Is the Mytek Brooklyn Bridge or Lumin D2 good buys in 2021?

...only because we’re so close to 2021.

I just bought both devices, have them running direct to Elac Navis ARF-51’s (which are amazing btw).  Both devices sound good, are close in price, and have similar functionality (yes the BB has more ins).  
Display on the Lumin is straight out of 2012, Mytek‘s is not much better.  Mconnect is absolute trash, while the Lumin app is decent.  Really like the physical volume knob of the Mytek, overall aesthetics, and WiFi connectivity.

Both are dated devices.  Are either of these devices good buys in 2021?  If so, which one? What about service life?

@helloitsben, re: Roon, it runs on top of Tidal. I am a longtime Tidal user and still love the service. But run Roon on top of it and you’ll rarely ever find a need to use the Tidal app again. 
I use a LUMIN U2 mini as a streamer and a Brooklyn DAC+ as my pre and it’s an excellent combo. Separating the streamer from the DAC gives you more options in the long run.
