The Lumin App is fantastically intuitive and easy to use.
You won’t fail to be impressed by the sound quality from the Lumin U1 Mini.But the bass… oh the bass! The Lumin U1 Mini reproduced the very deepest organ notes pitch-perfectly and with true authority.
Superb execution. Flawless sound. Fantastic app
2020/21 ROAST AWARDS

Network Product of the Year
Four of the largest online German-speaking publications (areadvd.de, av-magazin.de, lite-magazin.de and modernhifi.de) have again chosen their smart technology products of the year in 2020.
The Judges’ Comment states:
If your hi-fi system still has some catching up to do in the digital sector and simple streaming is not enough to meet your requirements, Lumin provides exactly the right solution with the high-quality U1 Mini. Visually, the streaming transport is beyond any doubt and impresses with its elegant design and high material quality. The variety of connections means there is plenty of choice and, thanks to the compact dimensions of the U1 Mini, it can be combined with any type of hi-fi system. In addition, the streamer is compatible with a wide variety of file formats and of course has a heart for HiRes files.

HI-FI KNIGHTS
December 2018
U1 MINI sang like a fully flourished and mature product free from trade-offs associated with its price.
The quality leap from my daily driver to Lumin’s petite box was severe.
For the money it doesn’t get any better than this.

What all Lumin systems have in common is their great streaming platform, which is controlled by one of the best current apps.
…simply reproduces with great neutrality what information is contained in the files.
Lumin concentrates on the essentials with the U1 Mini and gets everything right.
HI-FI CHOICE POLAND
December 2018
With Lumin, music is always put first
I would describe it as a very musical, natural sounding transport, but at the same time precise, resolving, extracting a huge amount of information from each recording.
This is a great product!

the whole remained coherent and proportional, there were absolutely no distortion
U1 Mini is an almost ideal solution for all DAC users from a very broad price spectrum
I would warmly recommend to start your search from this modest transport
