU Cable and using Qobuz as my streaming source. I still prefer Vinyl, good CDs and SACDs for sound and imaging but the U1 Mini is fun and make it easy to look for new music. At some point I will probably drop some serious $$$$ for a more serious streamer but for now, it is a good entry point. Checked out Bel Canto and Cambridge and a few others. Preferred the sound of the U1 Mini. The Lumin app take some getting used but will do for now.
What are you using as a streamer? Constructive feedback please.
Wondering what improvements I can made to my streaming end and what you all are using.
Not looking to rip CDs and I mostly listen to vinyl.
System right now is:
Node 2 (latest version used streaming only with Roon)
Bel Canto e.One ref DAC 2.7
Bel Canto e.One ref CD3t Transport.
Bel Canto e.One ref 501S (best Class D to date to ever grace my system)
Mini GaN 5 ( had to try it and swap it in and out)
AM Qualiton X200 Tube Integrated (love it and gets most use)
QLN Prestige 5 Speakers.
All cables and wires are Signal Cable.
Appreciate the constructive feedback.
Have a great day.
