Lumin T2 impressions?

USB sucks vs using Ethernet. Some people will try to sell you tweaks to improve usb which they might work, but it’s like putting lipstick on a pig. I tried a couple tweaks which helped a little but I was glad I sold all of that stuff. My server with many TB’s of SSD and spinning disks is located in a different area of the house, away from my audio room and my dac is connected to my 1Gb switch. 

Actually, i do not need the streaming part. The lumin would probably be overkill. The brooklyn + or the M2 Tech Young iii look interesting. Both have mqa and balanced outputs

Keep looking. You are getting warmer. You solution may be  $1.000
less.

I'd be curious to heart the M2Tech vs the Brooklyn +

Well i have just had the T2 on loan , and from my view its an highly musical streamer , it also has depth as well as being able to hear what instruments is being played , vices are great. Bass is solid and good with definition.
If you move up to S1 you get more of everything , and for the X1 i can only say waouuu its like you have a floating hologram floating in front af you.
I did try all of these out in my own system and had money not been a concern i would buy the X1 in a second..

For the Lumin as a company they are very responsive , Peter Lie is very active in different forums and always really helpfull...Before entering the HiFi scene they have done professional video equipment for broadcasting stations as far as i know.
Updates are very easy and free of charge , when you power the device up if there is an update it will just tell you that there is an update and you can then install it..MQA was offered as a free update as well , i have a T1 that i have had for 2 years now and never had a single problem.
You can do Spotify - Qobuz - Tidal and internet radio as well as having a nas with minim server installed and then play  music.
