Anomaly between my Lumin U1Mini and my DAC

[Jack]

Neko I know you think as a Lumin dealer you are trying to help but if you guys don't start ignoring him he won't stop. In his year as a member here he has only commented in the Lumin section and the vast majority of his posts are complaints about things he didn't bother to research in advance of his purchase. He doesn't really want help he just wants his way and to complain. He obviously doesn't have anything else to do. Lumin makes great products but their operation and software may not be for everyone and every situation and that's why there are choices. If after a year a "normal" person was as unhappy with a piece of gear as he appears to be they would have sold or traded it and moved on.

I'm simply trying to steer you in the direction of asking Sony

Yeah I know, thanks for your time
I sent them an email. I will see what they have to say
Anyways I hope this can be solved, either by Lumin or by Sony

I'm glad you are trying to do everything you can to make both products function the way you expect. The reality is that they may never communicate exactly the way you want them to or to simply display something that you want to see. Thankfully, both products are rather inexpensive, the U1 mini is Lumin's least expensive player and resale is quite good on them. I would suggest that you simply sell it and move on, hopefully the next player will make you happy.

Just for your information. The Lumin U1 Mini is in my basement and I am trying to sell it.
I bought an Auralic Aries G1 and it worked perfectly with my headphone amp.
Meaning the signal sent is the one received by the Sony.
While it is hard to make a difference in Sound Quality, I have a feeling that it is clearer and more enjoyable.
The Aries permits embedded EQ if necessary, meaning for listening without Roon for example.
The display is nice with covert art if chosen by the user. It can be text as well or simply off.
Also the Aries permits me also to use Wifi and to get rid of many cables.
Aries has built in IR receiver and can get remote control signal without sacrificing a usb socket.
It is simply a better value for a price not much higher.
I much regret my Lumin purchase. I should have more research before buying it.
And this is my last post I have nothing to do more here.

The WiFi functionality will negatively impact sound quality, but glad you finally got something the way that works for you.
