Aurender A10 vs Teac NT505 vs Lumin T2

Any thoughts out there on how these compare? I am looking for MQA, so that is a must, these all do it. I don’t care about Roon or differences in the interface (they all would work fine for me), just looking for best sound quality. I will use it for internal Tidal streaming and either the internal storage or USB stick for my own files.  They all do it.

Any input is appreciated!

I had them both. All depends on the rest of your setup. What gear are you using?

Loved the micro detail of the Lumin T2 but in my system it was just a little too much of a good thing.  The Aurender A10 sounded a little boring after hearing the Lumin but was listenable long term
Got  rid of both and have a Cary DMS 600 and have best of both worlds. Great player. The Lumin was much harder to sell than the Aurender A10 but that was 6 mos ago and the market has changed. The A10 has been out for over 3 years and prices have dropped considerably
if your system can use a little sparkle the Lumin would be my choice
if it is already leaning towards the brighter side of neutral I would look at something else.
