Lumin U2 or Aurender N200

Looking for thoughts on these two streamers: Lumin U2 and Aurender N200.

I’m fully aware of the limitations and features from UI and Roon integration to design concepts and implementation (power supplies, caching, display, etc.)


Hoping to hear from those who had compared these two streamers. I’m also absolutely not interested in hearing from “it’s all 1s and 0s” crowd - this isn’t that forum and I kindly ask you to please stay out of this discussion.

Thanks and Happy Holidays to you all!!!

I was hoping to demo a Lumen and that didn’t work out.   Have heard a lot of positive things about the hardware and SQ.    
 

I bought a N200 and have zero regrets , it is a great machine

I will echo how great Aurender support is.    These are basically computers so support is key.  Aurender can correct some issues over the network.   

I was having an issue with internet radio stations and they took care of it remotely.

Enjoy !    If you go into the Aurender menu there is a tab for it to scan the drive(s) for new content.   In my experience it did a great job on the files I had on my SSD.    I copied a bunch of stuff from my Vault's drive and the Aurender filled in the missing Meta Data.

It may take a few times.  I do have several titles that were done on a certain CD ripper that it just recognizes the artist/tracks but overall it cleaned things up a bit.

There is also a utility to “mount” your computer to the Aurender , that worked well when I copied a hard drive to the N200
