Lumin U1 Still Relevant??

Greetings to those "in the know,"

Is the Lumin U1 still relevant as a benchmark streamer since the introduction of the new U2 Mini? I'm in the market for a streamer, and my head is spinning! Aurender is in the mix, but I have heard mixed reviews on the N200. I'm open to any recommendation up to $7500. The U1 is approaching six years old, and I question the technology improvements we have had since then. 

Thanks!!

If you use Roon extensively, Aurrender is out of equation. You might consider the Innous as well.

I'm looking at the U2 mini myself.

I would go with Mini U2, why settle for outdated processing hardware and software in U1? IME, the newer generation models are not only improved but also the beneficiary of trickle down tech from reference models thus closing the performance gap.

We heard the 432Evo at Axpona and to put it bluntly it SUCKED. Ok show conditions but still not a good showing.
