Lumin u1 or Aurender N10

I'm debating between a Lumin U1 or an Aurender N10 streamer. Both are streamers with NO DAC. anyone would like to share their thoughts between the two brands ( SQ and App usage) thanks to all.

I was already leaning towards the Aurender and sharing your experience has only confirmed what i already suspected. will keep you posted as soon as i have it in the system.

Aurender neutrality and decay looks more logic to go for my system's synergy.

bigbuj OP Details Discussions Posts This discussion Message User 6 posts 04-30-2022 at 01:46pm Copy Comment URL Report Comment Edit Delete so i finally ordered an Aurender N10 8TB Black unit. I am receiving it sometimes this week. I will do a comparison with my Bryston BDP-3 and i'll keep you posted with my opinion. Nevertheless I will sell the BDP-3 unit afterwards because i just got tired on the Tidal integration with the Manic Moose software from Bryston. Good Weekend to you all !!

It was a used model owned by 1 previous audiophile. Got the unit through The Music Room website. Transaction and delivery went smoothly. So overall , i am really happy about my decision going with this Aurender N10 over my Bryston BDP-3 Transport Streamer. The App for Aurender is clearly better than Bryston’s especially for Tidal Integration usage. Soundwise , it is not a night and day difference but the Aurender does have more Authority in the lower spectrum , Superb and sharp Decay , Control and precision (I’m using AES/ABU). Thanks to everyone for their inputs. My system is : Bryston 14B3 Amp Simaudio Moon 740P Preamp + 820S External Power Supply Aurender N10 Transport Streamer EmmLabs DAC2X V2 DAC Kef Reference 5 Speakers Audioquest Niagara 5000 Power Conditionner Audioquest Hurricane Power Cords for every components Audioquest Earth Interconnects Audioquest Oak Speaker Cables
