Lumin U1MINI

Of it's "major" competitors only Auralic has wireless. Aurender, Innuos, PS Audio, Esoteric, Teac, etc are all wired only. I don't count Bluesound which is wireless as a serious competitor.

What model of Tp-Link? Archer T9UH would be good ?

T9UH would not work with a Lumin product, as a it's a USB WiFi adapter.

For Lumin, you need a Wireless to Ethernet (not USB) converter, which is provided by WiFi extender as Jack suggested, or some (not all) routers in WiFi client mode.

The Lumin U1 Mini is the best transporter in the world. That is a fact. It's still curious, why it's not wireless, especially it's made primarily for streaming services...very strange...All its competitors have this facility ....

Interesting that you proclaim this as fact while Lumin continues to offer the U1 at nearly three times the price. The original Lumin U1 clearly provides a higher level of performance, while the U1 Mini is a lower cost alternative.
 
For my needs, it's the best. Sorry I did not explain well. English is not my native language, so I'm making mistakes. The correct approach is: U1 and U1 Mini are the world's best transport network, in my opinion.:)

Thanks for your clarification, and I certainly didn't intend any offense about your language skills (I wouldn't even attempt to communicate in your native tongue, you're doing very well with English!) Look forward to your continued participation here at AudioShark, and a warm welcome to you! :hi:
 
Thank you .
Next week I will order Lumin U1 Mini. And a WiFi extender. It is more convenient for me not to stretch cables in the whole house.:rolleyes:
I will have to find a dealer in Germany or U.K. because there is no Lumin dealer in Romania
I am surprised that no trader wanted to bring the best products in the world ...
And there are a lot of audiofiles here....
 
I have just taken delivery of a Lumin U1 Mini. It replaces an Ultrarendu and Singxer SU6, both with linear PSUs. The Ultrarendu in turn replaced an SOTM trifecta.

Cold and straight out of the box, the U1 Mini is a small but noticeable improvement over the Ultrarendu/Singxer. I had both plugged directly into my Chord M Scaler and TT2, so I could switch between them to compare. I tried toslink, BNC and USB, although mainly use toslink since this sounds best in my DAC.

The difference is small, but the U1 Mini removes a small amount of “haze” around voices and instruments, and the background is just a little blacker and cleaner. I am hoping that difference increases with burn in.

Of course I am immediately thinking of replacing the internal SMPS with a linear PSU. But it sounds great as it is, and I like the idea of a single box (one reason I decided to replace my 4 boxes with the Mini), so may have to resist the idea unless there is evidence it is a real improvement.

It’s early days but so far I am very happy with the U1 Mini.

Yes, please burn it in for 7x24. Many Chord users reported positively with a Lumin U1 (MINI) too.
 
Here is my Lumin U1 mini with this cable of 30 euros and do not see how good it makes it sound.
Fine smooth detailed and with a little more body.


 
I'd be certain at its price that the "Accuphase" 40th Anniversary power cable is a fake from China, eBay is full of them. It looks very nice and may perform well for the money but don't fool yourself into thinking it actually comes from Accuphase.

Hi, I know it's a FAKE but what matters is that the cable does it good synergy with Lumin.The construction is magnificent.
 
Do any of you realize that Accuphase never made any power cables? meaning theyre ALL fake
 
Hi, just read the entire thread 'cause my... mini is on its way to me in... Italy.
Let me ask some info, please:

a) what is the "ground screw" at rear? I mean... are there some tips or better some advices how to connect it? (SQ is what it matters!)
b) I have not understood well: may I insert a "dongle usb" (where? at 1 or 2 position?) with some files and can I stream it with the Lumin App like I will do normaly with my NAS and Minimserver on it?

Thanks and sorry for my English.

L.
