Lumin U1 vs Lumin U1 mini + sbooster? I agree, the mini is almost unbeatable for the money and a few tweaks/upgrades can go a long way. As long as you’re happy, that’s what matters the most - it’s reasonable and fair to not care (and your wallet will be safe). I was just sharing anoth... | |
Lumin U1 vs Lumin U1 mini + sbooster? So the U1 Mini + S Booster finally found a new home, I though I would use it on my secondary rig but after getting used to the U1, there’s no way back to the Mini.I’ve upgraded the power supply on my the U1 to the X1 power supply and the leap was ... | |
Lumin U1 vs Lumin U1 mini + sbooster? I can confirm that the U1 Mini mod is straight forward and relatively simple. I would recommend getting a used unit here on Audiogon or even my already modded unit (Lol) and not worry about warranty. I agree with all the tweaks being discussed her... | |
Lumin U1 vs Lumin U1 mini + sbooster? Out of all the tweaks you mentioned, the only I didn’t do was to ground the U1 Mini. Now imagine if you do the same to the U1, you’ll surely pull even further ahead of the U1 Mini.Btw, that Black Cat Tron digital cable is the same price as the U1 ... | |

Lumin U1 vs Lumin U1 mini + sbooster? @jimmy2615 I’m glad that you got a chance to try the U1, and your impressions give me a sense of sanity check. You described the differences between the two units in a more simplistic yet better way and easier to understand your observations. I a... | |
Lumin U1 vs Lumin U1 mini + sbooster? I got a deal from a friend. You can always call Upscale Audio to ask for a deal, they usually give me deals when I call them instead of just placing an order online. | |
Lumin U1 vs Lumin U1 mini + sbooster? @jimmy2615 thanks and you’re welcome.I did the comparisons both on my speakers and headphones rigs, twice on each rig, using the U1 & U1 Mini (U1M) Coaxial BCN & USB outputs.Below are both my speakers and headphones rigs for reference.Spea... | |
Lumin U1 vs Lumin U1 mini + sbooster? @steakster thanks again for the kind words. That’s what all online audio forums should be about, share our experiences, learn from each other, rejoice with constructive discussions, indulge in the music and spread love that the world seems to lack... | |
Lumin U1 vs Lumin U1 mini + sbooster? We’re good! 🤝Awesome, I’ll be on the lookout for your review of your system and a comparison of the stock U1 Mini vs U1 Mini+Keces P8 PS.I think the S Booster is widely known and very popular because it’s the most recommended upgrade by most LUMIN... | |
Lumin U1 vs Lumin U1 mini + sbooster? I think the implication here is quite obvious that ’hey man what I did is better than what you did... your setup is just more distortion, my setup is better’. If that is not your implication then thats cool, but thats what I got from your post. An... | |
Lumin U1 vs Lumin U1 mini + sbooster? It’s just amazing how you give a twist to everything I said to make it sound erroneous. When I use the words “could be” or “might be” you proceed to give examples with “is”...and then when I suggest you to avoid making absolute claims with “is” yo... | |
Lumin U1 vs Lumin U1 mini + sbooster? I just need to clarify that I didn’t state that the DI20HE increases noise and interference, I said that it could be possible that the perceived improvements were due to additional distortion and/or noise/interference.Additionally, I don’t need va... | |
Lumin U1 vs Lumin U1 mini + sbooster? I don’t have any experience with the DI20HE and never claimed to have, as I never heard it. I shared my thought a d the reasoning behind without making any claims. I also said that I was actually happy that you found it a great solution for your s... | |
Lumin U1 vs Lumin U1 mini + sbooster? Thanks for the thorough explanation. I did understand your initial post.The difference between our takes is that I have had first hand experience with both U1 and U1 Mini+ S Booster and shared my experience on the perceived differences between the... |
