Lumin U2 or Aurender N200
FWIW I too have been very happy with my N200 and Aurender Support has been extremely quick and responsive. Good luck with your decision.  
Does the streamer effect sound quality
I agree with @audphile1 Keep the node until you can save up for something better.  I owned a Cambridge CXNV2 before my Arender N200. The Aurender is far better. The CXN was good and had a good sound as a stand alone unit, I didn’t like that it d... 
Speaker for 11x12 room
I would take a serious look at those Used Fyne Audio speakers that were suggested, they work well with tubes.  Firing down the long end at the 8.65 foot wall. At least the first several 6.5 feet on each side of the speakers is symmetrical so you w... 
What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound?
Shunyata Black Mamba on sources and 2 BMI Whale Elite on amp which requires 2 power cords. Much quieter back drop the music was presented in. I still have them. I use Wireworld Silver Electra 7's on my digital front end now.   
Musical subwoofer under $2000
@sparksgja  FWIW I have an Arendal 1723 1s. I use it in my modest 5,1 HT. It is a fantastic sub, two for music would fit you very well. I consider them the equivalent to an SVS SB 4000-in specs.  They have a 45 day audition period. You had mentio... 
Aurender Conductor V4 issues
Support indicated that I have app V 4.4.10 and 4.4.18 was just released today and that seems to be working. Time will tell.  
Aurender Conductor V4 issues
@audphile1 Just an Iphone 13 and a Macbook.   I usually have the N200 in standby so it boots up at beginning of session. I think it is an issue with iOS version and V4.   I will try a complete reboot tomorrow.  
Aurender Conductor V4 issues
@ghdprentice  Yes I have, and I updated it via a link provided from Support. It will work great, then I will pause for a while and when i come back it's messed up. froze up. Sometimes the music is still playing and moves on to the next selection i... 
Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!!
@rbrannen "Legacy Audio Focus XD. Thoroughly happy and content. Along with the Wavelet 2 DSP/EQ. I auditioned multiple speaks and for the price point (15k] there are simply no other contenders to get me where I wanted to be. "   I am exactly in ... 
Streamer to Denafrips Iris to Pontus need cable suggestions please
@jaytor  you can set your gaia to "000" and then try different I2s setting on the Terminator. I had to do this on my Hermes/Venus II and it works again.    > Please go through the guide detailed here: https://www.denafrips.com/config-i2s Su... 
Suggestions for a good I2s cable $300-$400 range?
@twodurdens  I have nothing to compare it to, but I am veryhappy with it.  
Legacy Wavelet as Preamp/DAC/DSP vs just DSP
Interesting thread since I am also a recent owner of the Wavelet II for my Focus XD speakers. Running the VAC Renaissance 70/70 amp on top. I found that if you send Ed at Legacy an email with your wavelet Serial number they can look up your sweeps... 
Speaker placement Quandary
@ghdprentice If you look at the last 2 pictures in my Virtual System you will see the new Legacys. Side equipment is not an option for 2 reasons. Dedicated lines location and no room to the side walls to set up equipment. My system is ever evolvin... 
Have you asked yourself this question?
I sold my LP playback system last May, I used the funds to buy an Aurender N200. I just never used it, I also sold my 450 LP collection. It bothered me that it sat for months getting no use. I still have my CD playback system and 1000 + CD collect...
