Updating my streamer

For me, I believe the best value out there is a used, high end Lumin (like a U1).  You can get them for about 0.35 on the dollar and the power supply is really great.  I bought one about a year ago becuase my Mac Mini (which was my streamer) had a issue with mutiple users so I bought the Lumin to remedy that.  

I was surprised at the difference in sound quality and I was not expecting any difference.  I bought it for a purly ergonic point of view, initially. 

One thing with Aurender is they aren't as flexible as your Node.  For example, they are not Roon ready, if that matters to you.

That's actually super interesting to know!

@skids I stand corrected!  That's a new (to me) feature and something VERY welcome (IMHO)!
