This is a very important question. I am asking myself the same. Using an U1 Mini. Can anyone from LUMIN hardware team answer this?
Not hardware team, but I'll answer this. Noise, if any, will be among the lowest among similar products - this is due to the display technology we chose. We don't find there is a noteworthy audible difference, but I've come across audiophiles or reviewer who really like to have it disabled.
Better yet, please have somebody else turn it off and on unbeknownst to you, do a blind test and tell me whether you hear a SQ difference.
(By the way, I know for a fact that a display panel COULD damage SQ. I had a faulty preamp that added a high pitch sound. The repair of that out-of-warranty preamp involved replacing the front panel module - for which I'm lucky because this turns out to be a standard part that can be easily purchased.)

Not sure if this was mentioned or exists....but for the people like me that use the Volume Control on the app...Can the Lumin App Team PLEASE add a feature that allows you to customize the volume max? so instead of 0-100 (default) ....how about user customization to 0-25 as an example? Thank You
Tell them I want it...a CUSTOMER! Do you know of a Lumin compatible app that has this?

Hi Peter. Hope you’re fine. Still enjoying very much my U1 Mini.
Any news about posts 1 and 2 ?
Hi everybody I have just aquired a Lumin A1 but I have some problems with the App.
I use it in a Samsung Note 3 tablet and the App you use to reset itself very often.
I have another problem.. the Lumin app is instaled in my tablet (Samsung Note 3) but when I go to Tidal my favourite albums they are showed alphabetically and I have no chance to change it to "..the last album added..."
I do not why I can not select this kind of sort in my Android tablet but one Friends has an iPad and he has this possibility of sort.
It seems that Lumin app in iPad have more filters or settings than on Android tablet.
Please let me know if there existe some way to apply this sort by "..last album added.."
Many thanks,

Dear Sir
I have a problem with the App that I will try to explain here below.
The Lumin app is instaled in my tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab 3) but when I go to Tidal then My Favourite Albums they are showed alphabetically by "Album title" and regretfully the App does not have the chance to change it to be sort by "..the last album added..."
I do not why I can not select this kind of sort in my tablet but one friends has an iPad and he has this possibility of sort.

Please let me know if there existe some way to apply this sort by "..last album added.." in my tablet.
I will be waiting for your responses.
Best Regards;

We'll improve the Android app gradually. If it does not work well enough for your needs, please try other compatible control points such as Bubble DS Next, Linn Kazoo, or get an iPad - which also gives you AirPlay (very useful).
Dear Peter, many thanks for your response.
I´ve instaled yesterday night Linn Kazoo in my Samsung Note 3 and it runs more fluently, more quick and during the night it has never restarted.
Anyway the thing is that this App does not have the sort that I´m just looking for by "..the last album added..."
I will keep searching but yesterday night I was not able to find this kind of sort on the App.
On the other hand when I go to Tidal Albums it does not show which one is MQA in the main screen.. you need to select and album go inside it and on that moment it indicates if it is MQA or not.
Any idea of when the Team will be improving the Android App with some new fixed firmware..?
Thanks,

@Fer1000
Let me ask.... Don't you have the last icon on the right?
I have used the app on many devices with no problems.

Yes the icons for Tidal, Sotify, Internet Radios and HDD are present... but one of the missing ones are the one to sort by "..last album added.."
I think it is the "star" in your picture.
I really nedd it..
Also it will be important to have some way to sort by "..artist name.." cause te only way to sort is by "..Album name.." hence if I´m searching for an artisit first I need to remember the album name which is difrficult.. it is more easy to know the artist or grop name than the album name usually.
As previously mentioned by me it seems that Android App is not totally completed and it has several missing functions than the IOS App..

So you are very lucky...!!!
I have a Samsung Tab 3 tablet and also a Samsung Galaxy S8 mobile an no one of them the Android App works properly or shows all the filters that you have in your pictures..
Let´s hope Lumin people present a new fix on the firmware to solve these problems.
Many thanks,

I'm not sure I totally understand, but if you press the artist tab, then type the artist name into the search/filter box, it will only show albums by that artist.
Regarding the 'last added' icon. Peter will know more, but my understanding is that this is feature of some server software and not others. It's definitely supported by MinimServer. It's also definitely supported on the LUMIN App for Android as I use it frequently (Google Pixel 2).
I will try to explain better....
In Lumin App I select "TIDAL" ... then My "favourite Albums" and the problem is that all the Albums are mixed.
I can not see the "last ones added"... and I don´t have this button active.
On the the other hand I don´t have either the possibilty to index them by "artist" and they appear in the screen all mixed with no chance for sorting in this way.
Really I don´t know in my Samsung Tab 3 tablet and my Samsung Galaxy S8 the App goes very slow, also it use to restart itself a lot of times (very often) and the worst is there are no filters in the screen to be applied.
Yesterday I have tried with a LG mobile (from a friend) and it happens the same. After Lumin App instalation no filter for "..last album added.." appeared.
Let hope Peter can help and they create a new update for Android app.
Many thanks

Ah - I didn't realise you were inside TIDAL. That's a completely different kettle of fish 
We rely on the TIDAL API to provide us with functionality and I'm not sure 'sorting' is available. Peter will know more.
The tab icons shown in this image, don't apply to TIDAL, only local network servers and, like I said above I think the icons shown are dependent on the server being used, not the app.
So for example, using MinimServer, when you add a new album to your server folder, you can sort your whole music library by 'last added'. The filter then becomes a date search where you can search for data relevant to the date added, for example searching for 2018 will show all albums added to your server in 2018.
