Thanks for the review link to 6moons. I cannot concentrate to read the review directly at 6moons because of the type set, layout and god awful graphic design choices. For the X1 it was worth the CTRL + C and CTRL + V to transpose the pages into something easier to read. Once finished the read there'll be comments. Then again these guys go over the moon sometimes.

Good to know it's not "just me."

This article from a Hong Kong web site has a lot of photos showing the internals of the Lumin (class AB) AMP (google translate):

Here's a review of the SQ - note that the google mis-translation "(drum) is really dead" should be "to die for":

Please ask your dealer for promotion deal of Lumin X1 + AMP.

Wow,,, the Lumin amp IS "to die for" both inside and out - quite stunning design.

Also, but obviously, somehow the large transformer is termed a "ring cow" in the translation.

And Sbooster is not even the best psu you can use with your U1 Mini!

Interested. Which is "best", please.

The consensus on this forum seems to be that Paul Hynes SR7 is one of the very best and practically unobtainable power supply. No doubt a 12V version of it would be great with the U1 Mini.

Then how about the best obtainable, or at one definitely better than the SBooster?

Check this:

I think the U1 Mini needs at least 3A 12V.

Thanks!

NFrom HiFi Shark forum:

“You may insert a USB thumb drive to either USB 1 or 2 position. You can play files this way. However, browsing is slower and is restricted to folder view, unlike using MinimServer. If you also use USB output to DAC, i.e. reading USB thumb drive and outputting to USB DAC, there will be sample rate limitations due to the nature of USB.

Peter Lie, Lumin Firmware Lead”

Unfortunately it appears that this info  translates to “count me out” regarding the U1 Mini since I use a USB HD (LPSU powered) exclusively to feed my DAC.
