I have had Blusound, Auralic, and presently Lumin. I like them all and for me it boils down to familiarity. All were a bit tricky the first day, but after a few Google and YouTube hits I mastered them all.
BluOS Node vs Auralic software (or other streamer)
I've been through many streamers (BS node 2i, Lumin T2 (best), Lumin U1 mini, Bryston BDP).. I LOVE the BluOS software and growing sick of Roon for various reasons.
While I think the Lumin products are "better" I'm not 100% sure that I heard a notable difference in streaming alone (forget the dacs). I will be using a Denafrips Ares ii dac so this is just for streaming.
If I like BluOS better than Roon, do you think Auralics software matches up?
Any other new stand alone streamers I should be considering that would be an audible upgrade with good software?
When you google anything compared to Blusound you get TONS of off-topic hits.
