No experience with Lumin or Aurender. However I will say that the post by lalitk mentioning the questionable thought process of OP wanting to upgrade his streamer but staying with the McIntosh dac is something worth paying attention to. FYI I use Innuos ZENith mk3 streamer with Gustard X26 PRO Dac. And many more upgrades such as master clock, ethernet switch, optical isolation and expensive cables. Good luck in your upgrade path.
Lumin U2 vs Aurender N200
I’m looking to upgrade my streamer from a Bluesound Node 2i. My DAC is the module that comes in the McIntosh MA 8950.
I curious about others experience with these two streamers. How they may differ.
currently I’m using Tidal but would change it SQ could be improved. I thing the interface with the Node is decent.
Thanks for any feedback.
