| Lumin U2 vs Aurender N200 @papafrgog wrote: I have not listened to the Aurender units, but understand them to be high quality. My Mac MB100 was decent, but continually a source of issues. I gave up on it and purchased a new Lumin U2 (not a mini). The external power supp... | |
| Lumin U2 vs Aurender N200 @wsrrsw wrote: P.S. This month’s Sterophile raves and raves about the iFi Audio NEO Stream. It’s $1300! Once again, a reason to not trust everything that you read. Especially by a professional reviewer. I demoed a NEO Stream and ended up ret... | |
| Cheapest good sounding dvd player? I recently donated my beloved Denon DVD1600 that was in storage for at least a decade. This player had reference quality video playback. You can find these used for under $100. | |

| Shootout: Roon versus Plex, Qobuz versus Tidal: Who Won? Since Lumin has announced support for Plex, I did a casual comparison. My results were very different to yours. Plex(amp) did not sound worse than Roon. And that was a bit of a disappointment to be honest. I expected Roon to sound better (being a ... | |
| Revisiting Chinese Knockoff Cables For kicks (and a waste of a little disposable income), I decided to investigate these knock-off cables. Or at least one in particular, the AudioQuest Vodka48. I knew I'd be throwing away money so I picked one that was fairly cheap. I happen to ... | |
| WhestTHREE signature phono pre vs. ModWright PH 9.0X I demo’d a Whest THREE about 7-8 years ago. It sounded fantastic. It was dynamic, quiet and very open. My issue at the time was owning a Lyra Delos. The two combined to just have too much high frequency energy. So I sent it back. Later realizing i... | |
| Lumin Streamers @calieng no, you troll. Get it right. I'm an Ayre fanboy. You stick with Paul and I'll stick with almost everyone else in the high end industry who produce far superior gear than PS Audio 🤣 | |
| Lumin Streamers @calieng your reading comprehension clearly sucks. Re-read my post again slowly. You’ll see that I have moved on from PS Audio and Paul McGowan. He is merely one dude and he’s invested a ton of money with I²s. So what the hell do you expect him to... | |

| direct stream 2-Stereophile review I was/am still using all the gear that is in my system page with the exception of the Lumin U2 streamer. Converting my LAN to fiber optics helped the DS DAC a ton but I just knew it was still missing something. The U2 showed me quite handily wha... | |
| direct stream 2-Stereophile review I am sure the Mk.2 betters the Mk.1 in every category - as it should. But I am so much happier with my system after moving away from PS Audio gear (P12 and DSD Mk.1). 'Noise' with the DSD (used as a Roon Endpoint) was an understatement. | |
| Lumin Streamers @mr_m wrote: Lumin is over priced. Period... Well, please elaborate then. You're so certain they're overpriced, so let's hear your detailed findings. | |
| Blue Dragon and Moon I know this is an older thread but I feel compelled to share my thoughts about the Blue Dragon PCs. I bought a pair of them earlier this year. I gave them ~45 days or so of run in and they just never seemed to float my boat. I tried one on my D... | |
| Lumin Streamers lol... It's ZIDOO, not Vidoo. And there is no F'ing way this thing sounds as good as that (paid shill) leads you to believe. I own a Zidoo unit as well as a Lumin U2. Worlds apart. |
