Chord Qutest with the Lumin U1 Mini VS Lumin T2


Just wanted to ask for your advice on streaming devices for those that are familiar with the Lumin brand.

My system consists of a Macbook Pro and a Chord Qutest connected to my Mcintosh MA352 (using Roon).

Here are my questions:

Would switching my Macbook Pro to a Lumin Streamer be a significant upgrade?

If so, would it be better for me to keep the Qutest DAC and just add the Lumin U1 Mini or should i just discard the Qutest and go for the Lumin T2? 

Has anyone tried this combination? If so which sounds better?

Thanks in advance!

I think you would likely be quite happy with ether option.  I've never heard a U1 Mini with a Qutest, but I would imagine it's likely a nice combo. 

The T2 is quite good.
