Lumin U1/U2 versus T3

Currently using a T3 and out of curiosity demo'd a PS Audio Direct Stream MK 1 DAC. The PSA dac definitely improved my system and my question is, will the U1 or U2 be a substantial or noticeable improvement over the T3. Not ruling out a PS Audio Airlens as a streamer either using I2S. Currently I'm using spdif out of T3 to DAC via BNC.

@audphile1 USB is input for external hard drive.  Digital output is spdif.

Can't use USB due to T3 can only use spdif out.

I meant to add is the U1 still relevant or recommended as I know it's a bit older.

Did you consider the Airlens?

Have a U1 on the way.  Couldn't pass up the opportunity at the price they were asking so pulled the trigger.  Looks like USB more than likely will be in the future.  Thanks for the information Audphile1
