Lumin U1 Still Relevant??

Greetings to those "in the know,"

Is the Lumin U1 still relevant as a benchmark streamer since the introduction of the new U2 Mini? I'm in the market for a streamer, and my head is spinning! Aurender is in the mix, but I have heard mixed reviews on the N200. I'm open to any recommendation up to $7500. The U1 is approaching six years old, and I question the technology improvements we have had since then. 

Thanks!!

If you use Roon extensively, Aurrender is out of equation. You might consider the Innous as well.

u2 mini is a replacement for u1 mini not the u1. Just to differentiate between the two, the U1 and U1/U2 mini are quiet different. The U1 is substantially better hardware than the mini version and has a better power supply which is more critical in digital application. I doubt the u2 mini will beat the u1, though a direct replacement for u1 with a u2 could be imminent.
