Lumin Hifi Rose or Aurender


I am looking for a new streamer (with no dac) and streamer with a dac and would prefer to stay with one brand.  Have it narrowed down to Lumin, Hifi Rose or Aurender.  I need spotify connect and access to tidal.

I will spend in the 4 to 6K for the Steamer and 3-5K for the streamer Dac

I have a Berkeley alpha dac 3 that the streamer will feed in system one which is a higher end system mcintosh C22 into a MC462 with Harbeth 40.3 XD speakers.

The streamer dac is for a second system which is more middle of the road.  Mcintosh MA6500 with Totem Forest Signature speakers.

I do streaming only and don't have no need for drive storage.

Love to here your thoughts

@efoo I currently have a Lumin U2 mini with an upgraded power supply.  I have had the D2 and P1 as well.  Also have owned  an Aurilac G2 streamer.  If you like the Lumin sonically, really hard to beat.  They are dedicated to building streamers and Streamer / DAC combos and that’s it.  The parent company is in the professional / commercial audio / video space.  Great App which is really important, update and upgrade their software regularly.  My U2 mini is outstanding, I would assume the U2 steps things up further.  They’re all in one solutions like the T3 are really tough to beat as well.  I loved both the D2, step below and P1, step above the T3.  
 

Good Luck,
