Replace Macbook into Oppo with Lumin T2 for streamer/DAC?


I’m currently using Qobuz on a Macbook Pro (via USB) into an Oppo 105D as a makeshift DAC/streamer combo. The Lumin T2 seems like a significant step up as a DAC/streamer. I’d appreciate any advice on the upside or downside of the Lumin T2.
I understand there are many other DAC/streamer/server/ripper options available. I’m specifically interested in feedback on the Lumin T2 with Qobuz. Cheers.

I have owned a T2 for a little over two years. It has performed flawlessly and the sound quality it provides is what I like: very good tone, soundstaging and detail without sounding analytical. I have used the LUMIN app but I am a Roon man so that supersedes use of the app, which took me about a day to master and is more than adequate.The only tweaks I did are Herbie’s footers and an audioquest monsoon power cord. Previous to the LUMIN, I used a Mac mini and it’s an understatement to say it was a step up when I went with the LUMIN. I am a Qobuz user And I could easily hear the sonic differences between that service and Tidal while the Lumin lets you hear more into the recording as the resolution numbers climb with the Qobuz stream
