What's wrong with your Bluesound Node 2i?
I will bet if you do a blind test and compare all three, you might not be able to detect much of a difference. I would be curious if the dealer told you, you were listening to either the Lumin or Aurender but were in fact listening to the Bluesound Node 2i, what you might say? I could be wrong because I was not able to hear either the Lumen or Aurender when I purchased my Bluesound Node 2i. One thing I like about the Bluesound is to be able to listen to the complete unfold of MQA. Can't understand why I can hear the difference when playing MQA? Wish I knew more about this. I certainly do not understand the attraction for vinyl when you can stream hi-res on a streamer and not have to get out of your chair.
