    Is there a way to have my U1 stream Apple and Amazon HD music ?
    My Lumin U1 option page only offers Tidal and Qobuz.

    Thank you.
    Via Airplay, yes for Apple Music and probably/maybe with Amazon. Keep in mind Airplay isn't bit perfect streaming.
    In the Lumin app, turn on Lumin streaming.

    I'm assuming you know how to select an airplay destination on your phone or tablet.

    I stream Amazon HD music using Airplay. I think Peter said somewhere else that with the volume on the Apple device (iPad etc) turned to 100% it will be a bit perfect stream.

    I'm pretty sure Airplay's top sample rate is 24/48 so anything higher on Apple Music or AmazonHD is downsampled.
    I've read about testing that shows streaming lossless 16/44.1 files via Airplay is device dependent as far as bit perfect playback but Lumin is quite possibly one of those devices.

    Thank you all for helping me out. Yes, AirPlay does work and allows me to use my U1 to stream Apple Music, YouTube and Amazon Music.
