Finally got a Luxman
Congrats on the Luxman. That was on my wish list as well. I had several intergrated on my list. A Mac with those blue meters I wanted since forever. Finally got one. The other was a Accuphase and I got a great deal on a new one. I had PassLabs on ... 
Back to the DAC
As been said, imo, once you get up,in the high-end dac, preference is at play. I settled on the Holo May KTE. I like a warm rich sound. The may with my pass intergated and Aurender n20 gives me just that. I’ve purchased all the Eversolo models inc... 
No discussion about the Synergistic Pink fuse?
I got off the bus at purple avenue. No more travel for me.  
Aurender Conductor V4 issues
New conductor update fixed the crash on my iPhone 10. I see there WAS AN issue. Happy for that, but now the warm theme seem to be missing. Oh well, I guess u can’t have it all.  
The time has come and I request advice...
Yes, I had a 130 and now I have an arunder N20. No contest. I even thought the Eversolo A8 was better in my system. Look at the inside of the 130 and look at a arunder N200 or N20. My opinions based on local play back.  
Aurender Conductor V4 issues
My iPad works fine, but I have an older iPhone 10. That might be the issue.

What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good.
First good dac I have had and have kept the longest, was the schitt Yggy. I have owned all the Denafrips DACs up to the terminator 12th. I purchased the Holo. Springs May KTE. Done. Added a aurender N20 streamer, done. Better seems to never stop s... 
Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line
The Aurender N200 is an excellent unit. It will not be the bottleneck in your system. I have bought and tried all 3 Eversolo models including upgraded power supply and they were awful,l with a house sound in my system. The A8 was better, but still... 
Stuff You Tried To Love
Hi Fi Rose 130, Lifeless in my system. Replaced it with an Aurender N20. Smiles returned.  
Digital newbie
Jut a suggestion, before you start spending lots of money, try using your computer as a streamer to get the feel. That is how I started. I had to spend 12K before I found a streamer, that sounded better to my ears.  
Accuphase Experiences
I have an Accuphase 380 integrated. In my system, the bass is not polite. This is in comparison to my Pass 250 and Hegal 390. I find the sound to be very natural and engaging. Build quality is second to none, IMO.  
Streamer/DAC combinations
The Pontus would definitely uplift your system with the node. You might find you will not need a new streamer.
