any suggestions on what to replace Bluesound Node 2i with

I am doing a major upgrade on my home theater system. I want to upgrade my streamer. I can spend around $4500 if I have to. My dealer played a Lumin T2 and the music, Tidal, sounded amazing. He said I would be okay with the D2 if I wanted to save money
Any one have any experience with the the Lumin's. I am open to other streamers, it does not have to be Lumin. Thanks

@galleybob you could look for a local Lumin dealer and ask if you could bring your Node 2i over to compare, or to borrow a T2 to try at home. I'm pretty confident you will find the T2 sounds significantly better than the Node 2i. And the T2 is a huge improvement over the D2.

@cissado and @galleybob one option to explore would be to use Roon and DSP filters with the Lumin T2, as an alternative to Anthem Room Correction.

My understanding of ARC, based on Anthem's online documentation, is that you would be able to replicate the functionality using one or more of Roon's PEQ, Convolution, and Speaker filters. However you would need to perform the measurements and calculate the desired filter parameters yourself using something like Room EQ Wizard and a measurement microphone.
