I have heard both the Lumin and Mytek products in my system and both are worthy contenders. I think I preferred the Lumin (it was a D1) by a small margin. You won’t go too wrong either way but I like the simplicity and ease of setup of the Lumin better.
Lumin D2 or Mytek Brooklyn Bridge for Tidal, Quboz
Hi folks,
I am considering upgrading from my Node 2 for streaming Tidal or Quboz. Right now I do not have a separate dac and I use the Node 2's dac. Does anyone have any experience with both the Lumin D2 and Mytek Brooklyn Bridge and can give their opinions in regards to sound quality between the two? Or should I just get a separate dac and feed the Node 2 into that? I do like the one box solution though. Thanks for your thoughts.

Petware; in a nutshell, the Sabre chips are perceived as brighter and livelier while the Wolfson's are thought to be warmer and more musical. This is a generalization that not everyone agrees with and the common wisdom is that the overall implementation and analogue sections of the DAC's can have at least as much effect on the overall perceived tonality. |
Listen to the Sabre chips from the guys who know those chip better than anyone else,
https://www.resonessencelabs.com/ , they helped design the chips. I have only heard the Mirrus DAC and it is amazing. Not bright at all, an amazingly detailed but also relaxing sound. |
