Thoughts on Lumin D2 Upgrade from Node 2i


Picked up a Lumin D2 and have had some time to enjoy it! I have some thoughts about my upgrade from a Bluesound Node 2i.

The sound quality improvement was apparant instantly, so no complaints there...BUUU-HUUUT...

The UI and general useabilty of the Lumin app is, unfortunately, completely inferior to Bluesound.

A knowledgeable friend recommends Roon as an alternative. I have not been motivated enough to learn a new app, so I guess the app isnt too terrible, but my addiction manifests itself in thinking I should get a Chord Qutest or similar and take digital signal from Bluesound, etc...

My system: TIDAL HiRes > Lumin D2 > Bryston B60R > Focal Sopra 1

@alienqueen,
How long have you had the LUMIN vs the Node 2i? Just wondering because I’ve had Bluesound, LUMIN, Roon, and Conductor. I thought they all took a bit to get used to, but not so bad after a while.
