New DAC or New Streamer or New Streamer/DAC

Curious what people would think is the biggest bang for the buck?

1)  Auralic Aries G1 Streamer with current Pass Labs D1 DAC (Aries would replace current Auralic Aries mini)
2)  Lumin T2
3)  Auralic Aries mini (I have this now) and Denafrips Terminator

All thoughts welcome.  Thanks

Get the Terminator first and break it in using the Mini and see what you think as you may be satisfied especially if you have added a LPS to the Mini. If not then later look for a deal on a used G1 or a Lumin U1 Mini.

I've owned the Mini, Aries Femto and now the G1.  Each one is a step up from the one below in sound quality.  So if your happy in the Lightning DS environment the G1 is a logical move.  The Lumin U1 Mini is also a great product from a really good company with top of the line support just a different software to get used to.
