Think ill just go with a lumin

Starting out anew. reading all of the post into the wee evening hours, and getting more and more confused, I think I may just get a Lumin DAC/streamer combo. D2 or T2 i suppose, maybe an S1 if i can find one a little cheaper and I scrimp and save a little more.

My situation is rebuilding from scratch, so waiting for pieces to come together. Going with a Mac MA 352, and a pair of devore o96 speakers. Smallish room, just plan on streaming and putting a turntable onto the system, but nothing else. Figure i will just subscribe to tidal or Qbouz for the convenience, although anything appl conected is a plus. Will have a hard wire connection and decent wifi. I suppose i am most worried about how technology may change, and whether I should go R2R, but that rabbit hole started to make my head hurt.

If anyone has some opinions, either it wont work or seems like a solid approach, views are much appreciated.

I bought a Lumin D1 here on AG from someone upgrading to a T2, and he confirmed the upgrade was indeed worth it, as others have said. I plan on going that route shortly as the Lumin has been reliable and enjoyable to listen to. 

I work for software company and know a bit about UI/UX and the Lumin software is very dated and not very logical. But it's serviceable and the hardware is so good, I believe users just put up with it.
