A good news update:
I was able to obtain the beta firmware that supports MQA functionality for the U1. The firmware installation process went very smoothly, and I am now able to stream Tidal Hifi Masters album in their full sonic glory (up to the limits of the 96khz sampling rate for my Mac D1100 DAC). The sound quality is fantastic! From a sonic perspective, the improved dynamic range, breadth of the sound-stage, and overall transparency reminds me very much of my old DVD-Audio discs. Thanks to the Lumin team for their great work so far on this beta firmware upgrade.
