Lumin D2 - Late the Table


I'm a hard core old school guy just coming around to digital and am in need of some advice.  I'd like to get into streaming and am looking at the Lumin D2.  As the unit stands you must have a hard wired connection to the internet for it to work.  I've read that there are work arounds to enable the D2 to connect to a WiFi network.  Is this true, and if so how is it done?  I have no stand alone DAC so I would be connecting the D2 to my ARC LS 27 preamp.  Aside from my stand alone CD player (Ayre C5MPxe), this will be my first venture into digital.  From a plug and play perspective the BlueSound 2i maybe a better fit but given the rest of my system (ARC 150 monos feeding Wilson WP 6) I'd like to start higher up the fidelity ladder.

@cmcdaniel5 definitely as willgolf says, if you can afford it then one of the higher-tier Lumin streaming DACs will get you farther up the fidelity ladder you're looking to climb.
The Apple Express (802.11b) is not as reliable for music transport versus something that can support 802.11g/n/ac.
You need a Wi-Fi extender/bridge with Ethernet output. The least expensive ones are about $20.

You don't need to use Mesh.
