I don't think that's a good fit, but it depends on how you want to use the Luxsin.
With "only as a streamer" you mean you want to use the Mini as a transport only (music source only) and utilize the DAC of Luxsin, right?
If so, I don't think this is possible with the Mini. Since the Mini has no USB, I2S etc. outputs you would need to connect the Mini to the Luxsin via the RCA output connections and then the DAC of the Mini is used.
If this is fine for you you can set the output of the Mini to "fixed" this means the Mini is set to maximum volume output and you would control the volume only on the Luxsin. To me this seems to be kind of a waste of the Luxsin to utilize only the AMP section of the device and nothing else, but that's just my opinion. You could just get a dedicated headphone amp instead of the Luxsin.
If you want to fully utilize the Luxsin go for a simple streamer as suggested by the other replies.
